Description

About the Game

“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…

A convoluted mess of an arpg. Even the first area is so cumbersome to go through. You have to switch between two realms constantly just to pass through a linear dungeon. I bet the further you go, the more annoying this

Underrated ARPG. I hated the real time + pause in the old Baldur's Gate games, but this game somehow manages to combine ARPG mechanics with a party-based CRPG atmosphere. I don't remember much about the story, but the

The developers of this game clearly did NOT understand what makes ARPGs great. Everything what is great about the genre is just left out in this game. It's a super linear experience, there is literally no replayabilty,

Core gameplay is OK, but not amazing. Sadly, this game's idea of a puzzle is beyond sad. I had one just completely break and softlock and the main story quest tells you to "control your anger" by killing yourself. 3/10

This game made me realise that when I play a mediocre game, I should accept I'm not really enjoying it and move on, instead of painfully trying to complete the game at the expense of my limited personal time.

Karakterler ve yeteneklerinin çeşitli, atmosfer ve grafik hoş, hikaye ilgi çekici bir oyun. İngilizcesi biraz ağır geldi. Sık kullanılmayan kelimeler var. Hikayenin daha iyi anlaşılması için dublaj öneririm. Oynayış ve
