Our take on Grim Tides - Old School RPG
The defining structure is a solo tabletop-style adventure that combines written choices, turn-based encounters, and roguelike runs in one fantasy campaign.
What is Grim Tides - Old School RPG?
Grim Tides is a solo RPG set in Farhaven, a lawless port within a tropical archipelago hiding an ancient threat.
The game combines turn-based battles, dungeon-crawling exploration, text-driven events, and roguelike mechanics. Players shape a classless character with skills, spells, and perks; fight enemies and bosses; complete quests; collect bounties; and uncover pieces of lost lore. Ship and crew management forms part of the island journey. Four difficulty levels, optional permadeath, and other adjustable settings alter the structure of each run. Hand-drawn art and written storytelling present the Southern Isles as a fantasy setting with competing factions and a prisoner seeking redemption.
