Description
Step into the enchanted world of Tiles of Grimmwoods - A roguelike deckbuilder where you place tiles to enlighten the kids path through a dark and sinister forest. Your choices influence the kids fate as you help them overcome lurking creatures, magical obstacles and ever rising fear.
Enlighten the path
In Tiles of Grimmwoods you play as the narrator of a fairy tale who enlightens the path of lost kids by strategically placing tiles on a paper scroll, revealing different items, effects, and treasure to aid the kids on their journey. Every time you reveal an item on the grid, it will appear on the path, so consider carefully what you place. There can also be traps, poisonous apples and other dangers that lurk in the shadows.
Fight lurking creatures
Prepare your kids for the horrors that lurk in the shadows. Lay traps for your enemies or strengthen the kids to make sure they’ll survive any encounter that they have to face on their escape.
Deckbuilding / Enchantments
As you progress you upgrade your deck with powerful new tiles and gain permanent benefits through enchantments to overcome tougher challenges and ensure the kids escape from the forest. Tiles of Grimmwoods seamlessly blends exploration, strategic tile placement, and deck-building into a challenging and gloomy roguelike experience.

User Reviews
I already played the demo and loved it! The look and feel of this game are amazing! I adore the sound desing, nothing too fancy, but top notch quality and never boring or repetitive. The game mechanics are unique, I've never played a similar game before (except the demo, of course)! I'm looking forward to hours and hours of fun with this, it seems to go really deep in complexity, I'm expecting to be challenged by this a lot!
Fun game with good mechanics behind it, would recommend for people who like deck builder and puzzle games :D
I really loved the mood and ambience this game created right off the bat. Doing multiple runs is fun too because I was really curious to know what I would find in different paths. It was also great to discover the bosses of this game when I found out their connection to classic fairytales.
The game gives a novel mechanic with the tetris style equipment planning. I like puzzeling myself through those situations, but at times it's a bit unforgiving and hard. Every ability counts!
Charming game and an interesting take on this Brothers Grimm story.
