Shardpunk: Verminfall is a fun, exciting, and cool turn-based RPG that deserves way more attention than it is getting right now. After you read my thoughts on this game, I highly recommend that you check out the demo that is currently available for this game. I have played through it multiple times already and have had a great time doing so. As I write this, they have not revealed when the release date for the game will be. However, it is still listed as coming out in 2022, so it hopefully is not too far off.

You Already Lost The War

I like the idea of the story that Shardpunk: Verminfall is telling. The idea here is that this steampunk/Victorian era type world has already lost the big war it was having with these disgusting rats that have overrun everywhere that they go. Now all that is left for you to do is to survive and lead your group of survivors to a bunker that is safe. I am not exactly sure how story-driven the game will be, but as a premise, this is very cool.

The Stench Of Death!

The gameplay of Shardpunk: Verminfall is grid based, you are free to move around each area as you try and scavenge for supplies. One of the things that I get a real kick out of with this game is that supplies can be hard to come by which helps add to the survival aspect of the game. It is like this whole world is just filled with death and your decisions really do bear some massive weight to them. Not just what happens out on the battlefield, but at the start of each run as you decide which character (they have different perks) will be right for that mission.

It Ain’t Getting Any Easier!

One of the things I am most interested in about Shardpunk: Verminfall is the progression of the game. They have said that there will be three districts in the full game and that each one will feature harder and harder enemies. There are hordes of rats that you encounter and that is cool, but I am very interested to see what other kinds of steampunk style baddies are waiting for us. They actually referenced games like X-Com and Darkest Dungeon when talking about the gameplay and that is something that got me very excited.

Pixel-Punk

I am a huge fan of steampunk style looking games, movies, and so on. However, Shardpunk: Verminfall is quite different in that it is all done with pixel art. I am having a hard time right now thinking of another steampunk style game that has such a retro style steampunk look to it as this one here does. It is very appealing to me and I like the little animations that all of the characters have too.

If you like tactics-based RPGs, Shardpunk: Verminfall is a game that you have to keep a close eye on. The demo that they have for this right now is awesome stuff indeed and I truly believe that this game has a ton of promise. While there are still more than a few things that we do not know about the game just yet, I think what they have shown, especially in that demo gives you more of an indication of what you can expect from this game.

Pros:

  • I love the pixel art steampunk style world that they have created here
  • There could be something very interesting here with the story
  • I love the survival turn based gameplay that they have going on here
  • You will have to make some pretty hard and brutal decisions in the game

Cons:

  • I am not sure how deep the story will actually be
  • I know that pixel art is not for everyone so some people may not be able to look past that
