Overview

Shademarch is an asynchronous PvP autobattler from developer and publisher verdure games, released on November 9, 2026 for players who enjoy drafting, team building, and roguelite-style runs. You assemble heroes, skills, and items, then send your build into battle against the builds other players have left behind. Two modes shape the experience: The March, a longer campaign-style run, and The Arena, a fresh competitive draft each time.

Highlights

  • The March lets you pick four heroes and fight twelve rounds through one of five dungeons, with two heroes starting and the rest joining along the way.
  • The Arena resets every run, drafting from an even pool before climbing a rated ladder against other players' teams.
  • Asynchronous PvP means you fight other players' builds at your own pace, supported by 21 classes and a pixel-art presentation.

Who It's For

This one suits players who like planning a composition more than reacting in real time. If you enjoy autobattlers, party-based RPGs, and roguelite structure, the mix of drafting and ladder climbing should feel familiar. The workshop rest stops and vow system in deeper dungeons add decisions for those who want more pressure.
