The new remaster promises higher-resolution, widescreen visuals, new magic mechanics and skill tree options, rebalanced difficulty options, an overhauled save system, and a newly recorded voice track, as well as a gallery of Maenou’s gorgeous artwork. Unfortunately, despite receiving plaudits from critics and fans, and even being fortunate enough to receive a western localization, GrimGrimoire was something of a sales flop, which quickly put an end to plans for an extended franchise.
