Shards of Order PC (Tenoke-Final)

Restore them and reshape the rules of Shards of Order, but be ready to face the consequences. Shards of Order is a dark fantasy RPG that throws out the rulebook for deckbuilding & card-based combat. There are no turns and no mana points. Every enemy acts on a visible countdown, and every card you play winds those counters down, shifting the whole flow of the fight. Time is your most valuable resource. Misjudge, and your team is sure to crumble. Master the art of shared deckbuilding; there are three heroes, but only one set of cards. Every card you add affects the drawing odds.

Will you build around one main hero and stack the deck in their favor, or spread the strength across the whole party and keep everyone in the fight? Reality is coming apart. The ancient Laws that once held life, death, and time in place have been stolen or shattered at Shards of Order. What’s left is a world where identity fractures and the dead refuse to stay buried. A handful of survivors set out to put it back together, one broken Law at a time. You’re their leader, and restoring Order is up to you – If you find it worth saving. Play as three distinct characters, each with multiple playstyles, their own skill trees, and a personal arc.

This is a full RPG underneath the cards: level up, customize equipment, make dialogue choices, and pass skill checks. Weapons and armor aren’t just stat sticks. They define each hero’s playstyle and can even inject unique cards straight into your shared deck, so every gear decision is also a deckbuilding decision. Layer the right gear across all three and your party starts working like one organism. ChatGPT said: An outstanding deckbuilder, the grimdark theme, music, and storytelling are top-notch. As the story progresses, choices may reward unique cards, with some being exclusive depending on the decisions made. The gameplay is excellent as well.

Instead of Energy, Shards of Order uses Time, so rather than managing a finite resource that replenishes each turn, the focus is on managing the timing of played cards against the enemy’s actions. Shards of Order is a game that will appeal to those who dislike roguelikes. Death is not mandatory for progression. When the character dies, no additional cards are gained, powerful swords are not kept, and there is no need to start the entire game over. The lore is deep and ties immortality directly into the story. Much of the experience feels like reading an interactive book.
