A new Shardpunk Verminfall gameplay trailer has been released by Clockwork Pie which show shows just how important tactical decisions will be in order to survive the rat swarm in the game.
The new Shardpunk Verminfall gameplay trailer was shown at the recent Realms Deep event. Check out the trailer below:
A tactical squad-based survival strategy game based in a thoroughly stylized pixel-perfect steampunk setting. Plan fights, rest at camps, juggle dwindling resources, and journey to the relative safety of bunkers, all while on the run from a swarm of vicious and heavily armed mutated rats.
In Shardpunk Verminfall, you control a group of surviving city-dwellers who are trying to escape and rescue as many others as they can. They will need to scavenge the destroyed city for resources, fight off rat vermin, and escape safely from the city. Your decision-making will be key in the story, for example with the fusion cores that can be used as a powerful explosive against rats but can be used to open bunker doors for vital items.
On one hand, where decisions will be tough to make, the game also gives you a lot of flexibility in putting together your crew of survivors. You can go for the dependant Mycroft with his exoskeleton, powerful ground slam, and heavy cannon that holds more limited charges, or you could take your chance with Silas, a twice-shooting character.
As you progress in the gameplay, you will gain experience points that can then be used on skills. After every encounter, you will reach temporary safe zones where you can upgrade your skills. Here you can go for the close-ranged powerful katana, or go for a shotgun to pulverize as many rats with each shell. The decisions are completely up to the player.
