"It's competent enough, but it doesn't sing: I plumped for a strategy that seemed pretty obvious, and it served me well right to the very end. While the game has good ideas separating its conversational and gun-toting card battles, Matt Cox thought neither quite hit the mark that Monster Train or Slay The Spire did. I really enjoyed Griftlands, though it's hard not to compare it to other excellent deckbuilding roguelikes. It's full release comes with the conclusion to Smith's story, and the devs say they're working on translating into more languages (currently it's playable in English and Chinese). The game launched in early access on the Epic Games Store in 2019, before arriving (again, in early access) on Steam around this time last year. While each run has a main plot, you'll discover random events, new characters, items and cards each time you play. Each character has unique cards they can collect, and individual storylines that follow their journeys through the Griftlands. In Griftlands, you play as either Sal the adventurer, Rook the spy, or Smith the "colossal walking disaster". It's a brilliant deckbuilding roguelite that pits you against enemies in battles of the mind (to negotiate tough situations) or battles of the, uh, body (shooty shooty), as you follow the stories of three characters on a dingy sci-fi world.

I like the world and the writing, and I especially like how it can click its heels and conjure up a story – as long as you don’t get bogged down in overlong battles. Most quests have an option that allows you to negotiate to either avoid combat entirely or give the Hero a powerful advantage in an upcoming fight.
