Shards of the Realm is a complex old-school Strategy/Tactical RPG, inspired by the classic X-Com series. It features a living open world and a wide range of deeply interconnected mechanics across both tactical and strategic layers, with over 50 hours of gameplay.
Develop your stronghold, manage workers, trade, build — everything demands smart strategic planning. On the battlefield, a flexible class system, multiclassing, skill synergies, and destructible environments allow for a wide variety of tactical approaches. A deep research and crafting system lets you prepare your squad for any challenge the world throws at you.
No dice rolls or abstractions — real projectiles and physical collisions drive the combat. Positioning, cover, and interaction between units are crucial.
No grid and no fixed number of actions — action points are your only limit. Spend them however you want.
Anything can be used as cover: terrain, trees, even allies or enemies.
Directional armor zones (front, flanks, rear) reward clever flanking and ambushes.
The environment is destructible — blow up cover or open new paths.
Friendly fire is enabled — even melee attacks can harm allies if you're reckless.
Squad of up to 9 fully controllable characters
4 base classes and 8 unique subclasses with distinct playstyle, roles and abilities
Multiclassing support and a skill tree with 60+ active and passive abilities
Deep status effects system with differenct auras, buffs, debuffs, synergies
No "correct" builds — design your heroes your way: classic tank/DPS/support setups or hybrid roles
There’s no loot rain — nearly all gear is hand-crafted via research and production.
Your fortress is the core of your economy, science, recruitment, and crafting
Over 200 various items such as weapons, armors, tools, rings, trading goods to develop and produce
People are your main resource — who goes to the lab, who to the forge, who to the battlefield?
Six NPC factions with their own goals and rivalries. Your choices shape the political map — trade, ally, or wipe them out
Day-night cycle affects visibility on both global and tactical levels
Hidden dungeons with unique rewards and challenges
Demonic Sieges — a global threat and a tactical opportunity. They can destroy your stronghold or help you eliminate a rival
Shards of the Realm is a game where one mistake can cost you everything.
But if you enjoy meaningful decisions, deep mechanics, and a world that reacts to your choices — this is the game for you.
