Mechanics

Grime II is a side-scroller. Most of the game consists of fast-paced combat, requiring agility, good reflexes, well-timed parries and counter-attacks. Absorbed enemies also tip the scales in our favor, granting special attacks and abilities. They let us throw weaker enemies, fire projectiles, stun goes and shapeshift. The environment is also important, as there are many interactive objects scattered about we can use to damage enemies; they, however, can use them against us as well. Apart from regular foes, we'll also face powerful bosses.

We'll traverse diverse yet dark locations, jump on platforms, avoid traps and obstacles. Our new forms come in handy while exploring as well, letting us reach inaccessible areas.
