On a gameplay level, Grim Grimoire is an unusual RTS, as the levels are all vertical, and the main focus is on the combat rather than resource management and building. Like with Odin Sphere, you have the option to revisit any cutscene during the course of the game, which is always a great feature.

They always provide a quality script and make the characters full of personality. I always liked NIS America’s localization and this title is no different. It was fun at times to see what she would do next. She still retains the “good girl” personality, she can be quite crafty as she gathers information while exploiting the time loop, manipulating her peers (in a good way!), and making some bold moves whilst remaining calm. What I found to be the most interesting aspect is Lillet’s character development. In these short five days, the supporting characters, particularly the students, managed to help give some character development to Lillet. This can also lead to learning new things about the other characters or even seeing them in a new perspective. While the timeline repeats itself every five days, you rarely see the same event, as Lillet takes different actions each day, seeing completely new moments. With a small cast, there is a good amount of characterization for each of them, each being unique and memorable in their own way. On the other hand, it kept me interested due to the good characters. It remained a bit too simple for its own good and was not very deep either. The premise may be interesting, but the plot is on the shallow side. Lillet uses the chance to learn the secrets of the school and try to save everyone. By luck, she winds up going back in time to her first night at school, with all her memories intact and with the grimoire she had received. However, on the night of day 5, the archmage is released from his prison, and Lillet becomes the sole survivor of his onslaught.

She wants to be a great magician in order to support her younger brothers back home, and spends the first few days learning various types of magic, along with meeting teachers and fellow students. With her talent in magic, she was invited to study in the Magic Academy located at the Silver Star Tower where young, gifted magicians reside. Grim Grimoire is the story of a young lass named Lillet Blan.

Thanks to the fine folks at NIS America, Grim Grimoire came to US shores and this time, Vanillaware graces us with a console RPG/real time strategy hybrid. Prior to its release in both Japan and the United States, Grim Grimoire was released in Japan back in April. Odin Sphere quickly gained a lot of attention for such a niche game and I quickly became a fan of the company’s work. Who knew that Vanillaware, a new company that fell under the radar, created one of the most gorgeous and enjoyable game I have played on Sony’s PlayStation 2.
