AVOID THIS GAME. EVERYTHING IN THIS GAME IS CONTAINED IN SHADOWS: AWAKENING . This game is only the first half of Shadows: Awakening, which is the full game. EDIT: I only just saw the updates from the comments below.

It's very nice game. Playing it was fun, but the most important thing is that this game is NOT FULL version. It ends in the middle of the story. To play next chapter you have to have Shadows: Awaking and start that game

Game is awesome... but it's only 1/3 of game. Full game is Shadows: Awakening. I ended the game at lvl 17 and there is nothing left to do... And guess what? They didn't remove achievements for obtaining lvl 20 and 30 xD

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME! This game has a lot of potential. But, unfortunately, I just can't get past the horrible combat system. You basically "Click" on an enemy to target them (or try to), but there is no target

Half way through the game I have read that there is "Awakening" which includes this game and chapter II as continuation with newer engine. WTF. So I never finished the game. Still it is a good diablo-style RPG.
