It's a single-player roguelike deck building game with an emergent narrative, according to Klei. Is Griftlands a collectible card game like Hearthstone or Magic: The Gathering?

Not that I was 100% on point, but Griftlands was rebooted-while still in development-as a deck-builder. Two years ago, when Klei Entertainment's Griftlands put out a debut trailer, I thought it was going to behave a bit more like a JRPG Hyper Light Drifter. When asked about the possibility of microtransactions, the developers responded, “There are no microtransactions.Boy did I guess that wrong.
