Grimmlins Tale
SteamGrimmlins Tale is an action adventure monster taming game where you fight and explore with fairy tale inspired monsters.
In Grimmlins Tale, all monsters are inspired by a fairy tale and characters within them. Here we have Froggold, a water type based on The Frog Prince.

Howlhuff, a wind type based on Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf

Gremlidge, a life and earth type based on the bridge troll in Billy Goat's Gruff

These creatures are going to help you along your journey. In grimmlins, your partners can be out and interact with you and the world totally fluidly. In Never Everland, the setting of the game, the world plays out almost like a predetermined play. All grimmlins live in a magical loop of fate where certain events will ALWAYS happen to them regardless of what they do. This is all done by an entity known as "The Director" who makes their lives play out in a way that echoes the stories they emulate from our world. In this way, grimmlins have no free choice, unless you save them from this fate.

Grimmlins is a lot of things, and one of those things is an rpg with lots of room for growth and player expression in their grimmlin and team building


Grimmlins Tale offers a deep strategic control system over your monsters while allowing you to use multiple monsters at once

Grimmlins Tale is all about depth. Not only do you command multiple grimmlins at once, but you also directly control your player character while you battle.
There is lots of exploring to be done with your grimmlin friends! Throughout the game you will be collecting golden books mysteriously checked out under your name like a modern day collectathon!



The player can climb and explore freely, but that's nothing compared to what your grimmlins can do for you! In Grimmlins Tale, riding and unique platforming abilities are taken to the extreme! Each grimmlin can help you get around and platform, and the large ones let you control them directly when riding! Double jump, build platforms, dash, roll, glide, and more with the help of your fairy tale friends!
