Buy Shards of Order PC key

Shards of Order is a dark fantasy RPG with card-based combat and shared deckbuilding. You lead three survivors through a world where the ancient Laws governing life, death and time have been stolen or shattered. As identity fractures and the dead refuse to stay buried, your party sets out to restore the Laws, one at a time.

Combat and deckbuilding

Combat has no turns or mana. Each enemy displays a countdown to its next action, and every card you play shifts those timers, bringing enemy actions closer or pushing them further away. You manage the clock for the whole party, weighing each move carefully; one mistimed card can unravel a fight.

All three heroes draw from one shared set of cards, so each card you add changes the odds of what the party draws. You can build around one hero or spread strength across the group to keep everyone in the fight.

Three heroes

Each of the three characters has multiple playstyles, a skill tree and a personal story arc. You level up, customize equipment, make dialogue choices and pass skill checks. Weapons and armor shape each hero’s playstyle, and some equipment adds unique cards to the shared deck, making gear choices part of building it. Gear across the party can also make the group work together as one.

Restore the Laws

As you scavenge the dying world, you recover the lost Laws that once governed it. Each one you restore draws the attention of the all-seeing God, who may offer help in your darkest moments. You can accept, though the God is known for mischief.

Regions and bosses

The journey takes you through three distinct regions and a roster of handcrafted boss fights, which test your ability to manage time in combat. The choices you make leave scars that become part of your story.
