Our take on Grimgrad
Instead of treating city building as only an economic planning exercise, the game places settlement management alongside Slavic deities, folklore creatures, and decisions shaped by random hardships. Its structure combines a story campaign with Survival mode rather than relying on one city-building format.
What is Grimgrad?
Build and manage a Slavic settlement during the Middle Ages.
The game includes a story campaign centered on Slavic deities and a Survival mode. Players place roads, arrange mining and resource production, and respond to villagers’ needs. Settlement challenges include pestilence, dirt, hunger, predators, and changing weather. Decrees can address incidents such as a bakery fire or disease in a residential area. Random events introduce decisions with consequences, while Slavic gods and folklore creatures add another part of settlement management. The game presents city-building systems for players who are new to the genre, with the central task of creating a comfortable environment while dealing with medieval hardships.
