The deck you can use and build differs per character (Sal, Rook, Smith) so that definitely keeps the gameplay interesting! Talking is so very important, so do not underestimate this! Along the way, you’ll also be able to hire mercenaries, take along pets, or seek help from friends. Negotiations take more effort and are more difficult, so opting for a quicker battle will probably be your go-to move, but I learned the hard way that this is not always the best decision. You’ll have to use certain cards to talk to your opponent and make them see that your way is the right way. But simultaneously, you’ll also have another deck to build! Yes, negotiation also works through cards, and this is where things get a little more complicated. That’s right, you can use combat or negotiation tactics to overpower your enemies in Griftlands! The combat deck is pretty standard with your usual buffs and debuffs, offensive and defensive cards, etc. You see, you can choose to use your bare strength, or you can take the high road and try to convince your opponents with the power of your words. Combat and negotiation | A deck-builder usually implies cards are used for combat.
This is not a bad thing here, since there is an actual story with sides to follow, so it’s all good! Now, there is also a soundtrack when you’re blazing through your runs. I never missed any voices, but get ready for a lot of reading because there is quite some dialogue.

You see, the world of Havaria is a harsh place, full of harsher denizens, and they portraited this perfectly. It’s a very muddy, dirty look that fits in with the story, and the overall feeling of the game. I pretty much loved everything about the art style. Graphics | Griftlands is as much fun to look at as it is to play, honestly.I loved that each of these playable character’s stories took place in a different setting with various locations to explore and exploit. There are a ton of conversations, a lot to discover, and three characters that each have their own path to follow. Griftlands uses a different approach as it offers a big elaborate story for you to follow. Focus on story | Most roguelike deck-builders keep a heavy focus on the combat aspect of the game, so a story usually lacks some depth.

This game is also available on Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. We played Griftlands for 7 hours on Xbox Series X. You can level up prestige-wise, and unlock new perks so you get stronger every run. Along the way, you unlock new cards, people, bosses, grafts, grifts, and so on.
You grow every run, and no two runs are ever the same. In Griftlands you earn cards in battle and negotiations, lose the run, and start all over again. About a month ago, the final version of Griftlands was released, so we thought it was time to take a look at this highly anticipated game. What was initially going to be an open-world game, turned into a card-based type of game and went into Early Access that same year. First announced at E3 in 2017, the developers jumped the gun a bit and had to reannounce their game two years later, again at E3. LifeisXbox’s Griftlands review | I’ve been reviewing quite a few (roguelike) deck-building games lately, and I am definitely not mad about that! After taking a look at the Belgian Roguebook, and trying out the popular Monster Train (both labeled with the LifeisXbox Recommended label!), it is time for a title by Klei Entertainment.
