Shardpunk

I am so confused... I was really enjoying the game and then it just fully bugged out or corrupted or something, idk. I went into a mission and then it wouldn't end my turn automatically anymore, and then I had to manually switch between character after using all their AP. On top of all that, the enemies just stood still and I couldn't interact with them in any kind of way... even the extraction was bugged and I couldn't leave the mission... I even started a whole new game and the exact same nonsense, I can't even get past the first part of the tutorial. This game is just broken, waste of money

First of all: I apologize if anything written here isn't coherent or clear; I'm Brazilian, so there might be some grammatical errors. To get straight to the point: congratulations on the beautiful and incredible work you've done so far. Your game is a hidden gem that I was lucky and pleased to find in this ocean called Steam, haha. I love pixel art games, and for me, it's a visual pleasure to have played yours. Not only that, but the mechanics, plot, and story are excellent. I was sad when it ended, but I'm very happy that the company will bring out a second game in the not-too-distant future. I follow you on social media and Discord. I found the new, simpler approach interesting, but I confess I liked it even more when I learned that the pixel art from the previous game has returned; for me, that's what makes your game unique and stunning. I hope everything is going well, and I believe it will. I have high hopes for this new chapter, and I hope that in the future the universe will be expanded with, who knows, new DLCs and games. I hope this review and comment reach you and give you a little more strength and encouragement, as well as help our players discover this gem that is this first game and soon the next one. Strength and success is what I wish for this game, franchise, and company!

I bought the game 2 days ago, and i'm having a great time exploring what i assume is the UK. Personally feel the difficulty for a first run was nailed just right on medium, and i can see myself enjoy hard mode once i understand the mechanics a little more, if you enjoy turn based tactics with a dash of survival resource management, then buy Shardpunk. Pro: - Simple to learn combat mechanics with enough depth to entertain you for a few runs. - Chapters and encounters are well paced, not too long or short, with enough loot that you'll never be truly tapped for resources, but rarely feel like you have enough to consider yourself safe. - Each chapter has a few routes you can take, allowing you to pick which fight sounds most doable to you, or allowing you to fast track whatever route has the best looting options. - The characters, while somewhat devoid of story, will occasionally call out encouragement to the others, making them feel a little more alive. con: - Armor values on the ratogres seems a bit high, if you didn't get any shred or pierce by the time they show up you'll likely spend a turn or two chipping at a brick wall with malicious intent. - Dodge is a somewhat irritating mechanic, as you cannot predict what an enemy can dodge, later in the game, stronger enemies will occasionally flaunt your 100% hit chance and tell you to go suck it ("it" being a dagger) - While each of the characters clearly has some backstory and personality, it isn't explored, and i do feel a little more time spent exploring each character's story just a wee bit more could have paid off. - That's it, i don't have any other cons.

"Иногда вы будете чувствовать недостаток ресурсов и значительное превосходство в количестве со стороны противника, вам будет казаться, что игра слишком сложная, её невозможно пройти, вы будете подавлены и расстроены - всё так и должно быть, это часть экспиренса". Собственно, так оно и есть. Игра интересная, сложная, финальные миссии иногда слишком сложные, и иногда хочется скорее игру завершить, чтобы этот опыт закончился. Когда продвигаешься по миссиям и твой тактический гений нагибает противника, ты радуешься. А когда один незапланированный промах или недочёт в плане ведёт к серьёзным потерям, или в финальных миссиях практически проигрываешь чувствуешь себя подавленным. Особенно расстраивает отсутствие возможности сохраниться, хотя бы между актами. Потому что проигрыш в финале игры и минус 10-15? часов - очень сильно расстраивает. В общем и целом любителям тактических пошаговых РПГ - рекомендую. Вторую часть хотелось бы чутка попроще. Оценка первой 8/10.

Recomendo com certas restrições, pra quem curte especificamente esse tipo de batalha a lá "x-com", vai se divertir, ainda que se torne um tanto repetitivo, mas dá pra zerar uma vez. Pra quem for se aventurar já deixo a dica de focar os upgrades em armor piercing ou armor break, pois a falta de um desse tornará a primeira run bem frustrante (talvez até impossível).

Such a fun game with excellent gameplay, characters, and systems.

Very smooth experience of team control in the turn based tactics format. Immersive theme (graphics and music). Quick to playthrough the game (just finished first playthrough), but looks like there are different characters to add different dynamics to the game.

Dope game.
