A parallel universe in Warhammer Fantasy where the Empire of Man and the Skaven maintained peace for several hundred years; only for the Skaven to suddenly attack with overwhelming numbers and devastating warpstone weaponry. In response, the Empire fought back using refined warpstone armaments and powerful exoskeleton battle suits. 9/10 — would play again.

Do you like tight turn-based action, squad management, (almost) perfect information, incremental upgrades, characters who have visuals, skill trees and upgrades that give them the awesome personality the developers didn't have time to create, the map/room system from 'Slay the Spire' and the rest system from 'The Darkest Dungeon' (RIP Wayne June)? Then you will certainly like Shardpunk! How this slipped under the radar is beyond me! I was looking for a good XCOM-like for ages, positively ages, and got this on a whim for like £3 on sale or something. Genuinely one of the best little games I've bought on Steam. To say that it's 2D XCOM is accurate enough, but the games characters and abilities and it's short, focused campaign carries it way beyond what a standard clone of that turn-based grand master would aspire to be. Normal difficulty is very manageable, I finished it on Ironman my first attempt (but I AM a bit of a turn-based fiend so I can imagine it would be a more significant challenge for someone unfamiliar with the genre) and I am looking forward to getting a max difficulty Ironman run done with a whole new team of characters that I unlocked during my first playthrough. In short, it's a game that knows what it is, does what it set out to do, doesn't get in it's own way with redundant systems and just lets you get to it. Highly recommend! 9/10

Imagine “pixel art, steampunk X-COM vs. the Skaven” and you have a pretty good idea of what Shardpunk is like. You lead a team of survivors escorting a (thankfully helpful) drone across a war-torn cityscape in the hopes of turning the tide of battle against the attacking Vermin, who have overrun the city. The game has a strong pixel art style, with characters having distinct colours and silhouettes, making them easily to differentiate. There is also plenty of visual variety among the Vermin, making it easy to prioritise key targets. It would have been nice to have more environment variety, although the few present are distinct from each other. The soundscape is good as well, only really missing more variety in music. The UI is, for the most part, is pretty good. I do wish it was easier to tell which character you have selected at the moment, both from a UI and graphic perspective. There was more than one occasion where I thought I was moving one character, but instead I had another selected. Still, that was the only real gripe I had with the game's UI, the rest is clear and readable. Gameplay wise, you switch between battles, which are turn based, tactical fights over a square grid of cityscape, post-battle stays in a shelter where you can rest and recuperate, and a map view where you can select where you would like to go next. The map view gives the impression that this is a rogue-like, at least it initially did to me, but it's more about selecting what kind of mission/shelter you want. You are able to replay the mission you are on as often as you want, at least on normal difficulty, so you don’t need to scrap a game just because of one bad fight. You can refresh, try and again, and continue with your preferred team. The fights themselves are very well done, with each map offering unique tactical challenges. Each battle map also has special chests with upgrade material and upgrades for your drone, encouraging you to go for these side objectives instead of heading straight for the exit, at the risk of dealing with more enemies. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the battles, and the variety of character skills, environment, side objectives, and enemies kept each fight engaging until the very end. And each chapter (3 in total) has a unique climax which will further test your abilities. Overall, Shardpunk is an excellent take on the X-COM formula. And its relatively short length to complete a campaign, at only about 10 hours, means you do not need to commit as much time to it as you would for something like XCOM 2. A great tactical experience all round.

I bought this on sale and got 40+ hours out of this, which is refreshingly good value. The learning curve is frustrating at first, but trust me, STAY WITH IT. Stick with the characters you love, upgrade them, level them up strong, and like me you will have a solidly entertaining experience. I went from dreading each new level with my weak team, to being able to demolish every enemy until the final level that STILL provided a fun challenge. Two out of my four beloved party members died to save the world, and you know what? I'm okay with that. Then I hit New Game with a new set of characters, the gameplay is that fun. I don't care some say the gameplay is repetitive. It's cozy, it's comforting, and sometimes I just want to blast mutant rats (all the more funny because I am a Rat Mom myself). My favourite moments: reaching a bunker and making sure my party members get enough rest, destroying a whole pack of rats with traps and explosives and grenades, beating the last level Least favourite: The early levels, the realisation that some levels will keep sending you enemies so you cannot stay in one spot and hope for the best--you have to keep moving! Pro Tip: Always leave at least one companion on Overwatch!

Brilliant game. The art, the game loop, the impact of weaponry, everything about it has been honed to perfection. It's exactly what it says on the tin - XCOM tactical combat meets Darkest Dungeon stress/survival mechanics. Now I did finish my first run on normal (too afraid to try hard on such a long roguelike), which unfortunately took any desire for repeat runs, but I feel I got my fun out of this in the one run. The game ratchets up the tension as you go and the final chapter was just an insane slaughterhouse, I really don't think I could have held my own if I'd tried hard so glad I went with normal. Really looking forward to seeing what else this developer puts out.
