Hades Meets Heavy Metal in Grim Trials for Nintendo Switch 2, Demo Out Now

Death doesn’t wait, and neither does Glory Jam. Today, the renowned Indonesian indie studio officially announces its electrifying heavy metal action-roguelite, Grim Trials, is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. The demo for the game is live now on the Nintendo eShop. The game is published by leading video games publisher, Soft Source Publishing.

Grim Trials is a heavy-metal action roguelite where you craft and customise your own weapons and equipment to embrace Death your own way. Play as Avelin, a young woman who has met an untimely end, and found herself recruited as one of Death’s many Reapers.

Tasked to hunt down impure souls, face her demons, and fight her way through an underworld of her own making, Avelin must endure these trials to become a full-fledged Reaper and see her still-living love once again.

Grim Trials is a masterclass in the heavy metal art of crafting and customising your own weapons. Forget pre-defined loadouts—here, you forge your own instrument of destruction, experiment with them in the arena by mixing and matching deadly parts to create the ultimate embodiment of your rage.

And what is a heavy metal journey without the soundtrack to match? Grim Trials boasts an original, head-banging score composed by a local Indonesian metal band— Sigmun — a sonic assault that grooves with every swing of your custom-built scythe.

Key Features:

Craft Your Armament: Build and remix weaponry in real-time. Death isn’t a gift; it’s a tool you build to fit your hands.
A Heavy Metal Soundscape: Headbang to an original, pulse-pounding soundtrack from an Indonesian metal band, perfectly synced to the rhythm of combat.
The Trials of Avelin: Experience a poignant story of love, loss, and redemption as you fight through the psychological landscape of a soul in turmoil.
Nintendo Switch 2 Portability: Play at home or on the go with crisp visuals and refined haptics that let you feel every heavy-metal guitar riff and critical hit.
