Griftlands Launching June 4th For Switch

Developer Klei Entertainment has announced the release date for Griftlands on Switch.

This sci-fi deck building roguelike will be launching on Switch and other consoles on June 4th, although it will be coming to PC first on June 1st. For a recap on what the game is all about, you can watch its initial Switch trailer below, along with some additional details via its store page:

Griftlands is a deck-building rogue-like where you fight and negotiate your way through a broken-down sci-fi world. Every decision is important, be it the jobs you take, the friends you make, or the cards you collect. Death comes quickly, but each play offers new situations and strategies to explore.

 

Outwit or Overpower

Overcome obstacles with the power of your fists – or your words. You’ll need to pick your cards and play them right if you’re going to survive. Build two decks simultaneously, balancing the tradeoffs of each.

Learn from each attempted run through the various stories of the Griftlands. Encounter different combinations of enemies, quests, and events every time you play. Your fate is determined by your choices, and by fate.

 

Explore A Broken-Down Sci-Fi World

The world of Havaria is a harsh place, full of harsher denizens. Explore lush, hand-illustrated environments full of people who want to kill you.

 

Battle Challenging Bosses

Test your combat decks against powerful foes with unique mechanics and attacks.

 

Build a Team – or Buy One!

Hire mercenaries, find pets, or impose upon your friends to accomplish your goals.

 

Master Hundreds of Cards

Each character has unique negotiation and combat decks to draft from. Get powerful item cards from fallen foes, or as rewards.
