Released originally on PC RWBY: Grimm Eclipse is a game originally developed by Jordan Scott and picked up by Rooster Teeth, becoming the first project under Rooster Teeth Games. It was released on Steam Early Access December 1st, 2016 and launched officially on July 5th, 2016 on PC and on October 13th on Mac.

Couldn't find the launch trailer on Youtube, but it's on Facebook.

Now that's strange, the game was definitely available on the EU PSN on December 6 for 24 euros, I saw it myself but did not buy it.

Rooster Teeth Games did not make any announcement which was strange but the game was on PSN for several days for sure.

I'm really interested because I love the show but the Q1 is already full, that will have to wait for some sale later I guess

SIEE accidentally pushed it onto the store and took it down the next day.

I saw this game for the first time a few weeks ago and am definitely interested. Probably pick it up day one barring performance issues.

Is it good?

1 month is far too little time to be out of early access

It's been out of early access since July

 

[BigEmil]

So roughly £20 for this? This used to sell for cheaper on steam in early access as far as I remember, so I think I'll wait for a sale for this eventually

Shit didn't know Rooster Teeth got into gaming.

This show is pretty cool. I think it's animated by the guy that made Dead Fantasy.

It was Monty Oum's pet project, yes. Unfortunately he passed away.

Nice to see the game is getting a console release.

It drastically improves in Vol. 3 both in writing and animation.

Will the game feature Zwei as a weapon, though?

 

[Squire]

Duuude, what? Might just grab this day one. Just started watching the show this week and I just finished volume 3 last night. RWBY is awesome.

Blake is Best Girl

This part is absolutely false. After Monty died, the action took a dip in quality from which it hasn't really recovered.

Disagree. The action scenes in volume 3 are easily the best choreography on the show up to that point. Much better composed and easier to follow than in the first two volumes.

 

[Flandy]

I thought the PC version was fairly disappointing at launch. Definitely look at impressions and reviews before jumping in

Spoiler

still salty they replaced the original show character models with the current ones

 

[Zero-ELEC]

The choreography in Volume 3 is okay, but it doesn't reach the highs of the previous volumes, and you can kinda start seeing the seams of what was originally animated/choreographed by Monty and what wasn't. Monty's style was unmistakable with steady shots where you could see the reaction and hit in the same frame, reminiscent of a martial arts movie/HK Jackie Chan flick.

Unfortunately Volume 4's initial choreography wasn't great but the recent fight with

Crow

makes me believe that they were having problems adapting to the new engine/program and that we can expect better action scenes from here on out.

All in all, it's a neat show tho.

 

[capylikesgames]

Will the console version have split-screen? Pretty sure the PC version doesn't have it, though I can't say for sure. It seems like it'd be a nice addition.

Ruby x Weiss & Yang x Blake errey day! 😘

 

[Rated-G]

I'm guessing Team JNPR will be DLC then? Didn't see them in the trailer. But agreed, Blake is best girl.

Spoiler

Until Nora is playable.

 

[Squire]

In a perfect world we would get Winter.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Does this have online co-op?

Spoiler

Pyrrha best girl

 

[Jaguar Victory]

I bought it. Pretty cool if you're a RWBY fan. I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet but it's pretty straight forward and simple, like the show.
