Like how my first playthrough with the first character ended when I died to the final boss after 7 hours, 15 minutes. Less cool is how all these RPG/Visual Novel elements interact with, you know, a roguelike deckbuilder. So you have mechs, bioweapons, ancient tech, and post-apoc Thunderdome elements in this gumbo soup of a setting. Most of the citizens worship Hesh, an inscrutable Cthulhu-esque monster in the deep ocean. It takes place on a remote, swamp-like planet populated by the descendants of a spacefaring civilization that… stopped sparefaring. And speaking of backstory, the game’s lore is extremely elaborate and interesting. The three characters you can pick from each have an elaborate backstory and encounter numerous choices throughout the game.
One of the central hooks is that Griftlands is a roguelike deckbuilding RPG. So what’s the issue with Griftlands? The complication is just time-consuming. Oxygen Not Included is a gem of a colony sim, and Don’t Starve is one of those genre classics that seems simple at first, but quickly demonstrates how deep the rabbit hole goes. It represents depth and complex systems and a high skill ceiling. In some circumstances, overcomplication can be good news. Dialog is actually pretty good across the board. And in typical Klei fashion, it overcomplicates everything. Griftlands is Klei’s entry into the roguelike deckbuilder genre.
