Griftlands

One of my all time favorite card battlers. Even disregarding how much I love the idea of a card based debate, the game is just fun, the characters are great, and the story and world is phenomenal.

Basically Slay the Spire style card game mechanics but applied to a more RPG type game. It can get a bit repetitive, but with the 3 different characters/stories it works out. It's a bit dialogue heavy, but that's easily skippable. Overall great game.

This underrated gem is a very good deckbuilder, and its minor flaws are more than compensated for by its charm and quirky innovations. At its core, GL is a deckbuilder inspired by Slay the Spire -- you gather (and try to remove) cards by travelling on a limited map-like domain from card-battle to card-battle with random events and merchant stops in-between. There are three different "classes" (main protagonists) whose individual mechanics and decks work differently from each other, one of which (the starting figure Sal) is considerably more straightforward than the others. GL differs from StS and others like it in that GL's classes each have *two* decks for two types of card battles. The two types of battles are different enough to warrant the double-mechanic, even if they are both similar enough to be familiar. They use two separate resources for hit-points -- kinetic battles using health and negotiations using resolve. Where StS is more focussed and has a slightly more elaborate card-building system, GL is broader and more varied. While both GL and StS (and others like it) rely on procedurally generated encounters, GL attempts to embed these in an overarching narrative structure. This works splendidly for the first run or two. In some ways, one could argue that GL and Hades had similar takes on roguelites and narration. But unlike both Hades and StS, GL does not succeed in making the roguelite appeal to deckbuilding -- while the narrative structure and storytelling is congruent to the battles and struggles of Hades' protagonist Zagreus, and the utter lack of narrative makes the repetition of the "characters" of StS moot, GL doesn't have enough variety and narration to make each more-or-less identical run different, and its tiny little bonuses between runs doesn't feel very roguelike. So despite being a fairly mediocre roguelite, GL is an excellent and engaging deckbuilder with some beautiful art and decent writing. Its deckbuilding aspects are unique enough to warrant multiple playthroughs of varying difficulties. I can highly recommend it. My only dissapointment comes in its lack of expansions or DLC -- this excellent game would profit greatly from additional protagonists or campaigns. I doubt any of these are planned, but I do hope they are!

A really fun, funny and deep deck builder. There's basically nothing not to like!

wish they'd make a sequel
