    It´s the perfect mix between Divinity Original Sin and Diablo, but it could be a little more polished with the hub and graphics options.
    You will have a really good time with this game

    An excellent game to get started in the genre of hack and slash games. You can only have 4 types of fighters, warriors, wizards and archers, and a fourth fighter that is a demon. The interesting thing is that each class has a great variety of characters with variants in each class. The graphics are pretty good, the character design is compliant and the story is quite entertaining. TheAn excellent game to get started in the genre of hack and slash games.

The mechanics of jumping between the underworld and the real world works quite well, and it gives a lot for the puzzles that you find in the different dungeons. The puzzles are interesting but they do not get to be very difficult. For me it is a game worth playing.… Expand

    Very good game with a interesting twist of usual ARPG style. Instant switch between demon and his puppets mid combat gives you some serious tactical opportunities and interesting possibilities in story.
    Just mind that when you start, you will have to choose one of three possible puppets - this one will be "bound" to you. You will be able to play his/her quest line and won't be able to    Very good game with a interesting twist of usual ARPG style.

    Très agréablement surprise par ce RPG en vue isométrique que je recommande vivement! Tout d'abord, graphiquement, c'est vraiment très joli : le monde matériel et le monde immatériel sont très bien rendus. Les personnages sont très bien modélisés et on sent bien qu'une attention toute particulière a été apportée à leurs animations.

Tout d'abord, graphiquement, c'est vraiment très joli : le monde matériel et le monde immatériel sont très bien rendus. Les personnages sont très bien modélisés et on sent bien qu'une attention toute particulière a été apportée à leurs animations. Le gameplay, nécessitant de jongler continuellement entre le dévoreur et les personnages qu'il contrôle, est vraiment très bien pensé car il permet de combiner leurs capacités. Chacun des personnages a son propre inventaire, ses armes et armures spécifiques à sa classe, ses compétences et son histoire personnelle. Le lore n'est pas en reste, avec une histoire très captivante et que l'on sent plus profonde qu'il n'y parait: on embarque pour une aventure longue et épique. Mention spéciale à la BO SUBLIME avec ses musiques envoûtantes qui bénéficient même d'une variante lorsque l'on passe dans le monde immatériel.
    Encore un jeu qui n'a pas bénéficié de la promotion qu'il aurait mérité! Une vraie perle!

    p.s. contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire dans d'autres évaluations, j'y joue avec une manette XboX et les contrôles et la maniabilité sont au top! Pas d'inquiétude par rapport à ça ;)    … Expand

    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.
