Shadows: Awakening Reviews
Shadows: Awakening inherits Vikings‘ repetitive and gimmicky boss fights, while its shifting rules and general inability to explain how certain things work can turn its frequent puzzles into a slog. Add a slow movement speed and too few teleport points on top of that, and you have a game that, while enjoyable overall, fails to live up to its potential.
Shadows: Awakening contains enough elements to put itself as an enjoyable alternative within isometric RPGs, being history, strategic combat and visuals its strengths.

Shadows: Awakening attempts to stray away from being a typical ARPG but lacks the juice to keep things interesting until its closing moments.
In truth I've laboured too long on the negatives. Shadows: Awakening is a brilliantly viable alternative to Diablo with plenty of ideas that hold up in their own right. Add in alternative endings and LOADS of content and you'll be there for hours.
