About
Gather your team, scavenge for resources, fight enemy hordes, and seek shelter to live another day in this mix of turn-based tactical strategy with RPG, survival, and resource management.
In Shardpunk you’ve already lost. The Rat Swarm has breached the walls of The Capitol and flooded the city with its vermin horde. Now you need to run for your life while saving as many people and pieces of equipment as possible.
Put together a crew of survivors and use a range of steampunk weapons and bots to scavenge for resources, slow down the horde, and reach safety. Push through three districts with progressively more vicious enemies, rising emergency levels, and supplies that dry up like blood from a knife wound.
Keep on moving and use every skill and item at your disposal to reach the safety of fusion core-operated bunkers. From battle tactics to the most difficult decisions on who should receive the last medpack or rations, you’ll need to take charge and (hopefully) live with its consequences.
Features
- Turn-based tactical battles with the hard choices made at the bunker.
- Grid-based levels that are open for exploration and full of tactical possibilities while you run from the endless hordes of rats.
- A motley crew of characters to build your team, each one with unique abilities, equipment, perks, and shortcomings that affect their mates.
- Steampunk arsenal and technologies to use in battle that also requires mending and cooling, so they don’t backfire on you in the middle of the fight.
- Variety of resources to scavenge, upgrades to unlock, and equipment to craft.
- Detailed pixel art visuals that set the Victorian mood and feast your eyes with fusion-core explosions.
