GRIM DAWN: ASHES OF MALMOUTH is a Necromancer's Dream

Love for Necros

Why is that so many action RPGs and MMOs try to raise from the dead (!) the fantastic Necromancer class from the Diablo II days yet usually fail so miserably? Well, fear no more Necro lovers because the folks at Crate Entertainment have released the first expansion pack, Ashes of Malmouth, for the already excellent Grim Dawn available on Steam, GOG, and other digital platforms. Besides the awesome Inquisitor class, the Necromancer class is really the showpiece for this inexpensive but delicious piece of content and class types.

That's right, for only $17.99, you can dive into the expansion of the already huge game. I love ARPGs, Diablo clones, whatever you want to call them and Grim Dawn and Crate are quickly rising to the top of the list IMHO. Check it out on the Steam store now!

Expansion Pack Features:

  • Level Cap Increased to 100 - Reach for ever greater power with an increased level cap of 100 and an increased Devotion cap of 55!
  • Two New Class Masteries – Unleash your vengeance upon the enemies of humanity with two new Masteries: the Inquisitor and the Necromancer, both of which can be combined with the base game’s Masteries, nearly doubling the possible combinations!
  • Two Story Chapters - Confront the devious Aetherials and their twisted abominations in the fallen city of Malmouth as you push forward alongside the Black Legion and Inquisitor Creed in two epic Chapters!

  • 14 Constellations - Unleash the might of the Arkovian Gods with 14 new Devotion Constellations that open up even more combinations in Grim Dawn’s massive constellation map.
