Feb. 2026
Do you like tight turn-based action, squad management, (almost) perfect information, incremental upgrades, characters who have visuals, skill trees and upgrades that give them the awesome personality the developers didn't have time to create, the map/room system from 'Slay the Spire' and the rest system from 'The Darkest Dungeon' (RIP Wayne June)? Then you will certainly like Shardpunk! How this slipped under the radar is beyond me! I was looking for a good XCOM-like for ages, positively ages, and got this on a whim for like £3 on sale or something. Genuinely one of the best little games I've bought on Steam. To say that it's 2D XCOM is accurate enough, but the games characters and abilities and it's short, focused campaign carries it way beyond what a standard clone of that turn-based grand master would aspire to be. Normal difficulty is very manageable, I finished it on Ironman my first attempt (but I AM a bit of a turn-based fiend so I can imagine it would be a more significant challenge for someone unfamiliar with the genre) and I am looking forward to getting a max difficulty Ironman run done with a whole new team of characters that I unlocked during my first playthrough. In short, it's a game that knows what it is, does what it set out to do, doesn't get in it's own way with redundant systems and just lets you get to it. Highly recommend! 9/10

I bought this on sale and got 40+ hours out of this, which is refreshingly good value. The learning curve is frustrating at first, but trust me, STAY WITH IT. Stick with the characters you love, upgrade them, level them up strong, and like me you will have a solidly entertaining experience. I went from dreading each new level with my weak team, to being able to demolish every enemy until the final level that STILL provided a fun challenge. Two out of my four beloved party members died to save the world, and you know what? I'm okay with that. Then I hit New Game with a new set of characters, the gameplay is that fun. I don't care some say the gameplay is repetitive. It's cozy, it's comforting, and sometimes I just want to blast mutant rats (all the more funny because I am a Rat Mom myself). My favourite moments: reaching a bunker and making sure my party members get enough rest, destroying a whole pack of rats with traps and explosives and grenades, beating the last level Least favourite: The early levels, the realisation that some levels will keep sending you enemies so you cannot stay in one spot and hope for the best--you have to keep moving! Pro Tip: Always leave at least one companion on Overwatch!

Brilliant game. The art, the game loop, the impact of weaponry, everything about it has been honed to perfection. It's exactly what it says on the tin - XCOM tactical combat meets Darkest Dungeon stress/survival mechanics. Now I did finish my first run on normal (too afraid to try hard on such a long roguelike), which unfortunately took any desire for repeat runs, but I feel I got my fun out of this in the one run. The game ratchets up the tension as you go and the final chapter was just an insane slaughterhouse, I really don't think I could have held my own if I'd tried hard so glad I went with normal. Really looking forward to seeing what else this developer puts out.

It is an okay from me, but having the option to restart a mission instead of being screwed over by surprises is a good call, considering it takes so long for a full run. Purists would definitely scoff at it, but I am just a casual gamer. It is definitely possible to beat the game with the starting characters, though at higher difficulties, there is a very clear meta. The ending was just 2-3 scenes of text which is kinda anti-climatic. I won't be replaying this game as it is basically the same stages and enemies, so maybe with different strategies or unlocked characters.

An xcom roguelike with permadeath, where the permanent upgrades are NPCs with different abilities and being able to upgrade a greater variety of skills. It is good, and I do recommend it if you like strategy games and roguelikes, but for me, I think a single run takes too long. I got about half way through a campaign before my party was wiped, and doing all of that over again does not appeal to me. Still, for this very reasonable price, I recommend you give it a try.
