From Shadows

From Shadows is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is a particularly badly made platformer, the best part is the graphics and they're not great. First and foremost it's worth mentioning that this is a bit of a bug riddled mess where you glitch, fall through the floor, and generally have a really bad time. The werewolf/vampire theme seemed like a great idea but even great ideas can't flourish when coupled with apallingly bad technical implementations. The game features simple, fairly basic 2D visuals, and while some effort went into them, and they don't look bad exactly, they don't look great, either. In the 3D era of gaming, that kicked off in the mid 1990's with dedicated 3D GPUs like the S3 Virge and ATI Rage, phoning in the graphics like this isn't going to win any awards or appeal to enthusiast PC gamers. Bewilderingly, while the game includes proper audio controls, [b]they don't work!![/b] So you can't turn off the annoying game audio (it's not very good), you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the game sounds using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not o…

Without a warning, nuclear armageddon!

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

From Shadows is a dark fantasy action-platformer that leans heavily into raw combat, oppressive atmosphere, and a grim aesthetic shaped by monsters, curses, and supernatural violence. Developed by Revolt and Rebel and published by Klabater, the game positions itself as a brutal journey through a corrupted world where only creatures born of darkness are capable of standing against a spreading evil. Rather than focusing on complex storytelling or layered lore, the game commits to delivering a relentless, combat-driven experience that emphasizes intensity, momentum, and survival. The narrative framework is intentionally minimal and functions mainly as a catalyst for action. The world has fallen under the influence of dark magic, and demonic forces now roam freely, overwhelming anything human. In response, two unlikely champions emerge: a savage werewolf fueled by rage and brute strength, and a calculating vampire who relies on speed and precision. Guided by a mysterious mentor figure, the duo pushes deeper into cursed lands to confront the source of the corruption. The story is conveyed sparingly, allowing the environment, enemy design, and sheer hostility of the world to communicate…
