Grid Force: Mask of the Goddess

Despite these issues, Grid Force delivers a successful genre mish-mash, with plenty of great action and deep role-playing mechanics. The multicultural influences make for an interesting world and while that hasn’t inspired much originality in terms of the plot there’s a large and colourful cast of characters to meet. Like most indie games, Grid Force has some rough edges, but its melting pot of ideas proves surprisingly tasty.
