About this game
ABOUT GRIMWAR
Grimwar is a multiplayer first-person shooter set in the 3040s. After the collapse of the old world, magic returned, and two factions now fight over the last remaining magical resources.
The Union and the Order use rebuilt World War II-era technology in combination with the occult to wage a new kind of war. Players choose a class, join a team, and fight through brutal matches where positioning, teamwork, and roles matter.
CHOOSE YOUR ROLE
Each class has its own purpose in battle, with different equipment, strengths, and weaknesses. Some classes are better at direct combat, while others support the team, control space, or help push objectives. Players need to use their role effectively and work with their squad to survive.
