Shadows: Awakening

Shadows: Awakening, also known as the follow-up to Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, is an action RPG that tosses you into a dark fantasy world from an isometric view. You don’t just pick one hero—you get to juggle three at once, swapping between them as you explore, fight, and solve quests. If you like the idea of a demon protagonist who absorbs souls, this game has you covered. The mix of real-time combat with character-switching keeps the gameplay fresh, even if some parts feel a bit familiar.

What’s It About?

You play as a Devourer, a demon who can pull souls into your team. Your squad of heroes isn’t fixed—you get to choose three from a roster of 15. That means you can mix and match skills to fit your style. The story isn’t just “kill bad guys.” There are choices that actually matter. Want to play the hero? Or the chaos-bringer? It’s up to you.

Gameplay Highlights

• Switch freely between three characters during combat – lesson learned: always have a backup plan.
• Explore diverse locations with plenty of loot and secrets to find.
• Upgrade and craft your gear to keep up with tougher foes.
• Each hero has unique abilities that change how you fight.

Visuals and Sound

The graphics won’t win any awards but don’t expect to be bored. Spell effects and character designs stand out when it counts. Music and voice acting add atmosphere without going overboard. Think of it as a solid backdrop that keeps you in the mood for adventure.
