Genre:
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. Play as Sal, Rook, or Smith. Three unique character campaigns with their own specialized decks, abilities and maps to explore. Sal is an adventurer out for profit and revenge. Rook is an aging spy working his own agenda. Smith is an idle loafer who might just save the world. Each playable character's story takes place in a unique environment, with different factions and locations to explore and exploit.
On a lawless science-fiction world caught in a struggle between a domineering Admiralty, powerful guilds, religious cults, and criminal syndicates, three very different mercenaries chase fame, fortune, and the settling of scores. Sal, a former indentured servant, arrives in the coastal city of Murder Bay hunting the criminal who once sold her into slavery. The secretive spy Rook slips into a remote, contested bog on a mission to seize a mysterious device buried beneath it. The disowned vagrant Smith returns to his ancestral home after his parents' death, drawn into a clandestine plot surrounding a colossal creature and the cult that reveres it. Each protagonist must talk, bargain, and fight their way through a web of shifting alliances where every deal carries a price.

Meteorfall is a deck-building roguelike. You'll choose your class from one of four unique adventurers, and then set out with a deck consisting of some basic attack cards. During the course of your adventure, you'll be presented with the opportunity to add powerful new cards to your deck. No adventure would be complete without slaying a few monsters that get in your way. In battle, you'll draw cards from your ability deck. Each time you draw a card, you'll be able to swipe right to play the card, or swipe left to skip a turn and regain some stamina. Between battles, you'll venture through a variety of locations, represented by an encounter deck. You'll encounter blacksmiths that can upgrade your cards, temples that can help you optimize your deck, and mysterious characters that will make you all sorts of bargains. The tactical strategy of combat micro-decisions mixed with the strategic element of deck-building provides a compelling and deep gameplay experience. As with all roguelikes, death is permanent. You'll earn some gems that you can use to unlock new cards, but it's back to the drawing board after that. Start out with a new adventurer and set out on your quest once again. The good news is that Meteorfall is different every time you play - you'll encounter different locations, different enemies, and different quests. Part of the challenge is adapting to the challenging situations the game puts you in, given the cards available. Good luck hero - it's time to end the Uberlich's cycle of destruction!
