Grom is a game that really sets itself apart from the pack with its unique blend of action and RPG elements as well as having a tactical depth to the game that many games lack. It's only flaw might be that the game is so unique that it can take quite a while to get into it, and the game is not very forgiving. Once you have mastered the controls the game becomes easier, but it is still quite difficult with each new screen bringing new challenges and requiring new techniques to survive. This is good if you like a game that provides a steady challenge, but it can also be somewhat frustrating at times having to reload and try multiple times to get past a certain stage of the game.

Grom offers a strong story, which keeps you coming back for more. The cast of characters in the game is unique and interesting and the game is set in a mystical Tibet that is quite unlike almost any other game out there. The game's setting and characters reminded me somewhat of adventure films such as the Raiders of the Lost Ark, with lots of adventure and action set in a strange land (to Westerners). The game offers enough gameplay for its reduced asking price to be worth a purchase, if you are a fan of action/RPG titles and are in the market for something unique.
