About Shadowkin
You play as two lowly minions to the Dark Lord, tasked with becoming stronger and conquering worlds.
You may play Singleplayer and be accompanied by your Ally (AI controlled), or play with a friend in 2 Player Local Coop via Steam RemotePlay. Together, you will synergize your builds and work together to vanquish those who would stand in your way.
Annihilate your foes with a variety of auto-attacking abilities, ranging from fireballs and boomerangs to exploding ice sculptures and pushable boulders. Throughout your quest, you will be offered unique relics to further empower your abilities. Gifts from the Dark Lord. Use them well.
From the creator of Nomad Survival, this is a Bullet Heaven unlike any you've seen before.

TAKE OVER THE WORLD

- Each run is unique, with each room presenting various risks and rewards!
- Acquire relics to aid you in various ways throughout your playthrough, modifying the behavior of your abilities and more!
- Take on a boss fight that awaits you in the final area of every zone. Each boss has their own special attacks and abilities!

- Become stronger between runs through meta upgrades in the form of a skill tree!

The game was good at first, sadly I can't recommend it as I refuse to support this dev. He makes a game, doesn't finish it and never solves bugs, lashes out at the community for any critisisme and then abandons their games and makes a new cashgrab with the excuse that they are burned out. It's just a scam at this point and the dev should be banned from steam.21 found this helpful
its actualy pretty good, but it feels unfinished and its seems like the dev have droped the project, sadly...6 found this helpful
simply not fun. its difficult but not in a challenging your skill way. AoE and enemy projectiles are often impossible to avoid. i feel like im just trying to delay my inevitable failure as long as possible.4 found this helpful
This is a hard negative review cause it feels like the kind of game I would make but in the end, it's not really a great roguelike. - The meta is underwhelming to say the least. It doesn't have a significant impact of the gameplay. - Only 2 "classes" (characters, really), one range, one melee. The melee one cannot be properly played manually cause you just take too much damage too quickly so it is relayed to the AI thus you only play the range class. - The controls are weird. I don't know if it's my setup (nothing out of the ordinary to be honest) but if I play with the controller, I can't see what the items or skills do because I have to mouseover to make the tooltips appear(?!?). First time I've ever seen that. - Once you've beaten the game, there is no point in doing it again. The bosses are the same, the skills are the same, the stages are... you get it. There are some plusses though : - The AI part is a good idea. I just wished it would be used in additional ways. For now it's only "AI should be near you" or "AI should be far away". The controls for the AI are really simple but they work properly and the AI will become your second character if your main dies. It will al…3 found this helpful
It [b]doesn't[/b] have cloud save! (lost all progress after doing a clean install of windows) For some reason the game creates a save file and throws it in the bin when you play it for the first time, the binned file is not importent and can be cleared no problem. There are only 2 playable characters and the difference is basically if you want a melee or ranged first ability, this is really boring in the long run. There are not a whole lot of abilities, no modifiers/stats for level ups so builds are very limited for those reasons. The game is cheap though, so if you really want one more "survivor-like" then go for it. bonus points for multiplayer but the AI companion is completely immune so...1 found this helpful
Okayish, enough content. Sadly, the game doesn't remember settings / which characters were selected for the run previously. Not to mention that obnoxious ad at the game startup... and imho, their older game Nomad Survival is better overall.
