Show Some Love for Crownbreakers
Sharkbomb Studios, the label led by solo developer Martin Nerurkar, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its upcoming title, Crownbreakers. The fast-paced, single-player card tactics game puts players in direct conflict with tyrants who have built their empires by harvesting souls.
Set in a vivid spiritpunk world, Crownbreakers blends soul-powered magic with modern life. Players take on enemies in tight 20 to 40-minute runs. The game perfectly combines deck-building strategy, turn-based tactics, and the energy of a side-scrolling brawler. The game leans heavily on its signature Knockback mechanic, which lets players actively control the battlefield. You can slam enemies into explosive barrels, crash them into one another, or line them up for powerful area attacks.
“Crownbreakers is born from a desire to mix the crunchy puzzles of card games with gameplay that feels fast, snappy and dynamic,” says Martin Nerurkar, Lead Designer at Sharkbomb Studios. “I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from Nowhere Prophet and injected it with more speed, more personality, and another unique fantastical world that lets me tell a story resonating with today.”
Although the team has already secured development funding, Sharkbomb Studios is using Kickstarter to expand the game’s scope. The campaign will support a deeper story, a larger card pool, more original music, and additional features. Backers will gain access to exclusive rewards, including early alpha access and opportunities to help design characters, cards, or relics.
With its strong focus on fast, tactical gameplay and a distinctive world, Crownbreakers stands out as a confident step forward for Nerurkar and his studio. You can head over to its official Kickstarter page and show some love and support.
