Overview

The keep is a puzzle. The puzzle bites back.

Shardkeep is a run-based roguelike where every battle is fought on a gem board. Skulls strike, shields guard, mana fuels your spellbook — and matching four or more keeps the turn yours. Enemies telegraph every move, then twist the board itself: frost that locks your gems, rocks that clog your lines, hexes that drain your matches.

Key Features

  • Three acts, three tyrants — fight from the gloom of the Vault through the Molten Undercroft to the crystal court of the Facet Crown.
  • Draft a spellbook, not a deck — 24 spells across three schools of mana, honed at campfires, capped at eight so every pick counts.
  • 20 board-warping relics — cascade doublers, gold that cuts, frost immunity, a second life.
  • Flasks — free-action consumables for the turn everything goes wrong.
  • Three Callings — begin as the Bladebound, the Wardkeeper, or the Gildhand and build from different strengths.
  • Ascension — ten levels of escalating challenge after your first win.
  • Telegraphed, deterministic battles — every intent is visible, every cascade follows from your move. Pure decisions.

Fully painted art, ten achievements, cloud saves, and text in 14 languages.
