Griftlands: 'Perks' Update Now Available!

This update brings big changes to the game's difficulty curve, and a bunch of new systems and content. Difficulty overhaul:

The default prestige level has been made more difficult, both in combat and negotiations. The prestige track has been made shorter and steeper. We combined a lot of the old prestige levels to make going up a level in prestige feel more impactful. Each step up the ladder should feel meaningfully harder than the last!
Mutators and custom card pool selections have been moved to a custom game mode, to provide a consistent challenge.
We've also added a new low-difficulty story mode, for when you just want to explore the choices in the characters' stories.

Perks and Grifts:

Perks are special unlockable skills that you can equip at the start of a run. You unlock perks by spending points that you earn by completing Grifts as you play the game. You can unlock up to 3 perk slots to use at a time, and there are 34 perks to unlock, split over 5 tiers.

Defensive Cards:

We've added a bunch of new defensive cards for Rook and Sal, rounding out their capabilities and supporting more cautious playing styles.

New Characters:

New promoted variants of the Laborer and Jakes Runner are waiting for you in prestige level 1.

New Daily Run Type:

A new daily run type has been added to the pool: Protection. See if you can help a wounded ally survive a series of tough fights. This daily will be available every three days.

Main UI Revamp:

The main UI bar has been redesigned to give you easier access to all of the information about your current run. You can see your perks, grafts, boons, banes, mutators, and relationships all in one place.

In addition, there are a lot of general fixes and balance changes.

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.

At this stage of development you can play as Sal or Rook, with a third character and campaign in development. Sal is an adventurer out for profit and revenge. Rook is an aging spy working his own agenda. Expect regular updates, including new cards, quests and characters as we work on the game with community feedback!

Battle Challenging Bosses

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

Build a Team - or Buy One!

Master Hundreds of Cards

Decisions Matter

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.

Playing Politics For Keeps

Each character has a factional allegiance and an opinion of you. Play politics between rivals, and try to capture the most powerful social boons. But watch out -- doublecross the wrong person, and you'll be subject to their bane!

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.
