Ereban: Shadow Legacy Reviews
If you're looking for a stealth game to try out, then Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a strong option. While the story is far from a masterpiece, it does its part and serves as a solid catalyst for the player's shadow powers and allows the player's perspective to be challenged.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a better 3D platformer than it is a stealth game.
If you're looking for a non-violent stealth game, though, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a straightforward, mostly uncluttered challenge.
The production, which tells of a world ruled by megacorporations, involves and strikes in an unexpected way, leveraging complex themes and situations, while expertly detailing the story of Ayana, a young woman in difficulty on a razor's edge. Eraban: Shadow Legacy, a story characterized by many positive elements, is a work that does its own, committing itself to creating good gameplay.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy cleverly uses popular mechanics from other games in a stealth adventure title that feels familiar yet fresh.
More interesting abilities and skill trees that don't boil down to just controlling enemy movements or taking them out from a distance would go a long way – maybe the ability to create shadows to cross gaps or manipulate light, which could be used for combat and exploration.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a small, in the truest sense of the term, love letter to stealth that doesn't try to do anything particular to stand out within the genre, but everything it offers to players is a simple gameplay, curious in its ideas, attempting to win over enthusiasts with its modest purity. It's the classic independent production without infamy or praise that manages, in its own small way, to shine within a landscape that increasingly lacks representatives of the genre that are capable of doing something truly interesting for stealth.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a great, new entry into the stealth action genre. At around 6 hours to complete the story it doesn't outstay its welcome. I didn't get anywhere near all of the collectibles or upgrades on my initial run-through, and there are three endings to unlock, so there's plenty of replay value.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a commendable homage to classic stealth games and brings a satisfying twist to the genre with its original Shadow Merge mechanic.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a game that tries to do a lot, but is only at its best in being a great game to play. While having a story component that feels mostly unnecessary to the experience and is not going to be what I recommend buying the game for. The shadow form mechanic is so interwoven into the entire game, from the enemies to the gadgets, and upgrades in-between. With so many awesome open area levels and expertly designed closed-in ones, I loved my experience in Ereban: Shadow Legacy. I just wish there was less noise, and more allowing me to just slither around and enjoy its gameplay endlessly.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is another example of how easy it is to overlook small, interesting projects from independent studios in the industry, as blockbusters tend to get all the attention. Ereban: Shadow Legacy will appeal especially to those who want to try a game with stealth gameplay that is not overly punishing and allows them to experiment with our creativity and skill.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy, developed by a small studio, offers intriguing stealth gameplay similar to Aragami, with a mysterious story and impactful choices, though it could benefit from more character development and freedom in its short, linear levels.

Ereban’s vibrant landscapes pulse with life as NPCs bustle about, engaging in their own conversations and routines, further drawing you in with the sounds of the world around you. Their presence not only enriches the immersive world but also serves as a poignant reminder of Ayana’s solitary struggle against overwhelming odds.
For aficionados of stealth platformers, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is certainly easy to recommend.
It's a very good indie game for a debut title.
This review will likely read like I’m very negative toward Ereban: Shadow Legacy, so let me clarify: I think it’s fine. The trouble is that games that are just “fine” can be hard to talk about without coming across as being very negative. As a debut title from a new studio, Shadow Legacy is very competent in its design, and seems to derive a lot of inspiration from Aragami, even including a nice easter egg. But I also struggle to find anything exciting to talk about with it, and that may simply be because I’m not the best audience for it. Someone who hasn’t played many stealth games will probably enjoy it far more, as might an experienced sneaky bastard find its simplicity and easiness a nice change of pace.
Ereban Shadow Legacy ambitiously attempts to juggle multiple elements and succeeds in most areas, yet it is ultimately hindered by its lack of refinement. With its prominent features, it leans more toward a 3D platformer rather than a game rooted in the Stealth genre. Nonetheless, its emphasis on level design and a variety of unique gameplay mechanics, despite a lackluster plot, renders it an enjoyable experience.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy breathes new life into the stealth genre, filling a void left by the absence of more substantial titles. Its remarkably simple yet effective stealth mechanics will draw you into its addictive gameplay.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a must-play for fans of the stealth and platforming genres, offering a compelling narrative, and engaging stealth gameplay. With its captivating storyline, challenging gameplay mechanics, and stunning visuals and audio, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a huge win for indie stealth platformers. Ereban: Shadow Legacy promises an unforgettable journey filled with intrigue, suspense, and discovery.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a great addition to the stealth genre. Subverting expectations with a well-lit area being the most dangerous possible. The story is engaging and works as an excellent backdrop to the great gameplay. The movement is swift and exciting, and the combat is really well implemented. The world feels real and fleshed out, while also being fun and stylized with the cell shading graphics. Ereban: Shadow Legacy is well worth playing, being a great introduction to more stealthy games.
