Review Luitenant_Gruber 4/5 · Apr 18, 2025
A whole new storyline for Grim Dawn with tons of new features and items.
Grim Dawn is a great game and a satisfying RPG that plays very straightforward and easy. Like other RPG's, you control a character, defeat monsters and bosses, level up, spend skill points and complete quests. It is as classic as it will ever be. Grim Dawn has some unique features, however.

Grim Dawn is a great game and a satisfying RPG that plays very straightforward and easy. Like other RPG's, you control a character, defeat monsters and bosses, level up, spend skill points and complete quests. It is as classic as it will ever be. Grim Dawn has some unique features, however.
In Grim Dawn, you play as a character that has been possessed by the Aetherials and cured by the survivors of Devils Crossing. You start your adventure and fight against the forces of the dead, demons and other vile beasts. Like any classic RPG, your goal is to save the world and be the ultimate hero of the realms.
At any time, you can access the DLC's, including this one, Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth. It also blends in unique elements to the base game like different totems, items and mechanics.
In Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth, you continue the storyline of the original game in two new chapters. You take the fight to the Aetherials once again and your aim is to destroy a vile, ultimate creation by a very powerful necromancer.
The graphics are nice, grim and dark, just the way it should be. The animations and ragdoll are great and shooting or hitting an enemy with a club looks satisfying. The even darker atmosphere of the dark fortresses and graveyards are greatly done.
The sound is also great. The effects of weapons and enemies sound solid and the background music is atmospheric and relaxing.
This DLC adds a new level cap of 100, allows you to refund skill points on your mastery bar, new classes, even more stash space and many new enemies and bosses.
The interface and controls are the same as games like Diablo and Sacred and easy to understand. The inventory management is also self-explanatory.
This is one of those games that you need to keep playing for years and years to fully complete. Not necessarily because of the endless content, but rather because of the inhumane grind for levels, renown status and special items with low drop rates.
I have to say that the price for this DLC is a little on the high end here, but for a game like Grim Dawn, I would buy it anytime.
In the end, I would absolutely recommend this DLC to complete your experience with Grim Dawn.
