He's about to open a restaurant, and is testing his recipes on strangers.įoolishly I choose a pickled talon from his menu and it does not agree with me. Another of the city's friendly slugfolk, named Rug, has a proposition. On the city map I trundle over toward one that seems easy, a package pickup, but an encounter stops me before I get there. It basically swaps the invisible dice rolls of attacks and manipulation for a hand of Slay the Spire.Īt a dive bar called the Grog n' Dog a friendly one-eyed slug person offers a range of jobs for bounty hunters like myself. At this year's PC Gaming Show they brought out a Griftlands with the same aesthetic, only now it was a narrative RPG where fights and speech checks were replaced by a card game. Not long after that Klei announced they'd jumped the gun on Griftlands, and were going to retool it before they showed it again. It was going to have an open world, factions, an economy, and procedural generation. ![]() When it was first shown during the PC Gaming Show in 2017it looked like a neat sci-fi RPG with a comic book art style and some turn-based, Final Fantasy combat. Griftlands is the new game from Klei, of Invisible Inc. But it's also a card game, so the consequence of being drunk is having a 'slurred speech' card in my negotiation deck and a 'tipsy' card in my battle deck. Griftlands is the kind of RPG where every action has consequences. My first mistake is eating the pickled talons. Honestly will probably just hold off for like a few hours and return to this because I honestly cannot decide.We lost an open-world Griftlands and gained a card game Griftlands being in EA kinda puts me off because I'm concerned there won't be enough content at the moment. Monster Train also looks fun and expands upon it.īasically I still haven't made a decision lol, all look great and looks like I can't go wrong with any of them. The cheapest price has been comparable to Griftlands (if it goes on sale this summer). Thanks for letting me know about the mod support for Slay the Spire, which is a huge factor in me considering getting it. has a 5 hour campaign that is centered around randomization and replay). I don't know if it's a limited campaign, but there is definitely some replayability (if not centered around this, considering their other game Invisible Inc. You definitely can't go wrong with Slay the Spire, they also released it on iOS in case you wanna spend less money and have an Iphone.Īctually to add on to Griftlands (I spent a good chunk of my night looking this game up lol), it actually is replayable since it's essentially a "choose your own adventure" sort of thing where you play different characters with distinct characteristics and backstory, which involves you interacting in the world in different ways. Seems promising though and considering it's still in early access, one can only hope for more to come. ![]() But then again I highly expect it to have less replayability because of the story part and I don't think I've seen anything about multiple difficulties (maybe I missed it, but can't recall). Griftlands looks very interesting to me too and I'll wishlist it, as it adds this diplomatic "fighting" aspect and the reviews say the story is suprisingly good for a deck builder. I might consider getting it on sale some time in the future. When I looked up Monster Train it seems like that game expanded on the fighting aspect, adding more character variety and multiple fights going on at once(?). The 4 characters have widely different sets of cards and strategies to them like strength stacking, poison decks, lightning orb spawning or stance switching and all of them are pretty enjoyable and fleshed out imo. There's also a wide variety of community made mods (in form of more unique characters and areas) available which is another big plus for me. It has 4 characters and 21 difficulty levels, which makes it extremely playable (I'm currently sitting at 400h). Slay the Spire is an easy-to-learn hard-to-master game I'd say. ![]() I only own Slay the Spire and it's the only steam game where I have 100% achievements, so my view here is obviously gonna be biased.
