While it might be unfair to compare Grimvalor to its obvious inspiration, the fast pace and satisfying combat make it truly stand out from the crowd. The style and setting might not be breaking any new ground, but the core of the gameplay is unique in its own right. It might even provide a good challenge for players looking for some brisk action that is great in short bursts.

I’d even say that the Switch was the perfect fit for a game like this because you can play it in small bursts, but I ended up playing Grimvalor in very long sessions without even paying attention.
