What is Shardpunk?

In this turn-based tactics game, you lead a survivor crew across grid-based levels in three districts of the steampunk Capitol after a rat horde breaches its walls. You fight or outrun enemies, scavenge supplies, and manage the crew's equipment and resources at bunkers.

For you if...

  • +you prefer tactical escapes over clearing every enemy
  • +you enjoy making decisions about scarce supplies and crew survival
  • +you like pixel art and Victorian steampunk settings

Not for you if...

  • −you want real-time combat instead of turn-based tactics
  • −you want unlimited time to explore each level
  • −you dislike managing equipment, rations, and survivor health
