Grimlands
on Kickstarter
- help making our dream reality!
Dear community,
you have probably seen the bad news: gamigo has decided not to
continue the development of Grimlands. This decision was actually
made and communicated to us a while ago... however, as one says,
reports on our death are greatly exaggerated and we are not giving
up!
Thanks to friends and family, DRAGO entertainment is still
operational and we have started a Kickstarter project to finance the
completion of Grimlands. The game has made a lot of progress over
the past months and is planned to be released this year - if our
Kickstarter is successful.
Please keep your fingers crossed and help spread the word! Your
support is what counts to make Grimlands happen now!

page or use one of the banners on our Banner
Page that will link directly to our Kickstarter
project to spread the word.

What is Grimlands about?
Earth in a fictitious future. Twenty years after devastating
earthquakes lay everything to waste, what remains of humanity is
fighting hard for its survival. Those cities in the southwest United
States that did not crumble in the quakes have been flattened in the
bitter struggles for power that have ensued.
Roving bands of marauders, mutants and psychopathic robbers wander
the streets, looking for trouble. In this inhospitable
post-apocalyptic scenario there's only one goal: survival!
What sets Grimlands apart?
Grimlands is putting third person perspective shooter action into a
real MMORPG. The hybrid aiming system with auto and manual aiming
satisfies the needs of fans of both genres. The cover system
combined with sneaking and stealth opens unique gameplay options.
Further game features set new standards on the MMO market. Flexible
skills make it possible to naturally improve character abilities by
simply using them. Comprehensive crafting and vehicle systems offer
vast opportunities for individualization. NPC AI is based on a far
developed behavioral system that allows for tactical maneuvers of
enemy teams. The dynamic game world with day-night and weather
system can be influenced persistently by players actions.
Wide-ranged PvP features provide for long time player motivation.
Besides traditional systems battlegrounds the territory fights and
world objectives add much depth to the PvP side of this game.
Some of the features in Grimlands:
Flexible skill system: In comparison to traditional skill
systems, players don‘t have to level up and distribute skill points
among their skills. Unbound to a skill tree players are able to
improve their skills by simply using them and with the removal of
classes as skills are available to all players.
Innovative aiming system: Grimlands offers a hybrid aiming
system that allows both for rough aiming of enemies by stats-based
auto aiming and manual aiming of certain body parts with
significantly higher damage rate. The system satisfies both the
needs of traditional MMO fans and shooter players.
Comprehensive crafting system: The crafting system in
Grimlands is comprehensive, yet simple. By examining objects,
looting or trading players can gain construction plans and the
resources required for crafting, upgrading or repairing. In addition
items or their components can be recycled and the resources
extracted again. Item slots make way for further extension of item
functionality, like pointers on top of a rifle. With skill bound
crafting qualities and item stats that can be set by players
themselves the system allows for an almost unlimited number of
unique items. With the best items being crafted by players and the
auction house Grimlands offers a solid foundation for a strong
player based economy.
Intelligent enemies: Players are confronted with enemies
which perform strategic moves such as flanking from different sides,
tactical usage of weapons, cover and retreat, focus fire etc.
Modifiable vehicles: Various
vehicles can be acquired with vast opportunities for further
modification (basic vehicle parts such as engines and gearboxes as
well as weapon mount points, tanks and containers). Not only will
they let players reach destinations more quickly, but also allow for
storage and multiplayer rides such as one player is a driver, the
other a gunner. Fuel consumption and condition loss require regular
maintenance. On top of that vehicles bring a whole new dimension to
PvP.
Wide-ranging PvP features: duels, open world PvP, special PvP
areas in the open world or war declarations between clans are just
the beginning of what Grimlands has to offer when it comes to PvP.
The territorial PvP system allows clans to conquer and control
locations or even entire territories while players or groups can
participate in instanced battlegrounds. Ranks, titles, special PvP
gear or clan wide bonuses are among some of the rewards players can
gain in PvP.
