A scotching day is switching swiftly into coolness and then to coldness in the vast desert, which spreads up and down through hummocks into infinity; nothing is stirring except the subtle movement of prolonged shadows of some tilted wooden railings and dilapidated deserted houses cast down on the ground by the setting yet flaring sun. This place seems to be shrouded by silence, but this pseudo-peace impresses to be woven by tension with certain premonition lurking and looming behind. That is Grimlands.

Grimlands falls into the category of MMORPG, which integrates the first-person shooting action together with role-playing elements. The storyline of this game unfolds against the setting of a post-apocalypse world that turns out to be the ruins of the Earth, a wasteland after the violent earthquakes two decades ago. The cruelty and harshness of the environment nurture even more brutal inhabitants such as lunatics, mutants as well as gangs of relentless outlaws. The extremity of the world condenses people’s desire to minimum: survival. Thusly, to fit into Grimlands and stay alive, in-game avatars’ skills are crucial. In fact, one of the highlights of this game consists in its design of skill-upgrading system.

Rather than the traditional method to improve skills by way of increasing skill points, the motto here is that practice makes perfect, that is, avatars’ skills are not defined by their classes and will improve only through frequent use, otherwise, their skills become rusty and disappear. In addition, this game also boasts other appealing features, including a comprehensive crafting system that allows players to yield their creativity to make unique weapons and other items of their own, modifiable vehicles that carry on players’ personal styles, and intelligent opponents that can not be defeated to make the game challenging with enduring appeal, to say nothing of the thrilling quests and diversified PvP mode.

Grimlands, a land for a man of men, is where the apocalypse was just the beginning.
