The full release will include the Campaign, Ascension Mode, new languages & a few improvements and balance tweaks we will release on patch day! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/b4c103dcda4f4d30b19e1f0946e8f037500324fe.png We will release more content and patches in the months after release - and we will continue evaluating and working on your feedback!

TODAY'S UPDATE: VERSION 1.4.0

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/c7e4ad4c34c9c82eeced611adda3c0d42e5c6317.png Today's update introduces a few tweaks to Ascension Mode including a big quality of life regarding smelting cards. But - most importantly - we are introducing a new, secret boss! This boss was designed as a collaboration of one of our most important supporters during our Kickstarter campaign - thank you Scott! To unlock this boss, you will need to delve deep into Ascension and unlock the advanced cycles... and find out how to unlock this new challenge yourself!

BALANCE & FIXES

• Added 3 free Smelt at the start of every dungeon after Naraka in Ascension Mode. We realized that the amount of Neutral cards you could get in Ascension Mode could be too overwhelming. For this reason, everytime you enter a new dungeon after the first one (Naraka), you will be offered 3 free smelt to use as you see fit.
• Added Cycle 6 (Ascension)
• Fixed a few bugs regardings events in Ascension Mode
• Fixed a few typos and localization errors
• Fixed a bug with certain achievements not triggering in New Game +
• Added new Achievements tied to Ascension

As always, we look forward to your feedback - especially now in this last month of Early Access! We thank you for your support during these last months and we can't wait for the full release!

Greetings everyone! Today we want to introduce to you all the new roguelike game mode releasing on the 21st of August: ASCENSION! This will be the first iteration of the game mode that will be polished and improved in the upcoming months.

A ROGUELIKE EXPERIENCE

With Ascension Mode we want to focus 100% on gameplay and provide a more "Arcade" feeling. If you don't like story or you simply don't want to play the Campaign again, this is the game mode for you!

YOUR NEW MISSION

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/0753a318a0b2a85ccc59ad66b9c5ccf345dad307.png You start Ascension in the hub, where you can set up your party and decks and immediately set out for a new challenge. You will have to conquer 4 dungeons: explore, collect resources and face a boss at the end of each of them. Return back to the Ascension Hub after vanquishing the fearsome enemy and spend your hard earned resources on passives, skills equipment and more! Your adventure is over when all your party members die in combat or you manage to defeat the final boss!

NEW CHALLENGES AND REWARDS

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/2d7e4c143a071ea3ece11a892aadb30005d2a674.png You will encounter new, special enemies during your exploration, but also find new types of rewards. Fearsome enemies marked with a red icon are ELITE enemies - and the chests they guard might contain RELICS. These powerful artifacts will give you permanent passives that will benefit the party for the rest of the run.

A NEW CYCLE BEGINS

Upon completing Ascension, you will find yourself at the start of a new cycle. New cards will be available for your starting decks, new events and enemies will show up in the dungeons - and you will find new, powerful rewards! The ALPHA VERSION of Ascension mode is coming out very soon - and we will look forward to your feedback, especially when it comes to difficulty. We will work hard to tune the encounters and challenges during these upcoming months leading to the release of the game. We'll see you on AUGUST 21st!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/ac88551f52622af75bb0f191fcc251dd2dac3841.jpg

Greetings, Warriors! Today we are going to explore the remaining two tribes of the Nameless World, the tribes of Delham and Flammen, and no two tribes could be more different!

In communion, strength. In strength, life

The forests of Delham are an intricate web of leaves, vines and bark, not unlike the body of any living being. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/aac2f19d7d3221ee85ed8b91f4fa503cc2d746b6.png From eating the fruit of the land, to the near-cult veneration of their elders, the Delhams are a shining symbol of what greatness humanity can achieve. These habits, however, have also raised some concerns in the mind of those who are familiar with the Porcelain Throne. The rift between Delham and the Cathedral has been growing larger with every new generation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/ef91750ed515e963eee1c1ed6ada14df791bed31.png

The eternal flame of Hope

Deep in the valleys among the northern mountains, the tribe of Flammen has elected to make its stand. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/6cd0dd3786a5c1ac388f59f94c678d2fda85e96d.png To the other tribes, they are brutal and efficient conquerors, who seek the complete subjugation of all those who do not consider themselves part of their Legion. The constant stream of successes during the years had an unforeseen consequence: many have deserted their original tribes to join the Flammen, causing their ranks to swell more and more with every passing day. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/04714081b046eaed8921fbaac861f7b1bd2ee10d.png

Greetings, Warriors! Today we would like to explore two people far from each other, yet deeply connected. We are talking about the tribes of Ashram and Sentia, and their homes.

A land of dust and thunder

The Ashram land is not what one would call a comfortable home. Here humans live among barren plains, feeding exclusively on ashes. At its center, surrounded by scattered fossils, lies the Agonisterion. Here the Everchosen of Ashram rises to her new sacred role, and trains for the wars to come. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/ac1deb338495e3c154c07118f134e87168ee09f6.jpg By the ancient motto “Every boy a Guardian, every girl a Vestal”, all children train together from a very early age. The rigorous daily exercise often leads the young warriors to form tight, everlasting bonds with their comrades in arms. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/2da14057cd03ff011124ac4c3a1d40fb4ca4170e.jpg

Dreams from the past

Far to the west, hidden by high hills and built around a great chasm, stands the rocky and shining city of Cintamanya - home of the Sentia. Ever loyal to their history, these people devote their lives to safeguarding the Past, singing and ever expanding their "Chant of Memory"! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/011c42af1aefc15d835af08de5ae328d19b22b7e.jpg Singing in the halls of the Chantry is not their only duty. Their Vestal, referred to as the Chantress, holds great powers in her voice - warded by the best warriors coming from the greatest bloodlines of the Tribe, her main goal is to ensure their kin's survival. Yet, the Wheel of Fate has not been too kind on them, these past cycles... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/d13b9e718baab625fdb73360a1b69d264f857a4a.jpg

To all the warriors out there. After some weeks of reasonings, we've taken the tough decision to further postpone the release date of Shattered Heaven to the 31th of May. Our desire is to immediately offer a complete experience so that all the features that make Shattered Heaven so special will be fully appreciated. We are working hard to give to our creature the shape we've imagined since the beginning of this journey. In the meantime, we invite you to follow all the in-depth updates about the game coming on our shop page. Apologies for the delay, we trust in your understanding.

May the Everlasting Redeemer’s blessing be upon you, warriors! let's take the time to delve into our World...

A nameless land, a cruel fate:

Today, we're going to talk a bit about the story and setting of Shattered Heaven! Every ten years, four girls - each one from a different Land - are bound to manifest incredible powers that grant them the ability to overcome incredible, inhuman feats. These maidens gain the title of holy Vestal, and they are immediately tasked with fighting - and winning - the recurrent War of the Ascension. Without a choice, they are burdened with the weight of the world. Followed and protected by their Guardians, they will gather at the center of the known world, the Equinox Cathedral. Here resides the sole ruler of the land, the Divine Child Heliad which looks down on all of His subjects with a serene and benevolent spirit. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/e752c568da9dd29421bd0ae8803c4e5af6ebd16b.jpg Surrounded by His servants, He is the living reincarnation of the divine that was once betrayed by humankind. Ever vigilant upon His throne, he looks down on all of His subjects with a serene and benevolent spirit. His is every Command - By His will, the four Vestals will face one perilous trials after the other, in which they will risk everything for the chance to save their people from extinction. The Vestals are not alone in their quest for salvation. Merchants and craftspeople, sent by their tribes, populate the lower dwellings of the Cathedral, living together in an environment where the four peoples meet but never mingle, for too great is the distrust among them - a necessary evil, if they want to survive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/a0fbb9ca909bcb73308a81da6c19646ebb018e8f.jpg The world of Shattered Heaven is full of untold stories, red threads of Fate, and shocking encounters. The Wheel spins, bringing forth great events and changes. When the time comes, where will you stand?

Greetings, Warriors! It’s time for Gameplay and Mechanics! Today we want to talk about progression and power ups. It’s very important to provide a sense of constant evolution during the game, we know it - that’s why we are putting extra care in our Character Growth system. Make sure to properly explore the Equinox Cathedral - the main hub of the game - and check out all the ways to further empower our Ashram champions! The first one is Cards, of course! Namely, we are talking about Hero Cards, so cards that are specific to each of our player characters - they are tailored around their mechanics and keywords, and will always be available to you when you are building your decks. Every time you come back to the Cathedral after a successful mission, you’ll unlock a brand-new set of powerful Hero Cards varying in skills, rarity and cost. Don't be afraid to try different, unexpected combinations: it might hold the key to Victory! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/037/749/837/d29d9ab87dfed2944b5ad3eab192ba9b_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1656081006&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=2383cab0c66407bca7e8cead26f6677a Coming back victorious will also grant you 1 Skill Point per character. These precious resources will be spent in the Talents section to grant powerful active and passive abilities. You will also be able to improve your basic stats such as maximum HP and Shields. You can also save loadouts and reset skill points with no costs attached! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/037/749/855/6cc478919091315989269747e09015ef_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1656081108&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=3b5c79bfbee81af87aba8a43e3e55e0e And last but not least, we have the Dark Forge! Here is where you will unlock a variety of helpful perks, such as improving the effectiveness of your healing items, adding extra slots for rare cards in your deck and so on! These upgrades are extremely impressive and can only be obtained with Dark Bones. This currency is strictly related to the most difficult challenges you can face in the game - at the start of a dungeon you will be able to select special conditions like “Armor gained in this depth is halved”: this will reward you with a higher number of Dark Bones compared to other easier challenges (or no challenges selected at all). This doesn’t mean you will never obtain Dark Bones if you plan to play the game at normal difficulty - but the more you dare, the more you will be rewarded! https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/037/749/860/6ac07a8c987ae894b51ff01de917d24c_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=700&fit=max&v=1656081133&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=4d3437b79faf418b0468cedb22db2d9f

Greetings brave warriors! We are gonna give you a brief overview of what you are going to find when you delve deep into the dungeons of Shattered Heaven. Be it a distant kingdom, an ancient city or the depths of the earth, you will have to face many perils and try to find the balance between greed and your own safety.

The Depths

Dungeons in Shattered Heaven are divided in several floors, and each of them comes with unique challenges and conditions, including optional ones that will grant you rarer loot. For example, enemies might inflict extra debuffs on each attack, traps might be harder to avoid and so on. Daring to face the more dangerous challenges will reward you with a greater quantity of Dark Bones, a rare currency that will grant you many useful perks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/464879bed5d3283aad2a6231b6f713647542f7b3.gif You will also become used to draft Neutral Cards after every battle. Neutral Cards are complementary cards that you will find after battles and certain events. In each draft you will have to assign 1 card for each character, so you will have to carefully consider your choices. While these cards are often not as powerful as your Hero Cards, they can still work as a great tool in your arsenal: for example, one card might let you draw more cards from the deck, another a small heal to a party member or a powerful debuff, and so on! Note that Neutral cards are not a permanent addition to your decks, but they will disappear once you leave the dungeon, making deck-building dynamic everytime you explore.

Events

It's not just about dangerous creatures and fights to the death! Events are a big part of exploring a dungeon. Simple Events usually offer both positives and negatives outcomes, often requiring you to take a leap of faith and hope for victory. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/b53785880d6af2e1c12f16338c0a0241163c121e.gif Trap Events are going to deal direct damage to your characters, but you can try to avoid them or use your tools for a chance to disable them. Arcana Events are very powerful and rare events that will grant you a sizable advantage in your explorations: being able to see what lies ahead, healing your party, even giving you power loot like trinkets! Lastly, Blasphemous Events are the most dreaded sight when you are delving deep in unexplored territories. These twisted versions of normal events will lead you to hard and punishing choices, but even despair can turn into triumph with a bit of luck!

The Pyre of Vesta

It's difficult to find respite amidst chaos, but the Pyre of Vesta grants a safe haven even in the depths of this cursed world. From refilling your potion to healing your characters, this blessed place will be your favorite stop during explorations. And if you don't need rest, you can also get rid of unwanted cards or draft new Neutral cards while you are resting close to the Pyre, helping you make your strategies more efficient. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/592780514c4fd0c8f93ffe44733539b9781728fa.gif

Greetings, brave warriors! Today we are giving you our first IN-DEPTH look at "Shattered Heaven", starting with our main cast. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/d0d5a46f2a068a80949adcef228064707e545482.jpg We are going to take a closer look at Ishana's unique fighting styles and mechanics. Let's get to it! ISHANA: A blind outcast feared and loathed by everyone in Ashram - despite her infamous reputation, she has been chosen to accompany Andora in the War of Ascension. The mysterious, ever-hungry entity that accompanies her since she was born will surely be a powerful weapon against the enemies of the Thunderborn Vestal - proven that she won't lose control over her powers... ISHANA'S UNIQUE MECHANICS: Ishana is able to summon her fiendish beast companion when she gains "THIRST" points from cards or by killing enemies. When the beast joins the fight, Ishana's cards will unlock new, powerful effects and will consume "THIRST" when played. Ishana will have to carefully balance between accumulating "THIRST" and unleashing deadly attacks through her beast. "GOUGE" is another powerful ability only she has access to; Gouged cards will be removed completely from the deck and graveyard for the duration of the fight, granting Ishana a powerful way to make her deck thinner and more consistent during a long battle. Her beast also grants her enhanced control over negative conditions, making her especially apt at inflicting debuffs such as "BLEEDING". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/eebc1e53e4546de90c436b76f55f972d6a351f16.gif A STARTING POINT It's important to point out that these are just the basic playstyles of our protagonists. You will be able to craft your own unique spin on their playstyles through unlocking character cards, active and passive skills, and equipping different trinkets. Many possibilities await you and more will come as we work to give our game more depth!

Let's get to it! MAGNI: Magni is impressively strong and Andora's most devoted guardian. He has been training all his life waiting for the moment to become the guardian of the Everchosen. Duty-bound, he becomes the protector who shields his friends and smites their enemies with a poised riposte. MAGNI'S UNIQUE MECHANICS: Magni's ability to accumulate "RAGE" by dealing and receiving damage allows him to use incredibly powerful skills during combat. With enough "RAGE" stored, Magni can unleash his powers in every turn instead of relying on cooldowns like the other characters. Magni can also take advantage of powerful synergies with Neutral Cards, like with his exclusive keyword "HALFBLOOD". "HALFBLOOD" cards will have their cost reduced when he has 2 or more Neutral Cards in his hand. He also has access to powerful self-buffs like "PROTECTOR" and "RIPOSTE", allowing him to protect his allies from enemy attacks and counter with deadly retaliation. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/7f679bc47b8858aebcf4f8aa1f743f36fbce98dc.gif A STARTING POINT It's important to point out that these are just the basic playstyles of our protagonists.

Let's get to it! ANDORA: Andora is a fast and extremely skilled warrior. She prefers to overwhelm enemies with an endless series of fast and accurate strikes rather than relying on brute force. As the Vestal of Ashram, she is also able to wield the power of thunder. ANDORA'S UNIQUE MECHANICS: Andora has access to the extremely powerful keyword "SWIFT" allowing her to discard cards and draw new ones and perform a series of deadly attacks in rapid succession. Some of her signature cards come with the powerful ability "SINUOUS", reducing their cost every time you discard a card. These mighty abilities synergize extremely well with her exclusive "OVERWHELM" cards, which gain more damage for each card played during the turn. She is also able to empower herself during battle by playing different colored cards and filling her "ASCENSION GAUGE". {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42551894/a4fe7d46e0c874bf3ff40f73a64b6e2ff46b3be3.gif A STARTING POINT It's important to point out that these are just the basic playstyles of our protagonists.
