The story in *Griftlands* is a standout feature, praised for its engaging narrative and character development, which adds depth to the gameplay. Players appreciate the unique storylines for each of the three characters, with choices that significantly impact the plot and relationships with NPCs, creating a rich, immersive experience. However, some reviewers note that the story can become repetitive after multiple playthroughs, and while the initial experience is compelling, the replayability may be limited once the main arcs are completed.
“Unusual gameplay mechanics, unique storytelling narrative by combining rogue-lite card game mechanics and 2 different combat scenarios that we can play with 3 sets of different cards unique to that character, absolute masterpiece of a card game.”
“The world/story/characters are compelling and I don't say so lightly.”
“The story and unique mechanics/ideas hooked me at the start and the core gameplay kept me here long term.”
“The story and world building sets up so much but does not delve that deep into it.”
“Good gameplay, poor story!”
“The story elements were not that compelling to justify another playthrough and it feels they will get in the way of the battles.”
