Fully voiced isometric RPG with deep story, mutliple characters, breathtaking visuals and unique features brings fresh wind into RPG games...

Reception

This game is beautifully made, voice overs are great, quests, loot, crafting. But what is at the heart of every game like this, combat.

For me this is where the game literally...

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 from the beginning. It's not worth buying, it's better to buy Shadows: Awaking - the same game with better graphic, it includes Shadows:...

There’s actually locked doors and three quests in part 1 that can only be opened in the retail edition. It’s not available on the steam version, even to earliest of the early adaptors like myself. And there's nothing in the game to tell you...

I have played this game for four hours at this point and am unsure whether to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down. This may be a product of not playing the game enough but in most games I play, by 4 hours you usually know where the game is going. So this is what I know so far and what I believe people will find useful if they are looking at buying this...
