Griftlands

Griftlands follows three playable grifters—Sal, Rook, and Smith—in separate campaigns across the harsh sci-fi world of Havaria. Each has a distinct story, map, and set of character-specific mechanics. Take jobs, explore locations, and resolve encounters through turn-based combat or card-based negotiations. You can also hire mercenaries, enlist companions, and choose whether to spare or defeat opponents. Build separate decks for battle and negotiation by drafting cards and gaining upgrades and items. Your choices can affect relationships with characters and factions, bringing help or hostility in later encounters; runs also feature changing events and challenges.

In a rough sci-fi world, play three grifters through roguelite campaigns, using separate card decks to fight or negotiate.
