About Shattered Heaven

A betrayal, a dying God, An ancient curse, a divine punishment. A forsaken world suspended in time and buried in ashes.

In a nameless world, only a select few survived the fall of God. Striving to live in a hostile environment and feeding on what their barren land has to offer, four factions are bound in a merciless fight for survival. Victims of a terrible curse, these populations are condemned to sleepless nights, infertility, and doomed to die at the age of 40. The only way to break the curse is to offer a Vestal and a team of valiant warriors as a sacrifice for a ritual lost in time: a violent and bloody battle known as the War of Ascension.

Which faction will win the brutal battle and secure the survival of their people? In Shattered Heaven, you will decide their fate!

Features:

β€’ Dynamic deckbuilding – Build your initial starting decks (three decks, one for each of your heroes) and customise them by drafting new ones during each run, for an ever-changing gameplay experience

β€’ Tactical RPG fights – Slay epic monsters in procedurally generated dungeons and loot valuable treasures! Upgrade your equipment and enhance your strategy thanks to a deep skill tree system

β€’ Story branching – A game with an ambitious branching narrative, where your decisions not only determine the fate of the main characters but that of the entire world.

β€’ Unique mechanics – Each character features completely different mechanics and fighting skills, which can be further customised through trinkets and the skill tree.

β€’ Innovative Crafting system – Use treasures and recipes you discover inside the dungeons to create and upgrade potions, weapons, and amulets.

β€’ Pick your poison – Choose a difficulty and a special effect that changes every time at the start of each dungeon and earn black bones used to improve characters at the dark forge.
