ShardPunk: Verminfall is an indie, turn-based, tactical squad, survival game with pixel graphics by Slawomir Bryk.

Excellent pixel graphics here, they really convey the look and feel of a SteamPunk/MagicPunk industrial city, the brownish wash all over everything hinting at the smog likely lurking in the stagnant air; and that is not all that lurks in the fallen city...

Escape the rat plague and lead your people out of the infested city, scavenge for supplies as you flee the pursuing ratmen, and try to keep everyone alive.
ShardPunk is clearly influenced by XCOM; this is a good thing. The Cover system, ability to set an Overwatch, and the Flanking mechanics, all there, and all awesome.

Additionally, according to the developer, it's a combination of XCOM and Darkest Dungeon; so I am eager to see the Darkest Dungeon influences as the game matures.
I foresee stress management being a key part of the game :).

Note: This is the tech Demo, not the full game.

Also, a strategy layer is planned, which lets you upgrade equipment, heal, and plan your path through the city.
