About Shadows: Awakening

✦ AI summary

Control a demon that consumes the souls of fallen heroes, commanding them in real-time tactical combat across a dark fantasy world where the line between puppet and master blurs. This isometric RPG offers challenging gameplay and a gripping story where your choices determine whether you save the Heretic Kingdoms or doom them to darkness.

“An ancient proverb warns: ‘Never trust a demon, for betrayal is their very blood’.
Yet the Sura, the great ogres of the Wastes, have a different saying: ‘A demon honours its pact’. Perhaps when the race of men looks into the eyes of hell, they see their own darkness reflected…”


– Carissa Cantrecht

Shadows: Awakening is the new adventure in the Heretic Kingdoms saga. After the members of the secret council known as the Penta Nera are assassinated, their souls are consumed by the Devourers – evil demons which possess the ability to absorb the memories and personalities of the souls they acquire and materialize them as their puppets. Re-emerging into the mortal realm once again, the demonic Penta Nera continue their quest for power and immortality, but at what cost?

Shadows: Awakening is a unique, isometric single-player RPG with real-time tactical combat. You take control of a demon summoned from the Shadow Realm – the Devourer – to consume the souls of long-dead heroes and embark on an epic adventure with challenging gameplay, a gripping storyline and enchanting graphics. Do you have the focus and wits to master the world of the Heretic Kingdoms? Gather your party, control powerful heroes and use their skills to your advantage. But who is in charge… the demon, or the souls that it has devoured? It's up to you to either thwart a major threat and save the world, or to plunge it into complete disaster…

Another ARPG that asks you to beat the game without dying. Why would I ever want to do that... you know what else is hardcore: REAL LIFE! Why would I want to play a game and treat is like every step is life or death. If you really enjoy hardcore gaming, great, I don't...

Review for character and story players: Score: 8.0 Overview: I originally bought this game not realizing it was the same developer as Viking: Wolves of Midgard, and when I realized it was, and after such a polarizing experience prior to abandoning Vikings, I fully expected this game to fail to meet my expectations and be a quick removal from my active game list. I have to say though, this game is an upgrade in every conceivable way, and the comparison is so drastic, if I didn't know the same developer name was attached, I would never have known. If you felt Vikings was a huge turnoff, like I did, don't do yourself a disservice by dismissing this game, as the quality comparison is an unprecedented improvement over their first title, and a rare thing to experience as even with iteration over a decade of games, I've never really had a developer improve as much as this developer has - there is really no comparison regarding Vikings as this game is on an entirely different level. Characters and Story: The characters are honestly very compelling for an ARPG, and arguable very well written even compared to more narrative drive RPGs in my opinion, and they really drive attachment and a…

A lot better than the Xbox version in terms of FPS, graphics and absence of bugs. Its an under rated gem.

For those that like unique hack and slash, I think you should try it. There is more to this game then one would think.
