The original design of the never-before seen point and click adventure is being brought to life after 30+ years in the vault - Beyond Shadowgate! This new massive PC game is being created by the designers of the original 8-bit hit Shadowgate and a leading 8-bit adventure studio!
I loved Shadowgate for the NES and this game finally lives up to it. Its got that classic fantasy nerdery that I love. The pixel art is great. The puzzles are good and not too obtuse except for a few but that's expected of any adventure game. You WILL die a lot but don't worry you won't lose any progress. You'll just get booted back to the previous...
This game has a lot of nostalgia for me. It's increased size is great and all the random ways to die are awesome. Only one wasn't predictable so far, but the rest are not so predictable that it diminishes the game. I have no idea how far through the game I am yet, but I haven't felt so stuck yet so that I got too frustrated that I wanted to look up...
Having a great experience so far, I am enjoying the similarities of the art and layouts. I thought that the timed events were a great addition that adds a lot to the whole vibe of the gameplay. However, I did note it to be a lot more linear with a bit too much hand-holding, along with back and forth fetching items for people, which can get a little...
What a great flashback of a game! From the retro game play to the music and the game guide DLC. Thanks!
If you have any interest in all in the classic MacVenture games on NES (or Shadowgate, or any classic point-and-click games), this love letter to all of those is an absolute must-play. Soundtrack slaps!
