This includes the ability to capture riftgates which prevents more from entering the world. Although your character is rid of this paranormal force, some power lingers within. The Aetherials are supernatural beings that corrupt the land, raise the dead and mutate animals for one purpose-human destruction. Players take the role of a human that was formerly possessed by an Aetherial spirit. The good news for backers, myself included, is that Grim Dawn is better than Titan Quest and a fantastic game in its own right. Titan Quest was a successful hack-and-slash game of the Diablo ilk from 2006, and Grim Dawn was aiming to be another dungeon-crawling, monster-slaying, loot-collecting adventure. It was easy to see why gamers wanted Grim Dawn-an action RPG created by the lead designer of Titan Quest using that game’s engine. Grim Dawn may have existed without Kickstarter, but it is hard to see it doing quite as well without an extra $500 thousand in the bank that early in development. Since then, the track record for crowd-funded games has been mixed enough to warrant caution. Giving money directly to developers was surely better than letting publishers dictate proceedings.

The Kickstarter funding model made a big splash in gaming four years ago.
