A review of your Grimstroke game

Sign in with Steam and pick a match: the coach reads the replay second by second and in a couple of minutes shows where the game slipped.

  • Every death and fight becomes a moment on the map: the fog of war as you saw it, and what the enemy saw that second.
  • Your pace against the Grimstroke benchmark: 366 GPM for an average player, 428 for a good one.
  • Timings against pros: they have Arcane Boots by minute 12, and the coach shows where you lose time.
  • Five-game homework the coach checks in your next review, plus a chat with the coach about the match.
