Shards of the Realm

great game real timesink, cannot wait to see where it goes.

I've spent a bit of time in this, really trying to get into it. It's a mix of XCom and Mount & Blade, if I wanted to describe it in the easiest possible way. You have turn-based combat, the gathering of resources, crafting, castle-building(of sorts).. Lots of ingredients to make a fun experience. But, try as I might I simply cannot get into it. The pacing is just off for me. Everything feels so slow to the point I feel like I'm spending the vast majority of my time staring at the screen waiting for the days to go by and characters to heal or production to complete. For me, the time spent vs the progress made just doesn't make this something that works for me. I think there's certainly a game here that could be enjoyed. It's got magic. It's got monsters. The combat is fairly entertaining with the variety of attacks you get and the large assortment of enemies. There are multipliers that you can use to tailor combat to how you like it, making things a bit quicker. Adding buildings to your castle, producing weapons/armor and other stuff is satisfying. But you'll need some patience.

The XCOM successor I didn't know I needed. The timer keeps the pressure up to manage your time well. There's a ton to do, and a lot of systems to juggle, but once you get the hang of it and make real progress (Getting my 6th party member when I finally built my cargo horse was exhilarating), you will find the rhythm to be successful. If you're a gamer who can get over a little jank while they work out the kinks and outdated graphics, then you will probably love it as much as I do.

Для початку не погано, але ще дуже багато над чим треба працювати. Колись гляну ще раз гру. На разі сил й наснаги розробнику цієї інді РПГ

A cool game for fans of old-school XCOM but set in a fantasy world. Despite the roughness of early access, you can already see the depth of build-crafting possibilities. But answer me this: why do we have to gather hides in the mines?

现在这个游戏质量连半成品都不如，这不是价格问题，你免费给我玩我都不会去浪费时间。 不仅是角色简陋，内容无聊，我4090的显卡都还有很多图像错误，连UI和基本的操作都有问题。 这比抢鲜体验还抢鲜体验呢。退款得了。

22 hours played so far and I'm enjoying it. The crafting system and combat are excellent. Like any Early Access, it's buggy as hell, but it's a lot of fun.

Game with clear potentials. But it need work first.

Strongly recommend this game. What a nice little surprise this was. I played the demo not expecting much but after an hour or so I was totally hooked, and when the demo ended it took me all of 5 minutes to purchase the early access. Tons of stuff to do, really non linear game play. very nice to be able to go do stuff and explore as you wish. Some events pop up that are time limited but still ample time to do what you want. One thing I will say is when you start out after you make your avatar if you don't like the party that auto generates just restart immediately and get something that more suits your tastes. For me I made a Male Orc Beserker, and my party gave me all Orcs 3 beserkers 1 Protector. I was like hmm Ok guess in early access the main toon sets the stage for the group, but this is not the case. And also know that it's perma death you can lose your main character easily, it was only after this happened and i restarted did i see the different party setup auto generate. But hey the game is amazing i can't stop playing, sure there are a few bugs but hey is an indie early access and the dev is doing many updates/fixes, and im sure once the game gets fleshed out I will totally rock, even more than it does now, Do yourself a favour for the low price you can't go wrong on this.
