In Shardbreakers, you don’t just collect upgrades - you build a spell engine. Socket Shards to decide what triggers what and chain spells together. Your weapon attacks automatically and lighter spells trigger on their own, while your most decisive spells remain under your control.

Build your spell engine

Each lane is a row of slots with endless possibilities. Choose Skill Shards from Fire, Ice, Lightning, Arcane, and Physical. Then combine them with Modifier and Condition Shards to decide how your skills play out.

Prove your build in combat

You design the rules how your spells trigger, chain, and cascade in real time. From rapid-fire embers to devastating thunderfalls, all answer to your order.

Fight the enemies using your own spell engine. A crowded battlefield isn't just danger... It's fuel for a working build!

Expand what you can build

Pick your start with the Hunter, Arcanist, or Knight, then shape each run through the engine you build. Unlock new Shards, then change the trigger, change the arrangement, change the result.

WHAT’S IN THE DEMO

The Shardbreakers Demo lets you experience the core buildcraft and combat loop across one biome , with branching routes and runs that typically last around 30 minutes.

Play as Hunter, Knight, or Arcanist , each with their own weapon, class mechanic, abilities, and elemental pool.

Build your spell engine with 50+ Skill Shards, 30+ Modifier Shards, 15+ Condition Shards, and 15+ Relics , alongside the Resonance system.

Each run can take you through different room types, from Normal and Elite encounters to Shops, Reforge rooms, Transmuters, the Camp, Harbinger encounters, and the final Boss.

As you keep playing, you can unlock new classes, weapons, Shards, and additional build options.

The Shardbreakers Demo is live now. Play it on Steam and start building your spell engine!
