Shattered Heaven | A Dark Fantasy Visual Novel Deckbuilder
39Hello Im Skill Incarnate and Welcome to My Games Review Series.
My reviews cover indie games that i have bought, had gifted to me and have been provided by developers for review.
In this episode i check out Shattered Heaven, a Dark Fantasy game combining Visual Novel and Deckbuilder mechanics. Shattered Heaven takes place in an unknown world, where a mighty God has afflicted humanity with a terrible curse. Mankind is plaqued by sickness infertility and a lifespan of 40 years.
The only way to combat this curse is to offer up a champions called Vestals, who along with their chosen followers engage in a bloody battle royale known as the War of Ascension. The player controls the latest generation of Vestals as they navigate war, political strife, treachery and the impossible decisions forced on them by a God who has little regard for humanity.
This is an interesting fusion of Deckbuilder and Deckbuilder with some impressive artwork and a fantasy/post apocalyptic setting.

Shattered Heaven combines card games and roguelikes to make a single-player deck builder with RPG elements, dungeon crawling, and a multi-branch narrative structure.
Shattered Heaven focuses on a card game/roguelike gameplay fueled by a great replay value, thanks to procedural dungeons, a deep crafting system, and a gripping narrative influenced by players’ choices.
The game features a unique 2d cartoon style, with dark fantasy and Lovecraftian flavor, and an epic soundtrack with opera singers.
Dynamic Deckbuilding – Build your starting decks (three of them, one for each of your heroes) as you wish and customize them by drafting new ones during each run, for an ever different experience.
Tactical RPG Fights – Slay epic monsters in procedurally generated dungeons and loot valuable treasures! Improve your equipment and enhance your strategy thanks to a deep Skill tree system.
Story branching – A game with an ambitious branching narrative, where your decisions not only determine the fate of the main characters but that of the entire world.
Unique mechanics – Each character features completely different mechanics and ways to fight, which can be further customized through trinkets and the skill tree.
Innovative Crafting system – Use treasures and recipes you find inside the dungeons to create and upgrade potions, weapons, and amulets.
Pick your poison – Choose a difficulty and a special effect that changes every time at the start of each dungeon and earn black bones used to improve characters at the dark forge.
A betrayal, a dying God
An ancient curse, a divine punishment.
A forsaken world suspended in time and buried in ashes.
In a nameless world, only a few survived the fall of God. Living in a hostile environment and feeding on what their barren land had to offer, four factions are bound to fight each other for survival. Victims of a terrible curse, these populations are condemned to sleepless nights, infertility, and doomed to die at the age of 40.
The only way to break the curse is to offer a Vestal, and a team of valiant warriors, as a sacrifice for a ritual lost in time: a bloody and harsh battle known as the War of Ascension.
Which faction will be able to win and secure the survival of their species? You decide!
