    [​IMG]RockPaperShotgun spoke to Klei about Griftlands to find out a little more about it.

    Griftlands is a 'pirate sandbox', says Klei

    We haven't seen much of sci-fi RPG Griftlands [official site], apart from a short trailer featuring a drunk frog-man getting turned in by his space pal for a sweet bag o' cash. But developers Klei have a good track record with their cartoony games. So I annoyed them with some questions and got a few more details. As expected, it's a game of money-grubbing and turn-based battling, but it's also a world where characters will hold grudges against you, say the creators.

    Looking at the town-to-town traipsing and Cartoon Network-ish animation, you might be forgiven for thinking of viking RPG The Banner Saga. But it's not as cemented in its storyline, says Klei.

    "Griftlands is much less directed than Banner Saga," says Kevin Forbes, designer on the game. "It's more of a pirate/mercenary sandbox than a sequence of story battles. You are put into a simulated economy and set loose to make your fortune."
