The majority of the player’s time in-game is spent on the tactical combat stages. Additionally, the game is a roguelite and features unlocks and a progression map that should be familiar to anyone who has played a game in that sub-genre. The tactical combat is very reminiscent of the X-Com games, despite its twists and the camping between stages is very similar to the camping featured in Darkest Dungeon. Shardpunk: Verminfall is described by their developer as “ XCOM meets Darkest Dungeon” and frankly this description is pretty apt.
I have no further connection to the game designers or publisher.
For disclosure, I was given a playtester credit for the game due to feedback I gave regarding bugs and user interface features. This article is based on 40 hours of gameplay with a press version of the game. Leading them through a steampunk city, they are forced to fight to survive, scavenging resources and food in order to fight their way to the palace and, hopefully, victory. Shardpunk: Verminfall (Steam Link), the first release of developer Clockwork Pie, is a tactical turn-based role-playing game where players control a team of desperate survivors in the process of attempting to escape from a city overrun by humanoid vermin invaders.
