Shadows: Awakening is the new adventure in the Heretic Kingdoms saga. After the members of the secret council known as the Penta Nera are assassinated, their souls are consumed by the Devourers – evil demons which possess the ability to absorb the memories and personalities of the souls they acquire and materialize them as their puppets. Re-emerging into the mortal realm once again, the demonic Penta Nera continue their quest for power and immortality, but at what cost?

Shadows: Awakening is a unique, isometric single-player RPG with real-time tactical combat. You take control of a demon summoned from the Shadow Realm – the Devourer – to consume the souls of long-dead heroes and embark on an epic adventure with challenging gameplay, a gripping storyline and enchanting graphics. Do you have the focus and wits to master the world of the Heretic Kingdoms? Gather your party, control powerful heroes and use their skills to your advantage. But who is in charge… the demon, or the souls that it has devoured? It's up to you to either thwart a major threat and save the world, or to plunge it into complete disaster…

Glad the game was free

I really disliked most of the puzzles this game offers. Why would anyone build a wall of fire traps to keep someone/something out and then put the lever to turn off the fire traps right at the entrance? And then have the lever turn off only 1-2 traps on the wall at a time as you slowly walk the corridor waiting for the next flame to turn off? What is even the point of this? There's nothing to figure out with this puzzle, other than how dumb this idea was. Also dying is not a puzzle, especially without any clues pointing out that maybe you should just go ahead and die instead of running in a circle for 5 minutes. There were a few genuine puzzles but mostly those just involve figuring out which piece of a circle goes where and how to get it there. The rest are just pull a series of levers in a specific order at the right times. I also didn't like how they didn't give more indication on one of the puppet choices. It's simply go one way you get this guy, head the other direction and you get the other. They don't give any clues that you would get locked into a puppet or what either puppet would be like. I like making choices, I don't like the game hiding choices behind arbituary actions/dialogues. Other than those main gripes, the combat was lackluster, the skills lackluster, and the loot lackluster with not much to say postive, or negative, about them. Mostly it's a meh game with a lot of annoyances that seem to be there just to annoy the player.
