This pathetic semblance of a game cannot even be called a finished game. This is pure and simple the early unfinished version of Shadows: Awakening. You can't pass achievements and some tasks, not everything is given to you by the dlc and full of bugs and unfinished things. And they have the audacity to sell it at this price and they sell it anyway. Given that they sell the whole game separately from this one at the same price. Shame on you creators and also Steam for allowing these things.2 found this helpful

You play as the Devourer, a demon bound to the souls of fallen heroes, who can assume their forms and use their unique abilities. This dual-world, multi-character system is the heart of the game and provides a genuinely fresh experience within the ARPG landscape.

The world is fractured by war, mysticism, and the lingering influence of a secretive order called the Penta Nera. What gives the story an edge is its premise: instead of being a hero destined to save the world, you are a demon who manipulates events from behind the scenes. The game offers various heroes to resurrect, each with their own backstory, motivations, and fighting styles. Through their eyes—and through the…
