Loading...Grandia Xtreme
Grandia Xtreme shares many of the features of previous Grandia titles, but is more of a spinoff than a sequel. The game is far more combat focused, and more of a dungeon crawler than traditional RPG. The visuals and music is great, but the story and character development aren’t as flashed out.
