<p>GamesCom 2020 had just come out with some big reveals, and during IGN’s presentation of Awesome Indies, we got a look at Clover Bite’s upcoming soulslike sidescroller <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/grime">GRIME</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>Destroy... Absorb... Grow... GRIME is a fast and unforgiving Action-Adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue.</p>

<p>An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence. What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.</p>
</div>

<p>Soulslike games are usually reserved for 3D platformers but old-school gamers will know the real challenge that you could get with these sidescrolling action games—hence the metroidvania subgenre (named after Metroid and Castlevania).</p> 

<p>The aesthetics of GRIMEseem influenced by Dark Souls: the larger than life bosses and crazy power ups harken back to the more classic Metroid games. Just like those titles, you also get to power up and improve your hero based on your play-style.
</p>

<p>While this is admittedly just a short look at GRIME, hopefully we get to see more of Clover Bite’s highly anticipated title before the year ends. We also hope we don’t have to wait too long into next year before we can get our hands on the game.</p>

<p>An official release date has not been announced for GRIME, but it is set to be available sometime in 2021.</p>
