One Angry Gamer "Inspired by the SNES rendition of Secret of Mana (also known to the super-hardcore fans as Seiken Densetsu) Pixel Ferrets’ Secrets of Grindea is a cooperative throwback to the isometric action-RPG genre from the 16-bit and 32-bit era. The game has recently launched on Steam’s Early Access so that the developers can work with the gaming community to improve some of the core features and functions of the title."

We recently had a chance to talk with Vilya Svensson from Pixel Ferrets about their Early Access title, Secrets of Grindea. Recently Pierre-Yves had a chance to preview and write up an article about the game for our Better With a Partner series, and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Now we get a chance to discuss how Secrets of Grindea has evolved since its inception back in 2011. Vilya is the artist behind the backgrounds, UI, character portraits and more. For our last question, we are also briefly joined by the other two members of the team: Teddy Sjöström - developer, and Fred Ström - animator and creator of the character sprites.

Secrets of Grindea is an Action Adventure RPG that pretty much blew all my expectations out of the water. Currently within Early Access on Steam, it already supports a robust multiplayer, full controller support, numerous skills to choose from, all while being supported by a hilarious dialog and a fun story.
"Have you ever lamented the lack of carrying space you had in an RPG? Been forced to drop things you genuinely wanted to keep in order to stuff your latest loot into your sack? Well, be sad no more, dear fellow adventurer, for this is the game for you!"
This looks awesome, so old school
