What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’ve spent months iterating on weekly updates with our active community, and now, we’re inviting you to help take it to the next level! Early Access gives us the chance to grow the Shardbound universe with even more players—meaning more epic plays, more feedback, and way more fun. Your input helps shape the strategy, so come help us craft something awesome!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We’re aiming to fully launch Shardbound before the end of 2024. Our goal is to use Early Access to fine-tune the experience with player feedback and make sure everything is ready for prime time!”

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

“We’re treating Early Access as an open beta for Shardbound, where we’ll get that final round of feedback on gameplay balance, progression tuning, and more. The game is already close to its final form, but we’re counting on our larger community to help us fine-tune it and make it the best it can be!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We’re almost there! Shardbound is close to being fully launch-ready, with a complete player progression system and gameplay that’s already a blast. We’re fine-tuning based on player feedback to make sure everything is as fun and polished as possible.”

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

“Nope! We believe the game’s economy is already in its final form, so the pricing will remain consistent during and after Early Access.”

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

“We plan to stay just as engaged with our Early Access community as we have been with our Pre-Alpha crew. From chatting and collaborating in Discord to reviewing gameplay videos and supporting fan-created content, we’re here to make sure your voice is heard.

And don’t worry—we’re the type of team that reads every review, dives deep into feedback, and thrives on working with constructive criticism. Together, we’ll shape Shardbound into something truly special.”

Perfect for both casual players seeking quick, exciting games and strategy enthusiasts ready to outsmart the competition, every match in Shardbound is a fresh challenge that keeps you on your toes.

In Shardbound, you’ll collect hundreds of powerful units and craft dynamic decks to unleash in intense head-to-head battles. Use positioning, terrain, and your units' unique abilities to turn the tide and claim victory. Power up your deck, lay down the law, and leave your opponents guessing at every turn!

  • Get In, Get Out, Get Satisfied: Alright, listen up! You got 15 minutes? Perfect! Dive into a battle where every turn is packed with action. Quick, intense, and totally immersive. You’ll be itching for another round—no doubt about it!

  • Jump In, Have a Blast, Feel Like a Champ: Whether you’re here to flex those tactical muscles or just wanna dive in for some quick fun, Shardbound’s got your back. Easy to learn, tough to master, and impossible to put down. You’re gonna love it—guaranteed!

  • Deck-Building, But Make It Spicy: We’re not just building decks here; we’re crafting pure, strategic gold. Mix CCG mechanics with tactical genius, deploy your units, and watch the board light up! That perfect card at the perfect time? Oh yeah, that’s the good stuff.

  • Big Brain Moves, No Sweat: You think you’re smart? Prove it, genius! Shardbound is all about outmaneuvering your opponent with slick, tactical moves. Every piece you place is like a chess master’s flex.

  • Upgrade, Flex, Repeat: Time to show off! Upgrade those cards and strut your stuff like you just bought a brand-new leather jacket. Your opponents? They’ll know who’s boss the moment you lay those upgraded beauties on the table.

  • Commanders of Shardbound: Assemble your A-team, folks! We’ve got General Vardan, the strategic mastermind; Professor Mori, the spell-slinging sorceress; Baroness Sabine, the queen of cunning; Venerator Wynn, the champion of justice; and Director Petra, the planner who never misses. These legends? They’re not just playing—they’re here to conquer!

  • Relics Are Power: A Commander’s Best Friend: No self-respecting Commander steps onto the battlefield without their trusty relic. But here’s the kicker—these bad boys aren’t just for show. With 25 relics in the game (and more on the way!), each one offers a wildly different experience that can turn the tide of battle and supercharge your deck’s strategy. Whether you’re into brute force or cunning tactics, there’s a relic that fits your style like a glove. So grab yours, mix it up, and let’s make some history!

  • New Content, Who Dis?: Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out—BAM! New sets, new cards, new ways to flex your tactical muscles. We keep it fresh, so you can keep crushing the competition and looking good doing it.
