Post-apocalyptic thriller
Shardpunk: Verminfall is a premium role-playing game developed by Clockwork Pile and published by Retrovibe that is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the war has been lost, and the capital city has been destroyed. As a player, you must gather your team, scavenge for resources, fight enemy hordes, and seek shelter to survive.
Like any tactics game, Shardpunk: Verminfall combines turn-based tactical strategy with RPG, survival, and resource management elements. Players must make difficult decisions and use their skills and items to survive while putting together a crew of survivors and using steampunk weapons and bots.
Survival is the key
Shardpunk: Verminfall features grid-based levels, a variety of resources to scavenge, and detailed pixel art visuals with a Victorian steampunk theme that perfectly evokes a unique gaming experience. There are also tons of characters that you can employ to build your army. However, the key to surviving in the game is to keep moving, make hard choices about whom to save, and be smart about which resources to use.
In true Victorian steampunk fashion, you can also navigate through three progressively more dangerous districts, scavenge for resources, and fight off the vermin horde. To make your gameplay more challenging, be sure to unlock various upgrades for better efficiency and to aid you in achieving success while avoiding potential backfires. The turn-based tactical gameplay also adds thrill to each play.
However, weak-hearted players might find themselves at a disadvantage in this game, as it contains elements of fantasy violence, depiction of alcohol and drug use, as well as tackling mature and sensitive topics. Also, players must ensure they have a dedicated soundcard when playing in order to fully appreciate the game’s soundtrack and SFX, including at least 8GB of RAM.
Still a nice thriller
In conclusion, Shardpunk: Verminfall is a challenging game that offers an intense gaming experience in a post-apocalyptic world. Its Victorian steampunk theme also makes it a unique and thrilling experience. However, the game may not be suitable for weak-hearted players due to its mature and sensitive themes and fantasy violence. Additionally, players must ensure they have the necessary hardware requirements to enjoy the game entirely.
