What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access offers an invaluable opportunity to build Grimdoria not just for the community, but with the community. Developing a game of this scope and scale, especially an indie MMORPG, is a significant undertaking! It involves careful balancing, fleshing out a large game world, complex mechanics, and an array of features that form the foundation for the expected classic MMORPG feature set. Early Access will serve as the platform where these elements can be tested, iterated, and polished based on community feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The timeline for exiting Early Access is inherently tied to achieving specific developmental milestones rather than adhering to a fixed date. The primary goal before moving to a full launch is to flesh out the game world up to level 60 (the initial level cap), complete with an assortment of dungeons, raids, and other content that would make for a rich, full-featured classic MMORPG experience.

Given the complex nature of MMORPG development, especially by an indie developer, it is challenging to provide an exact timeframe. However we expect a full release, and to leave Early Access, in January 2025. As key features and content are implemented and refined based on player feedback, we will regularly update the community on the anticipated timeline.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game is envisioned to be a substantially more polished and expansive experience compared to the Early Access version. The Early Access release will be an evolving indevelopment game and serve as a foundation, laying out the game mechanics, leveling quests, and a portion of the game world. The full release aims to provide a far more complete world containing max level raids and and a max level cap of level 60.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The initial release of Grimdoria in Early Access provides foundational gameplay elements for players. Features include:

  • Character Creation: Players can create characters within the human starting zone. Character customization is available, with aesthetic and class options.

  • Available Classes: Three classes are available from the start: Wizards, Clerics, and Fighters. Each class comes with its own skill set and playstyle.

  • Quests and Leveling: The game includes a series of introductory quests within the starting zone. Players can progress their characters up to level 15.

  • Dungeons: A 5-person dungeon is available for cooperative play, offering a PvE (Player versus Environment) experience.

  • PvP Content: Early Access includes the availability of Player-versus-Player battlegrounds for competitive gameplay.

  • Character Progression: Players can equip their characters with various gears, unlock spells, and allocate points to subclass specializations.

    Please note, other factions, as well as the four additional planned races, are not available in this initial version but are slated for inclusion in future updates.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Grimdoria will maintain Free to Play status both during the Early Access phase and after the full release. This ensures that you will never have to pay to play Grimdoria at its core. During Early Access there may be a limited level cap for Free to Play players but this will not exist in the full release. This level cap is intended for encouraging players to help support Grimdoria's development.

Grimdoria is commited to offerring both a Free to Play option as well as never monetizing the game in a way that allows players to "Buy Power".”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community will be an essential part of Grimdoria’s development journey, and there are several strategies planned which will involve players directly in the shaping of the game.

Players will be encouraged to actively participate in testing to identify bugs, glitches, and performance issues. Interaction with the player base will be maintained through various platforms such as Discord and social media, where feedback on game balance, new features, and other relevant information will be collected and acted on. Special testing events may provide an opportunity for players to experience and test upcoming Early Access features before they become available on the live Early Access server. Regular updates will be issued to keep the community informed about development progress, and periodic polls and surveys may be conducted to gauge player opinions.”

About This Game



Grimdoria is a 3D stylized high-fantasy indie MMORPG based on the classic golden era tab-targeting combat. Join the Adventurer's guild and work your way up the ranks! Developed by a tiny team of mostly one person Grimdoria aims to provide a quality classic MMORPG experience with development fueled by overwhelming passion for the genre.

Grimdoria features a rich 3D stylized world with localized and global narratives as well as many of the expected classic MMORPG features and experiences such as:

Dungeons


Dungeons will offer a thrilling challenge for groups of adventurers seeking to test their mettle against formidable bosses and their minions. These instanced zones are designed specifically for groups of five and require a tank and a healer. The allure of dungeons go beyond the test of strength and teamwork as they contain some of the rarest loot and treasures in the game, offering rewards that significantly surpass what can be found in the shared world. Adventurers will find not just dungeons to explore but also the chance to gain truly powerful gear, weapons and more!

Quests


Grimdoria will contain an array of quests in formats familiar to veterans of the genre. As adventurers traverse through the realm of Grimdoria, they'll encounter fantasy-themed narratives enriched by the added depth of voice acting. Every character they meet and every storyline they unravel has its own unique voice. Players can adventure through the world questing on behalf of the many denizens of the realm as many have come to expect from the genre.

Group Up


Adventurers in the realm of Grimdoria are able to party up, allowing them to band together in parties of anywhere from 2 to up to 40 adventurers! Taking advantage of this system is required to conquer Grimdoria’s dungeons, embark on epic raids, or explore the biggest dangers and wonders of the shared world. Adventurers are stronger in numbers and many of the greatest threats the realm of Grimdoria face cannot be conquered alone!

PvP Battlegrounds


PvP Battlegrounds are the ultimate test for teams of adventurers seeking the thrill of player-vs-player combat. By enrolling in these instanced battlegrounds, players get to join team-based battles that put their skills, strategies, and cooperation to the test. Victory and besting of fellow adventurers will also reward exclusive PvP currency. This exclusive currency can be used to procure specialized gear and equipment specifically designed for PvP encounters. This is but one of the many spoils of war that await you as you fight against adventurers from all around Grimdoria!

Mounts


Mounts offer adventurers a stylish and efficient way to traverse the expansive world of Grimdoria. Adventurers can collect a variety of mounts, each with its unique aesthetic. These range from the common and practical to the rare and awe-inspiring epic mounts, the latter serving as a prestigious reward from the most challenging content. These epic mounts aren't just a means of faster travel; they're a symbol of achievement and status, letting the riders stand out in a crowd and display their accomplishments to fellow adventurers.

Achievements


The achievement system is a testament to an adventurer's journey, capturing memorable milestones and exceptional feats. The system encapsulates a wide spectrum of achievement types that cater to every type of adventurer. Whether it's accomplishing challenging tasks, exploring hidden corners of Grimdoria, or conquering the hardest of raid dungeons, every achievement has its place. What's more, some of the most challenging achievements don't just offer bragging rights, but also bestow unique rewards!

Raids


Raids in Grimdoria provide adventurers with challenging dungeons of monumental scale. Raids are instanced large-scale dungeons designed for 10-25 adventurers. Similar to dungeons but with amplified complexity, intensity, and of course rewards. Raids will present unique bosses and mechanics that demand exceptional coordination, strategic planning, and high proficiency from adventurers. Success in these raids will provide adventurers access to some of the most potent and prestigious spoils of battle.

Guilds


Guilds offer a communal aspect for adventurers establishing a shared sense of unity among adventurers in Grimdoria. Adventurers can band together under a shared banner, creating named guilds that serve as their adventuring collectives. Every quest completed, dungeon conquered, and raid triumphed by the guild members contribute to the collective reputation and standing of the guild. As guilds rise in prominence through their collective deeds, so do the adventurers within it. They're not just a team; they're a community that grows, thrives, and makes a name for itself in the vast expanses of Grimdoria. Guilds offer a home, a shared identity, and a platform for achieving feats and accomplishments.

Holy Trinity


At the heart of Grimdoria's gameplay is the classic MMORPG triad: the Tank, the Healer, and the Damage Dealer. This 'Holy Trinity' forms the backbone of the game's combat mechanics and team dynamics, especially within dungeons and raid content. Tanks bear the brunt of enemy onslaughts. Healers mend wounds. Damage Dealers deliver the offensive punch. Each role is crucial, each interdependent, and the balance between them pivotal. Grimdoria's end-game group content is meticulously designed around this trinity for depthful cooperative group-based gameplay.

Target-based Combat


Grimdoria pays homage to the golden era of MMORPGs by featuring a robust target-based combat system. Adventurers target their foes explicitly for most spells. This explicit targeting system harks back to the classic days of MMORPG combat and to this day remains a relevant and engaging gameplay mechanic in almost all popular titles of the genre.

Classes


Grimdoria's class system brings a plethora of gameplay options, allowing adventurers to step into unique roles that best suit their playstyle. At its alpha testing stage, Grimdoria offers three main class archetypes: the Warrior, the Mage, and the Priest. Each class represents a distinct style of play. A total of nine classes total are planned for Grimdoria’s full release. Additionally, each class features three subclass specializations. These specializations enable adventurers to fine-tune their chosen class offering depth for their character progression. And with no gender-lock on any class, Grimdoria ensures that every adventurer can choose their path freely, embracing the gameplay experience that resonates with them the most.

Subclassing


Grimdoria's subclass system adds a layer of depth to each class for adventurers to further refine their chosen class. With up to three subclass specializations per class, players have the opportunity to tailor their spells, abilities and playstyle for the role or class fantasy that suits them best. As adventurers level up, they accrue specialization points that can be distributed within these subclass trees. Each point spent enhances their specialization, unlocking new abilities, enhancing existing ones, or offering unique passive benefits. Refine your class and character’s ability the way you desire!
