No, that's not a typo. I meant to spell Grimm. As in the Grimm brother's the original writer's of many of the fairy tales we know and love. Except that when the Grimm brothers wrote them, they weren't as happy as we know them to be. That's an important fact to remember for this one.
Hello everybody and welcome to another Mythical Review! Today we're taking a look at another free game (I'm a cheap bastard, sue me) called Grimm. The premise of this game is that one of the two Grimm brothers is teleported into the world of his stories, but as they are now. Not the dark, twisted version that he helped write. And obviously he's not very happy that, and I wouldn't be either! That's like someone rewriting my blog, but making it completely serious!
Through the game, you're playing as this Grimm brother (although I nicknamed him the smelly dwarf) and you're trying to ruin all the happy gooey-ness and bring the story back to it's original version. And you do this by walking around, making things "smelly," "stinky," "nasty," "putrid," etc. etc.
The game play itself is pretty entertaining, because there's a lot of ambiance and such from NPC characters and even yourself, so it's not like you're sitting there in silence. Plus there are a lot of funny things that are said by everyone, either just randomly or situationally. (One level was at a school playground and the kids would run from the Smelly Dwarf shouting "The smelly man is back!")
However, it can get pretty dark. There are people that are hanged, and a man that is burned, all for the story line. There is also a light amount of blood content, although not realistic blood, so make sure you're prepared if you decide to play it.
Overall, although it is a sinister game, it won me over with it's silliness so I would recommend trying this game out yourself. Who knows, you might learn some things about your favorite story at the same time.
This has been another Mythical Review. Thanks again for reading, and stay awesome!
