Griftlands

About

Griftlands mixes deck-building with rogue-like progression in a gritty sci-fi setting. You play as one of three characters navigating a fractured world through combat, dialogue, and resource management. Each run unfolds across shifting maps where choices matter, allying with factions, completing missions, or upgrading your card pool all carry risks. The turn-based battles emphasize tactical card combos, while permadeath ensures every loss reshapes your approach. The game stands out for its three distinct character arcs. Sal, Rook, and Smith each have tailored playstyles, story beats, and environments to explore, from neon-lit cities to desolate wastelands. Klei’s signature blend of systems-driven design lets you adapt strategies endlessly, though the steep difficulty curve might test patience. With 2020 launch dates across PC and consoles, it’s a title that rewards persistence, and a love for rebuilding your deck after inevitable failures.
