What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm excited to finally present my open-world tactical RPG after several years in development. Early Access gives me the unique chance to not only share my creation but also to shape it into a game that reflects what you, the community, truly want. Your feedback is crucial for refining gameplay, adding the features you desire most, and resolving any problems that arise. Together, we can craft the ultimate gaming experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“With the scale of the game and major plans for upcoming updates, along with your feedback regarding what you want to see in the game, we're estimating to reach full release within the next 2-3 years.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I have numerous content updates in the pipeline for the Early Access phase, derived directly from your suggestions and feedback. For the full version, my plans include introducing a vast array of new equipment, crafting options, and buildings along with their upgrades. I will also be expanding the game with additional skills and passive abilities, new modes of battle, and we aim to fully flesh out the storyline, offering multiple endings for a rich and varied experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“My ambition with the Early Access launch was to deliver a game that is both stable and enjoyable across all gameplay aspects.

From day one, players have access to a comprehensive suite of features, including:

Turn-based tactical battles in a destructible environment
Four distinct classes and eight subclasses, each offering a unique playstyle
Interaction with six NPC factions, including the ability to improve or worsen relationships
Options for multiclassing characters
An expansive map ripe for exploration
Basic base management elements, including building structures and managing resources
An introductory research tree and crafting system
Approximately 1-2 hours of initial mission gameplay, but as the game features a sandbox environment, there are additional activities post-missions, including accessing second-tier weapons and armor, building relationships, trading, etc.
Random events occurring on the global map
And much more...”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, I plan to gradually increase the price as I release new content and features during the Early Access period, as well as upon the game's full release. I believe that the game's price should accurately reflect its scope and quality at any given stage.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Engaging with the community is a cornerstone of our development strategy, which is a key reason for my decision to launch in Early Access. I am committed to actively participating in discussions on platforms such as Discord and the Steam forums to engage with players about the game. Your feedback will be a crucial part of the development process from start to finish.

Furthermore, I've built the game with the potential for user modifications in mind, though a final decision on this aspect is still pending. We value the creativity and innovation that come from player mods and are considering the best way to implement this feature.”

About This Game

"Shards of Realm" is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world. In it, you must not only assemble a group of adventurers but also develop your own fortress, assign workers, research new technologies, and produce the items necessary for victory.

The game features two key concepts: turn-based tactical battles and exploration on a global map in a living world .

Tactical Battles

The game offers four distinct classes and eight subclasses, each with unique gameplay. Assemble a balanced team to overcome superior enemies. Utilizing cover, flanking attacks, and smart role distribution within the group are the keys to success. Meanwhile, a destructible environment in battles adds variety to tactical maneuvers.

A flexible character development tree and the option for multiclassing will help you create your unique team.

Global Map

In the global map mode, the player can interact with various factions, improve relationships with them, or, conversely, go to war. While the world evolves independently, only the player's actions will determine its outcome. Whether you choose to save everyone or plunge them into the abyss of chaos is up to you.

Seek and gather resources, trade, complete faction quests, or loot caravans... Any means are good for victory.

Fortress Management

To achieve victory, you'll need equipment. You can, of course, buy or find it, but the best pieces can only be invented and created. A flexible technology tree and production are available to the player in their fortress. A wide variety of buildings for construction will assist both in resource gathering and in training fighters.
