#Griftlands and code

But be forewarned: bosses have to be fought physically. Though Griftlands isn’t a role-playing game, it occasionally feels like one as I’m often asked to decide whether to intimidate a guy with my words or with my literal weapons. I prefer battles (which are simpler) but also find myself negotiating more than fighting.

But you can play nice and talk your way out of sticky situations. You’re not simply fighting a series of battles, a la Slay the Spire, though you could of course take an aggressive route. Besides the more typical “Battle” deck, you can build a “Negotiation” deck. Griftlands features not one but two decks of cards.

In between quests, limited-time opportunities may appear: snag a free item, get healed, etc. How often can you say that about a much-awaited title? Make friends by buying them drinks or helping with a quest. Now, all it needed was a Switch port, so I could play in bed! Well, Klei Entertainment delivered it all much sooner than expected and the game did not disappoint one bit. And though not unique, Griftlands‘ two-deck system also intrigued me. One unique feature-a relationship system-set it apart from other deckbuilding games. Those elements alone sold me on Griftlands’s concept, but the PC demo I played last year promised even more.
