An AWESOME turn based tactical strategy game. The game is 2 decade old but graphics & mechanics are worth it.12 found this helpful
I just can't. Maybe if the resolution options wouldn't be 4:3. Maybe if the controls were not so clunky. Overall a very unpleasent experience, and I have a feeling that the story isn't that great either. I love the nostalgia, but that alone doesn't carry it for me.8 found this helpful
Bought nostalgia for a few bucks 👍 A Beautiful and Simple strategy game without much complications..5 found this helpful
The difficulty curve is more like a brick wall. There is minimal guidance on what to do, how to do it, or what you CAN even do. The tutorial is virtually useless. On top of that, the user interface is downright terrible, even considering it's a 20 year old game. And the English is incomprehensible. A lot of people commented on the nostalgia factor of this game, but I just don't see it. It's just plain not good.3 found this helpful

Developed by Mayhem Studios, ZOOM Platform Media, and Jordan Freeman Group and published by Strategy First, Shadow Vault revives a classic tactical role-playing experience that places strategy ahead of spectacle. Set in a grim alternate future where nuclear devastation has reshaped civilization, the game follows a desperate resistance movement fighting against the powerful Contingent, an oppressive force that dominates the wasteland through advanced technology and genetically altered soldiers. Rather than relying on cinematic storytelling, the game builds its narrative through its missions, environments, and the gradual uncovering of humanity's struggle for survival. The setting effectively captures the loneliness and uncertainty of a broken world, creating an atmosphere that complements its methodical pace. The campaign centers on assembling and commanding a squad of survivors, each bringing specialized skills that influence how missions unfold. Success depends on planning every encounter with care, as charging headfirst into combat usually leads to costly mistakes. The game offers a respectable selection of unit classes, allowing players to field medics, engineers, heavy weapons…1 found this helpful
