About Shadoworlds
Deafening silence in the deep darkness of space.
The Magna 6 system is home to the most advanced weapons lab the universe has ever known. Two months ago, communications with the orbiting facility mysteriously went dead without any warning. If the cutting edge weapons in the station were to fall into the wrong hands, the results would be cataclysmic. Knowing that quick action is necessary, but unaware of what terrors might have caused the break in communication, you are called in to lead a small team of brave but expendable explorers through the imperiled space station with a mission to ascertain the fate of its crew.
Krisalis Software and Teque London’s gripping isometric squad-based sci-fi action RPG follows your team of four explorers as they trek through the dark environments of the Weapons Research Facility to uncover the mystery of what went wrong. Each member of the team is chosen by the player based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their personality and individual history. As the leader of the unit, you have full control over the inventories and actions of your squad, even down to deciding when to use headlamps to illuminate the darkness. But watch out – the inky blackness of space hides friend and foe alike.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Wow was super pleased to see this game pop up on Steam. This is a throwback to my old Amiga days playing this and it's predecessor Shadowlands (Which is yet to appear here on Steam at time of writing). For the uninitiated or younger folk, the game play can be very unforgivable (think Darksouls unforgivable) and can become frustrating FAST. With no tutorial or other settings I recommend downloading a copy of the old manual. It's important to note being a straight up dos box port this is not a recreation, but the game in all it's original format and glory. As I'm sure a remaster of this game would take it to a whole new level, the fact it's untouched hits the nostalgia feels hard. 10 out of 10 - look forward to getting frustrated with this game again some 27 years later.24 found this helpful
