Watch Shard Squad's Early Access Launch Trailer!

In Shard Squad, players will embody various beasts as they fight against endless hordes of monsters to save their land. In this creature collector, instead of capturing them, they'll become them! It can also be played in split-screen co-op.

There are more than 20 Shards that can be recruited, and they've each got their own abilities and effects. With a total of five types — Crystal, Water, Fire, Electric, and Nature — players can enjoy mixing and matching them to find the best (or most fun) synergies.

Here's what you can expect from Shard Squad's Early Access:

• 20-hour campaign, which includes animated cutscenes and voice acting.
• Dynamic runs that keep the game unpredictable and fresh.
• 20 Shards to play.
• Eight stages, each with various difficulty levels.
• More than 170 enemies to defeat.
• 59 challenging bosses, offering unique mechanics.
• 19 characters to meet.
• 99 relics that offer abilities and stats.
• 19 synergies to discover by mixing the five types.
• 20 Special Events to experience throughout runs.
• Play local co-op.
• A bestiary to unlock about enemies and NPCs.
• 32 unlockable tales that expand on lore and characters.
• A meta progression system with recipes and upgrades.
