Shardstorm

When the Echo fell, her essence shattered, seven divine Shards torn loose from their master, drifting across a wounded world. Wherever they landed, horrors woke, old magic twisted, and the earth remembered its scars. You are the Wanderer, the only one who hears their voices. Take up the Shards, Gluttony, Envy, Pride, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, and Lust... each a whisper of a forgotten sin, each capable of reshaping you into something powerful… or dangerous. Fight through endless waves of abominations, unravel the Shards’ past through Memory Fragments, confront the Echo guardians who still cling to fragments of divinity, and survive long enough to challenge Wrath at the storm’s heart. Shardstorm blends fast-paced horde-survivor action with ARPG progression and a dark fantasy lore...
