New Steam Soulslike Blends Dark Souls With Diablo
GameRant • • technology
Key Points:
- Grim Axiom, a new Soulslike game blending Dark Souls' combat with Diablo's isometric dungeon crawling, has launched on Steam as the first commercial release from indie developer Rare Soup.
- The game features challenging stamina-based combat, stealth mechanics, puzzles, and side quests, all presented from an isometric camera perspective uncommon in Soulslike titles.
- Player progress is saved only at checkpoints, maintaining the genre’s traditional difficulty, while the slower-paced combat distinguishes it from faster action RPGs like Diablo.
- Steam reviews are mixed, with praise for its nostalgic 90s action RPG feel and combat weight, but criticism over the lack of a lock-on system and limited environmental variety.
- Grim Axiom is currently available at a 10% launch discount for $7.19, with the offer expiring on August 16, making it an appealing option for fans seeking a fresh take on the Soulslike genre.
