    In the end, Grit & Valor – 1949 proves to be a good example of what you would want from a modern roguelike with a dieselpunk flair: fast-paced, challenging runs for in between, but enough depth for hours of gameplay. It’s a game that proves sometimes it’s enough to combine familiar mechanics with a clear aesthetic concept and a lot of playful subtlety to create something enjoyable.

    Grit and Valor is an admirable effort for the underserved, if incredibly niche, console RTS market. Unit customization and teambuilding grabbed my attention more than the moment-to-moment action itself, though some diehards may chalk that up to traditional genre conventions. If you’re a fan of the roguelite formula and willing to dabble in alternate gameplay types, this is certainly worth a look.
