As the smoke clears from E3 a few games I missed are becoming a bit more visible and I learned about one today from Klei Entertainment. Griftlands is a beautiful 2D RPG that looks to blend up elements of Borderlands, Banner Saga and old school RPG's like Final Fantasy to build an interesting.. rogue-like? I can't tell entirely if the game is a rogue-like or it's a standard story based RPG where you can choose a different starting character like Dragon Age: Origins.
Jim Guthrie is doing the music for Griftlands kicking my interest in it up a notch or two. Speaking of the music if Jim... if you are a fan and interested in getting more of his music in a nifty Collectors package he is gearing up to release a Cassette Box Sampler of 7 of his classic albums Sword & Sworcery, Indie Game: The Movie and some of his own Indie rock albums such as "Takes Time." If you are interested you can pre-order the sampler below on Bandcamp.

Griftlands is scheduled to launch early 2018 and i'm curious to hear what you think about it in the comments!

I can't tell much from the trailer other than this looks beautiful. We'll have to keep an eye on this one!
It looks like it might be interesting, but like Adam said, there's not much to tell about the game from the trailer. I can see the Borderlands similarity.
I've played Don't Starve a bit, still kind of want to. They released another expansion for it that I haven't tried (it's at sea).
I don't see Borderlands or Banner Saga, but it does look like an interesting, beautiful, and hopefully innovative RPG. Love that Klei art!
> I don't see Borderlands
I see a few things that sort of remind me of Borderlands but mainly it's the dystopian treasure hunter vibe and some of the art just reminds me of it slightly like:
1. Trailer timecode: 0:12

> Banner Saga
Obviously there are not on parity with each other, but the overall style and such just kind of brings me to think of it. A few of the characters I saw in the trailer sort of reminded me of the people with horns in Banner Saga. Again not a one to one, just a thought I had while I watched it.

I like the Klei art too!
