Grissan is a cowboy that seems a hybrid between Chuck Norris and Roland Deschain from The Dark Tower Series. Like Roland, in fact, our Grissan travels through a land populated by mutants and zombies. A ghost warns Grissan that an evil creatures, the Deity, wants him dead. So our hero starts his hunt.
I warn you that this game is an exaggerate parody with strong language and some politically incorrect situations: for example Grissan is a violent badass that heals sniffing "magic marching powder". The complete adventure lasts for about one hour.

Grissan is a short game that has more in common with the choose-your-own-adventure games than to rpgs: this is a series of
battles interspersed with the occasional dialogue and choice, for
example in some parts we can choose to trade with some vendor or decide
which path Grissan will take to reach Deity. In some cases it's possible
to fight more battles for extra loot, but there are no experience
points nor levels, and Grissan will upgrade his stats during some
specific points (like when finding some steroids). It's a short and
peculiar game.
Random Fact: Grissan uses a single map, and everything happens on battle backgrounds, including all the dialogues. We only see Grissan's and the other people faces in the portraits, but the visual is always in first person. Despite this, the use of various sprites, animations and sounds really makes the game more dynamic.
Final Verdict: Grissan is not a classic or even game that can be taken seriously, it's cheesy, has many typos and even the name and title is often mispelled during the game. Despite this it's still and enjoyable parody with some funny moments.
