    Not good.

    First, it plays like a console game so if you're not using a controller, it feels terrible. Even with a controller, it still feels awkward due to constantly switching between characters. Second, and more importantly, the "puzzles" are absolutely terrible and not fun. I actually stopped playing the game because of these horrible, dumb time wasters. There are other    Not good.

    There are other problems too, like ability cooldowns being too long and such, but they pale in comparison to the first two.    … Expand

    Anyone wants to have fun in this game, don't choose highest difficulty.
    Melee protagonist like Kalig will be destroyed in a heartbeat in any boss fight.
    Its mechanism is very poorly balanced, unfortunately only range character has higher chance to survive. Combat seems pretty weak and boring, most of the time is nothing but hit-and-run. Overall, it turns out being too bland and a shame    Anyone wants to have fun in this game, don't choose highest difficulty.

    An interesting take on the isometric ARPG, Shadows: Awakening provides a short romp through the main campaign with three different endings providing some limited replayability.

    Clever gameplay with changing worlds drives the action role-playing game, but long-term motivation fails to appear.

    Shadows Awakening is a solid ARPG with a deep lore and engaging story. Tragically, a few outdated elements bog down its fun and unique combat system.
