Secrets of Grindea is a 2D action RPG, reminiscent of Super Nintendo classics like Secret of Mana and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. But its endearing pixel art style belies a deep skill and talent system that forces you to make hard choices between specialization and balance.

In our new gaming series What to Play, we take the beta version for a spin. The game is not finished, but you can purchase the beta for $15 and receive all the updates as they're implemented.
