  So, I've been playing this game quite a bit, and even with the many negative reviews, I bought it anyway to play with a friend. Even though I bought to play with her, I've been playing the heck out of it by myself. Is this game worth the full price? Hell no, it isn't. Buy it on sale, and if you don't like it, take you money back, simple. But, is this game fun? [b]THIS GAME IS SO MUCH FUN[/b], I can't even express. Sure, the game [u]needs work[/u], almost every game that is alive can have work to be better. Sure, this game doesn't follow the web-series storyline, but it's obvious, the animated web-series is still on work, the story is unraveling. The game is related, but it's no much of what you have seen in the anime. [b]Overall, even the game being overpriced, because the content doesn't correspond to what you're paying, it is still a "new game", and the hell is worth to play it.[/b] Even if you buy it alone, the multiplayer is so nice (but not when the host leaves and stuff, but not a major problem), the horde mode IS SO FUN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. [i]10/10 would buy to see Jaune in a dress[/i] [strike](dlc content, one day I'll buy it :'c)[/strike]. [spoiler]Still waiting for Trading Cards (hello hello, devs).[/spoiler]

  I really didn't want the negative reviews to be true, I'm afraid they are though. I completed this games campaign in 1 hour and 53 minutes on the second to last difficulty which you'd think would be pretty hard right? Nope just use ranged and move backwards every now and then on the character I was playing. I really like RWBY so I really tried to like this game but its just not a full game. The enemies are very similar and hard to tell apart and usually just use melee attacks with the exception of I think ONE enemy at the end of the game. Graphically the game looks nice at a glance but on closer inspection theres a bunch of problems there too, the backgrounds of the maps you run through for example are just bare and have nothing in them save 2 or 3 trees and a rock, literally A rock. On top of this there is some horrendous pop-in which is very noticeable on levels with stones on the ground where you can see them either dissapear or switch to a much lower LOD model (I'm assuming thats what they're doing) within 10 metres of your character(s). This game does have some good points however, for example the actual characters you play as look just like the actual RWBY characters and so do the enemies for the most part. The game also has some decent (not great or memorable but good enough) music but to be honest I just muted it and listen to the actual RWBY soundtrack WITH the vocals. Honestly after all the bad things in this game I can't recommend it which is a damn shame because I really wanted to like this, is it so much to ask for a good RWBY game? Oh and it has £4 DLC which adds team JNPR (Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, Hammer Girl) which if you ask me is just a ripoff in itself, especially as the game itself doesn't have enough content to actually use these new team members in. TLDR: Short campaign, graphical problems, boring scenes, bad story supported by very few good elements for way to high a price. 4/10

  [b]Updated as of July 6, 2017[/b] TL;DR: While I personally enjoy this game to the fullest extent, I simply cannot recommend this game to any but perhaps the most die-hard RWBY fans. This game has come a long way from its Early Access days, but not enough has been done to bring the game to its full potential. While this game attempts to add something to the RWBY-verse in an interesting way, optimization errors, content pricing, and a community-wide chant of lack of content have brought me to not recommend this game. I have written 3 reviews for this game prior to this one, and each one I have removed from the store for various reasons. My first review was an Early Access one which did not reflect the changes that had occured around that time, and the other 2 lacked something in description that made them overall unhelpful. In all three, I recommended this game. This one I did not. RWBY: Grimm Eclipse is a hack-n-slash action/adventure game where you can play as the characters from Team RWBY and, as of recently, Team JNPR. The game features a campaign, where you must find out who or what is tampering with the security network protecting Vale from the Grimm, and a horde mode, where you must fight through waves of Grimm to protect security nodes. The game has the two main teams from the show: Team RWBY comes with the game and has stronger, more focused attacks, where as Team JNPR is DLC and focuses more on the team dynamic. Overall, the characters each have something unique that makes them different from the other, but a lack of combos hinders that diversity greatly. Basically, if you learn one character's combos, you know them all. The only diversity comes from their ultimate, team, and ranged attacks which can be upgraded through a skill point system. Prestiging is also a thing, allowing players to increase a "Hunter Rank", but that's about all it does. The campaign is, depending on how quick you are, no more than maybe 3 or 4 hours long. It is linear with some boss fights sprinkled throughout. You encounter new enemies and more of them each level, and there are 10 levels as the game stands right now. Horde is a new mode that was added last year which has anywhere from 8 to 10 waves to fight through on 3 different maps. This mode adds a money system in the form of Lien, which you can use to purchase defensive turrets. This mode is where most of the action is. If you are thinking of purchasing this game, be aware: You will at some point encounter some form of crash or glitch. This game has had optimization issues since the beginning, most of which have been taken care of at this point. But ever so often I find myself facing a crash screen or some other error that should not have happened. Furthermore, computer specs play a great deal into this. AMD's, as far as I know, seem to have some issues with this game, and graphics cards are required. Don't expect a smooth framerate, regardless if you have high-end specs. Pricing and content go hand-in-hand. Honestly, this game is a tad expensive for what it is offering: a 10 level campaign, horde mode with 3 maps, 4 characters all for $20. Pay another $5 and you can get 4 more characters. I have no issue with the JNPR DLC. I think it was well made and reasonably priced for what we got. $20 for the base game is $5 more than what I would consider reasonable, $10 for anyone else you ask. I think the game needs a few more horde maps, campaign levels or just campaigns, and more things to reward the players before I could consider $20 reasonable. Furthermore, I don't particularly like that JNPR is far more diverse than RWBY when RWBY comes with the game, and the lack of attack combos in a hack-n-slash game doesn't make it better. One last point I would like to make: There is a mod following for the game. If you find the game to be lacking in replayability but still want to put in some more hours, drop by the modding threads in the RWBY GE forum. They are a swell crowd can have made everything from gamemodes to texture packs. If you managed to read this far, thank you and I hope this helped you. Like I said, I genuinely like this game, but I find that I simply cannot recommend it to anyone other than hardcore RWBY fans. I've had many great experiences in this game, and I will support it as content development continues for it. Whether you end up buying it or not, keep those things I have mentioned in mind. GG and Good Hunting.

  [b]NOW BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME, PRETTY PLEASE READ EVERY WORD CAREFULLY AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND MY POINT! [/b] Trust me I'm not happy to make this decision aswell, but I had to. I feel guilty for doing it but for the sake of the fans and for the non-fans I had to give a negative review. If you want to argue with me or you gave me a negative review please tell it in the comments and if you are right or got a point, I'll edit my review. T;L D;R at the end. [b][u]So the review:[/u][/b] [u]Let me start with my personal experience:[/u] When I first heard that there will be a game to one of my favourite series I was astonished. But I didn't forget that I knew that small amount of people will work on it ( because its called an Indie game for reason *duh* ), so I passed the Early Access. Then Gaben deployed his Summer Sale bomb and the Devs told us that the price will increase after the full release, so I pressed the panic button and bought the game for 10 EUR. Also I suggested one of my friend to buy it and complete the game together. And so we did. The first time we finished the game was when it was still in Early Access. There were 8 Chapters (if I recall correctly) and around 1 hour game play lets say 1,5. Though It was a pretty okay Hack and Slash game, my reaction was (literally) : "Well that was 10 EUR ". It had several issues , but I told myself: Don't worry it's in Early Access, the full realease will be better. And I was right. Sadly only partially. Yes there were improvements like : new HUD, new stages, few new enemies and ...... thats all? . So we completed it again and it was a better experience for the second time and I loved the game. But because I wanted to stay relevant I gave myself some day to rethink my review, but I couldn't decide if I REALLY want to suggest it or not, so I asked my friend for his advice and he asked these questions: -Did you enjoy the game? Yes. -How long did it take to finish the game? 2,5 hour approximetly. -Would you pay around 20 euro for 2,5 hour game? And then it hit me and shocked me. And he was right. This game cost around 20 eur for 2 hour gameplay. So I replied: [i]No[/i] -Would you pay 10 Euro for 2,5 hour gameplay? Depends on. -Did you enjoy it that much to suggest it ? Well I don't know, honestly. So I started asking myself: - Ok. lets approach it from a different way. - How was the fighting? Pretty good but If I have to be honestly I mostly smashed buttons and the fights were repetitive - How was the story? Meh. -Grapichs? It fits the series IMO. -Music? Great - Did you enjoy the game? Yes And this was the paradoxon I was in. I liked it, but in all honest it was because: 1. played with friend 2. I was in love with the series. And sadly the same quote appeared when I finished the full game: "Well that was 10 EUR" [b][u]So lets put it simple then:[/u][/b] [u]Pros:[/u] - Great soundtrack - The style of the game fits to the original series. - Fast gameplay - More players? More enemies and more difficult. - Some funny quotes - Characters [u]The Meh part:[/u] - Story SPOILER ALERT!!!! [spoiler] The story was mediocre it was pretty basic and easy to follow which is always good, but WHO WOULD LET THE ENEMY GET TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND LET THEM STEAL IT?! SERIOUSLY IN WHICH UNIVERSE IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?! *susa* *susa* Literally the last 2 chapter was a joke in the sense of the story[/spoiler] - The fighting: As I said earlier its repetitive. Survive the waves of teh enemies kill the boss. Victory (hopefully) Pretty basic, pretty simple - Literally I saw 3 different designs put together in this game. The hud looks good and clean and you can see the work on it, now that's what you can't tell about the skill tree and the menus. The menu looks clean and simple which is always good but it also looks like a word text file. The skill tree looks like it was pictures put together like a flash game. I don't say these are bad traits , but it's not the greatest either. - The artworks. I agree with the others that said it was from devianart cause IT WAS. But not the better ones thats why its meh. - Point system, It needs some tweaking thats all I say [u]And bubus in the game:[/u] --- NO TUTORIAL. In a hack and slash game not knowing the combos and the buttons is just horrible. - No button rewinding (well at least I haven't found one) - Unbalance between characters. Blake is my favourite one in the series [spoiler]So because few of my friends thinks that liking Blake is a furry thing I'll do a favor for you guys (even though you are wrong) : F*CKING FURRIES (did I do it right?)[/spoiler] yet I feel like she is the weakest one. Literally when my friend played with yang he killed everyone with one charged attack. An I was sitting there like : ..... e.e *okay* *This is fine* *I'm okay with the event that are unfolding currently* *That's okay**Things are gonna be okay* [spoiler]If you wouldn't guessed it yet yes I am Indeed a memer ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [/spoiler] If I am wrong and I'm simply just bad please tell me and prove it so I can take this off atleast :/ - 2,5 hour gameplay. - Repeptitive, You will keep doing the same thing over and over again.(with some speedbumps but still) - NO TRADING CARDS. Seriously guys .... [spoiler]-The ending explosion effects, guys you dun goofed there[/spoiler] -No cutscenes [b][u]BEGGINER'S GUIDE:[/u][/b] - LMB Quick attack, RMB Heavy attack (you can charge it), R (or E?! :S) Gun attack press 3 times and a special attack will occur, F: Counter/Headbutt, E(or R? :S) Team skill (=execute), Space: Jump , Shift: Combos (try to press it with an order of buttons and you'll do some combos, also jump+shift is a tp or further jump) Q: ultimate (don't be afraid to use it, you will recharge it fast enough)<- here is your tutorial - KEEP SPAMMING AND SMASHING BUTTONS AND YOU WILL GIT GUD - Don't put your expectations on a high level trust me [b]FOR THE DEVELOPERS IF THEY READ IT SOMEHOW![/b] [u]What I missed / My suggestions:[/u] -Tutorial (really need it for a game like this) -Steam cards (let us show our fandom by letting us do a full steam profile around rwby) -More characters (*duh*) -Better storyline (I don't want to insult you but it looks like you rushed all of it) (-Bugfixes but I know you are constanly working on it) - More gameplay hours to put in - Customization (since in the new season rwby will get a new look I found this fitting) - More scenes - Stop this repetitiveness [spoiler]Maybe at the the end when the team escapes with the ship, there should be a part with the ship to fight agiant the air defense of the island, but thats not part of the hack and slash style but I find it interesting[/spoiler] If you managed the read all of this well first of all thank you, it means a lot to me. I tried to be as honest as I could and putting my fandom away for the sake of everyone. If you have suggestions I always appreciate it in the comment. Seriously I wanted to listen to my hearth but my brain won this time. Too many negatives to positives. And mainly because the lack of gameplay. I am sorry agaion for the developers to put a negative review, but I promise if I think it worth to play it at full price i promis you I'll change my review ;) [b][u]T;l D;R:[/u][/b] A pretty okay hack and slash game with good soundtrack. I DEFIENETLY NOT SUGGEST IT TO BUY AT FULL PRICE. The game was rush realeased and it visible on the game aswell. I only suggest to you at a discount, because of the lack of gameplay. But remember 2 hours of gameplay. Question yourself: Does it worth this much? Well I'll put my rapier away. Good hunting huntresses!

  Well, I [b] Love [/b] RWBY as you can probably tell, This game for an early access is great, what bothers me the most is the Chat bug, which makes it disappear at some random point and can only be fixes by reconnecting which causes reset of level and or progress. It's really disappointing. Other than that, few other movement bugs (for example, blake floats after using her ranged attack) I would also like to say I'd like to see: *Allies HP bars *More levels (it can't be repetitive) *More Teams (Would love to see Nora and Pyrrah for example.) *A Versus Mode could be really nice *Practice Arena *Story Mode Thank you guys for this wonderful game, I love it.

  This game was at its peak after the first combat update, since then it has been a steady downhill slide of bad decisions from drastically reducing the quality of the character models, to locking off actual gameplay updates behind a paywall under the guise of DLC. It is truly a shame to see a game that started as a fine (though very simple) homage to a wonderful show be ruined by a clueless developer.

  Before you start commenting and hate my review due to fanboyism. I for one, have been a fan of RWBY since day one. As much as I love the RWBY franchise, I can't recommend this game to anyone except Anime fans, RWBY fans and players that are well into action or Hack n Slash games for that matter. Let's start off with the cons: - Replayability is garbage - Difficulty is alright (in terms of fair play) but somewhat broken (in terms of balance) - Not enough content (Yes there's 3 game modes but it won't last you too long. What I mean by this is the execution of game modes aren't that good and replayability for them is garbage and repitetitive) - Combat can get repetitive for a while after playing it - New character designs look like clay and it doesn't suit the characters of RWBY (Older ones were better) - Low budget and production values are bad (especially the change in character designs.) - Story is meh - Buttons and combos are very basic (A five year old can master at combos and that's a fact.) - Main antagonist is bad - Game updates (It's lacking new things. I presume RT have abadoned this game.) - Occasionally the bugs can freeze the game especially if it's your first time playing it - Incomplete game Moving onto the indifferences: - Game is fun for a while but falls short - Graphics are nice but the character/monster designs prevent from being a pro - Maxing characters levels will take you a long time if you go to prestige (Whatever it's called) - Music is good but I feel there are times where it doesn't match the atmosphere (Except for 1-2 songs) Moving onto the pros: - RWBY Characters are awesome as always - Level designs are nice to look at despite budget issues - Multiplayer is fun to play (Especially with friends) - Skill set is basic and very easy to understand - RWBY vibes Overall rating: 3.5/10 Worth the price? Nope I'd wait for a sale that's over 50% off. If you can't find it at that discount don't bother with the game. Conclusion: Whilst I love the RWBY franchise and I am a big fan, this game was a dissappointment to me and left a foul taste to my mouth. I wanted to love it but I couldn't. I get a feeling that the game's issues such as abandoning the game and leaving it as incomplete will last a while. I hope RT comes back to this game and fixes the issues. If it does, I hope it has more content, characters and makes the game run better.

  I feel like I'll probably be crucified by the more zealous RWBY fans for writing a negative review, but here I go anyway. To preface, Grimm Eclipse is not a terrible game, but what it is is a game that feels rushed out and amateurish. If nothing else, it feels like it needed a lot more work before the developers should have, in good faith, called it a "release version". But they're calling this the final product, and I'm going to review it as such. You might be looking up at my time played and thinking "that doesn't seem like a lot", and you're right, but what should alarm you is that that's all the time it took me to play through the campaign twice over, along with random quickplay sessions of random levels here and there. The campaign is short. Really short. And that's an even bigger problem considering that that's the only mode that's available right now. Horde/Survival mode should have been a part of the release package, and without it the game feels incredibly content-bare. But that might be as least somewhat excusable if the campaign was at least good. The "story" itself is a meaningless excuse for the team to be out and about killing grimm, with precisely zero interesting developments over the course of the game. Things get repetitive very quickly, as the only variety comes in the form of the occasional new type of enemy, because you can count on one hand the number of scenarios that aren't just "kill grimm in this area to move to the next area". The level design itself is pretty awful, too, with invisible walls plastered everywhere, and an incredibly low amount of effort put into hiding the "secret" artifacts. But despite all those invisible walls, we still managed to accidentally clip ourselves into walls way more times than should be acceptable. And don't get me started on the level transitions, which have you sit through either ~30 seconds of monologue or have you watch some ridiculously poorly-made "cutscene". The combat, even if relatively simple, is fun for the most part, but it does have some very questionable design decisions. For starters, all four characters' "ultra" abilities are just slight variations on the same thing: a big area of effect attack, the character-specific upgrades for which are really boring modifiers like "also stuns" or "also knocks enemies away". Team attacks are a great concept that misses the mark in its execution. Your teammate stuns an enemy, and if you're paying attention, you can follow up for a team attack for massive damage! Except that you don't actually have to be paying attention at all considering just mashing the team attack button all the time has no penalty. At that point it might as well just be automatic. The ranged attacks are also really clunky and almost seem tacked on. Instead of being able to weave melee attacks and ranged attacks together in a flurry of action like you might see on the show, in Grimm Eclipse, trying to quickly switch between the two ends up being horribly ineffective. This is mostly due to the fact that only the third attack of the ranged attack string is worth a damn. Unless you're finishing off an extremely low health enemy, or just trying to continue your combo as you move between enemies, single-shot ranged attacking is pretty much useless. You have to commit to doing the full string or nothing, and that doesn't feel smooth. (As a much more personal gripe, I was really disappointed with Blake's entire moveset in this game. Instead of using shadow clones to deceive or distract enemies, they only show up briefly during certain attacks to stab the enemy and then disappear. At best you get to leave a shadow clone behind for a second before it explodes. And wasn't it awesome how Blake could use her sword as a sickle and chain in the show? Well, you can't do that in Grimm Eclipse, so forget about it.) All this topped off with a stunning lack of polish or seemingly much attention to detail at all. Walk speed is out of synch with the walking animations. Picking up items has no animation and just puts an icon over your character's head to signify that they're "carrying" it. No animation for picking up a downed teammate. No animation for pushing buttons. Enemies have absolutely no way to deal with players getting on top of things and will just sit and growl below you. The spike traps in the final level are the biggest joke of an environmental hazard that I've ever seen, and will annoy you to death with their non-stop beeping before you ever actually die to one. I could go on and on. At the end of the day, if this wasn't a RWBY game, nobody would give a damn about it. The overall quality is so amateurish, that if you showed me it without context and told me it was an unofficial fan game, I would have believed that without a second thought. As a fan of the show, it breaks my heart to see the official game produced by such a clearly inexperienced development team. It bears repeating that, at the very least, the game needed substantially more time in early access before being pushed to release. But here we are. Shame.

  As if paying $20 dollars for this contentless game wasn't enough. To start, this game is plainly made to be a cash cow for Rooster Teeth. It is an effortless and an uninspired game with little to no innovation other than playing as your favorite characters from the RWBY show. I personally am a fan of the show, but now I question Rooster Teeth and how they would allow this unfinished game to be released with the RWBY name on it. If the RWBY name wasn't on it, this game would for sure be recieving negative reviews due to pricing and lack of content. To put into perspective, if you buy this game full price at $20 dollars, you get: ~ 10 Story Missions ~ 3 Hoard Mode Levels ~ 4 Characters to play as And for an extra $4.99 you recieve ~ 4 More characters (Team JNPR) And new DLC is being made, but not to further improve the lackluster combat or add more content to the game, but it's COSTUMES for the characters you have and costumes for the DLC characters. There are four new packs being released on Steam soon, priced at $1.99 which give 4 costumes each which add virtually nothing to the game other than to take money out of your pocket and grab the suckers who will buy anything with the RWBY name on it. For a total of about $33 with all the DLC, this game simply is NOT worth your money and the content is not worth your time. Buy a different game than this one, there are many more games more deserving of that $33 dollars and this game is not one of them.
