Description
About This Game
Shards of Order is a dark fantasy RPG with card-based combat, set in a decaying world where reality itself is unraveling. The ancient Laws that once bound life, death, and time have been stolen or shattered, leaving behind a place where memory fades, identity fractures, and even the dead refuse to stay buried. Uncover the story of a grim, shattered world by exploring its hidden corners and shaping its fate.
It’s up to you to restore the Order—if you decide it’s worth saving.
A group of resilient survivors embarks on a final journey to piece the world back together, one shattered Law at a time. Choose from five distinct playable characters, each with multiple playstyles, different abilities, and personal arcs. Combine their strengths to form a party built for survival, synergy, and sacrifice.
Shards of Order is not just a deckbuilder—it’s a true RPG. Develop your characters through leveling up, skill trees, equipment customization, dialogue choices, and skill checks. Weapons and armor are a vital part of buildcrafting. They define each hero’s playstyle, granting passive abilities and adding unique cards to your shared deck. With only one set of cards across your party, every choice brings impactful trade-offs and gameplay alterations.
There are no regular turns or mana points. Shards of Order replaces the standard turn-based formula with a dynamic time counter system. Every enemy has a countdown indicating their next move. Every card you play reduces those counters and alters the flow of battle. This requires you to plan your moves strategically. Misjudge the timing, and your entire party could fall. Time is your most valuable resource.
Explore three unique regions, each steeped in decay, mystery, and the last echoes of order. Face epic, hand-crafted boss battles that demand more than brute force. These encounters test your deck, your timing, and your understanding of each hero’s role. Victory isn’t guaranteed; you’ll have to earn it.
As you scavenge through the remnants of a dying world, you’ll begin to uncover and restore the lost Laws that once governed existence. But these Laws do not offer comfort. They bring game-changing consequences, twisting the rules in ways both brutal and rewarding. Each Law restored deepens the systems at play, opening new strategies and enhancing your party.
Embark on a journey through ruin, where every decision leaves a scar, and every scar becomes part of your story.
There is no order. Only what you are strong enough to bring back.
