Took a few runs initially to get my head around all the keywords and the way the negotiation system worked but after like 30 mins - 1hr it all made sense and I got hooked! Really nice flow to the gameplay and you can skip through the dialogue if youre not too interested in the story and just want to focus on the card mechanics if you want to. (but I ended up being interested in each characters stories anyway) Cant say yet what long term replayability looks like but I've found the 2 characters stories ive completed so far very enjoyable.

Griftlands is so much more than another deck-building game. KLEI added a unique story mode for each of the three playable characters, allowing you to complete quests and thereby making new friends or enemies. This works really well, and because there are lots of different choices to make in combination with random events, the replayability is very high. The combat is special as well, since the game is using separate decks for physical combat and "mental" combat to convince the opponent of your opinion in a discussion. Buffs and perks are visible as targets on the screen, allowing you to attack them as well. This takes some time to get used to, but once you do it's so much fun! Well done KLEI, you guys proved once again why you are one of my favorite developers!

I rarely feel like writing a review for a game, even if I loved it, but seeing the recent mixed reviews angered me enough to write one. This is a deep and highly polished deckbuilder with loads of different builds thanks to the two deck system. Comparing it to Slay the Spire or Monster Train is absolutely ridiculous. Sure, these are also deckbuilders, but they are focused solely on gameplay with just enough plot to justify their existence. This is a story driven game with dialogue and branching scenarios while still being a damn solid deck building game. Claiming the game is not replayable is wild - it has two game modes with the option to apply various rule modifiers, daily challenges and mod support with many mods expanding the gameplay readily available. There isn't any less content here than in other big deckbuilders, but even if there was it would easily make up for it with polish. If you're tired of story mode you can play brawl and focus on battling, but I still keep coming back to story mode because of each scenario having two branches, all quests having at least two solutions and the emergent gameplay based on the relationships you have with characters. I've spent thousands of hours playing deckbuilders, be it big names like StS or less known (and less good) ones like Roguebook, and Griftlands is up there with the best of the best.

After playing a couple deckbuilder games Griftlands is definitely my favourite. The gameplay is super fun and rewarding; the world is interesting and fun to explore and the characters storys definitely made the first few runs of each of them the most engaging, however I still love playing through the campaigns repeatedly and skip over most of the dialogue because the game is just that fun imo. For me this game had a ton of replay value and I would definitely recommend to anybody that enjoys deckbuilders. It's still worth the pricetag while it's on sale if you plan to just experience the characters storys as completing all 3 will take around 15-20 hours. 10/10

Griftlands is a game that's difficult to review. Its deckbuilding side isn't necessarily robust enough to give it a great deal of longevity, and the narrative elements are too sparse to stay engaging... but it's also one of the only fusions between those two elements I've seen before, and it provokes enough interest in a single playthru thru sheer concept novelty that I ultimately think it's worth investigating. While I didn't at any point feel like I was having the *best* experience in the genre I'd ever had, it certainly felt unique, and was compelling enough to keep me coming back to mess with the unique mechanics and run challenges even though I was mostly done with the narrative aspects. It's maybe worth noting that the sheer amount of playtime accrued, however, is proportional to the game's run length, which feels fairly bloated as it goes on. Overall would still recommend to anyone curious about the genre fusion, or if you like the aesthetic and want some kind of cool stories told with a unique roguelike orchestration.
