Nevergrind's gameplay is focused on fighting battles and completing quest objectives throughout four acts. When you first start out, you're just a recruit helping secure the perimeter of Edenburg. Your commander, Miranda Crossheart, sees your potential and keeps you busy with more difficult quests. This leads to your first boss encounter at Lanfeld Outpost, Chief Grimden. In a similar fashion, each act climaxes with a tough boss battle through which more of the game's story is unveiled to the player.
