Stinger returned home one morning after a night out of town to a horrible surprise. A mysterious force had destroyed his coastal hometown, leaving few survivors. Unable to even determine the remains of his own house, the young man was now an orphan. Upon meeting a mystic named Windleaf, the two decided to embark upon a journey to find out what happened.
Their adventure in Shadow Madness will span across the entire fantastic world of Arkose, even to the unexplored area known as Wyldern. Meeting up with four other unique warriors along the way (the droid-like Harv-5, a magical floating head named Xero Von Moon, a cyborg-like Gadgeteer called Clemett and Wyldern-native Jirina), the group strives to seek out and destroy the source of Arkose's destruction.

I understand that it is more or...

loved the game as a kid. this port is near unplayable. some screen res options and controller support is needed. then, we'll have a winner.
I loved this game growing up so I was excited to learn it was released on pc last year on my bday, but sadly as i started playing i became disappointed. its merely bleem and the games iso patched together in an exe. I probably wouldnt mind it if bleem's emulation was good but it isn't.I would buy this again if it was a native port and not a emulated...
