As such, any kind of confrontation cannot occur at all meaning that your options are expressly limited to sneaking past your foes, or, bludgeoning/stabbing them into the next life to achieve the same result. Somewhat annoyingly, the developers have taken the notion of stealth absolutely to the letter merely being spotted by a guard is enough to trigger an instant fail state and a pad-squeezing game ending condition. Additionally, those same objects, when shoved from a height, can be used to incapacitate guards in somewhat permanent fashion, too. In the case of the latter, the developer’s obsession with physics based objects first seen in the Trine games bleeds over here, as Shadwen can knock over vases, push crates and knock over bales of hay to create the necessary distraction to allow you to slip past. Throwing a wrench into the proceedings is a little girl called Lily, who must be protected both from harm and from the apparently violent excesses of Shadwen herself, with the game splitting off into two different endings depending on whether or not you elect to distract or simply murder your enemies.Īs Shadwen, your main goal in each area is to clear a path, either through means of assassination or misdirection so that the pint-sized Lily can reach the exit. A fantasy storylineįor the curious, the plot for Shadwen boils down to this cast as the titular assassin, players must find their way to a nefarious king so that he might be stabbed all the way up in an attempt to spare a downtrodden fantasy kingdom from enduring any more of his sadistic reign. If there is one area where the visuals fare better it’s in the cut scenes an attractive menagerie of hand-drawn illustrations which have quite clearly been sketched with a great deal of love, their presence serves as the sole highlight in what is otherwise a technically disappointing effort. From a technical perspective then, Shadwen stands as a far cry from the refined visual opulence of the Trine games for which the developer is known.
