Press release:
Milan – March 2023.
The road to Shattered Heaven’s launch continues: the strategic Italian roguelike with card game fights and RPG mechanics is now closer to release. To fill the wait for this ambitious production, a new trailer has been released, focusing on gameplay and showcasing the main features available in the Early Access version.
Leonardo Interactive’s support, the publisher currently working on Daymare 1994: Sandcastle, has been crucial. Developed by the authors of Dry Drowning, an acclaimed investigative visual with dystopian and futuristic traits, Shattered Heaven confirms its intentions to keep high standards for the Italian developers’ landscape.
The new trailer offers a complete overview of the multifaceted gameplay loop, built on a solid roguelike foundation:
Tactical RPG fights: to face the enemies encountered on their path, Shattered Heaven’s heroes will have to improve their equipment and their strategy, thanks to a rich skill tree.
Exploration: the hostile world in which the game is set is introduced dungeon after dungeon, offering procedural challenges, traps, and treasures. No run will be the same.
Dynamic deck-building system: The three starting decks (one for each playable character) are customizable and can be modified during each run according to players’ preferences and style, without limits to experimentation. Fights will always be different one from another.
Crafting: during the expeditions, resources will be available to collect, and will also be available for purchase from in-game merchants. These will be useful for preparing potions and power-ups.
Equinox Cathedral: the base of operations from which expeditions will start, and also the location in which customization and power-ups will take place.
An ambitious narrative, enriched by the ability to craft one’s own path, complex challenges, replayability, freedom to experiment, and strategy are just some of the ingredients of the Shattered Heaven recipe. A free demo is already available for brave players who want a taste of the War of the Ascension. The contents of the game are continuously updated, reiterating Leonardo Productions’ aim to craft a complete, deep, and engaging title able to satisfy even the most hardcore gamers. And with this premise, all that is left is wishlisting Shattered Heaven on Steam!

About Leonardo Production
The inspiration born from the passion for narrating stories is what drove Leonardo Interactive to establish its first own development studio: Leonardo Production, an Italian studio focused on multi-branching story-driven games that blend RPGS, roguelites, dungeon crawlers and card games to create unique experiences that have great artistic and musical assets.
The core of the original studio was established in 2016 with its first title Dry Drowning, an award-winning dystopian detective story with a massive branching narrative. The sum of all these elements is Shattered Heaven, our first own-produced project.
