Exciting news for Shardpunk: Verminfall fans! We're thrilled to announce that next week, the game developed by a talented solo developer, and recently awarded Best Gameplay at the Intel Pixel Awards Europe, will receive an update to its roster. The upcoming 'Rat Pack' DLC will introduce Leah, the Electromancer, along with a horde of menacing new enemies.

Leah, the Electromancer, introduces an exciting new gameplay element with her unique abilities. She mastered the power of electricity and wields it to fight off the vermin hordes.

  • Blink: Teleports Leah to a selected tile in range
  • Life Drain: Drains life from enemies, damaging them, and healing Leah
  • Sacrifice: Grants Leah additional AP at the cost of HP
  • Energy Discharge: Damages and stuns multiple enemies around Leah.

Rat Pack introduces a brand new type of enemy - Stun Lancers, melee enemy units that stuns your squad members when it gets too close. When encountered, it’s best to keep them at a distance… as if being a rat didn’t make them repelling enough.

Elite Variants

Stun Lancers enter the roster of the vermin horde accompanied by Elite variants of Grunts, Shotgunners, Machinegunners, and Snipers. Elite units can appear as a part of a special encounter in map location. They are a bigger challenge, but drop more useful loot.

We were inspired by the unwavering support of our passionate players and decided to make this expansion freely accessible to all.
