GOG offers an action RPG worth 30 euros

Shadows: Awakening was developed by Games Farm and published by Kalypso Media in August 2018. It is an isometric action RPG in which players take on the role of a Devourer – a demon who can devour the souls of deceased heroes. The game begins when the Penta Nera, a group of powerful sorcerers, has been killed. But their souls are not destroyed, but rather captured by the predator.

As a Devourer, players can switch between different spirits, with each spirit, also known as a “puppet”, representing its hero with individual abilities. This adds a tactical layer to the dynamic combat system. One of the main elements of the game is switching between the real world and the shadow world. The Devourer can move between these worlds to solve puzzles and discover hidden dangers.

Players explore heretical kingdoms, solve puzzles by switching between the real world and the shadow world, and fight demons, dead or magical creatures. The goal is to uncover the dark secrets behind the Penta Nera order and save the world from demonic forces. According to GOG, the play time is about 38 hours.

When I was a kid in the 90s, the Gameboy was my constant companion. After school the PlayStation was on. When I finally got my first computer, it was all over me. My passion for gaming has never waned since then. For me, writing for Notebookcheck means reporting on topics that are very close to my heart – in addition to games, I also like to talk about e-mobility, photovoltaics or innovative gadgets. When I'm not sitting in front of the computer, I'm probably doing water rescue work on the Baltic Sea coast or trying to confront the dark side of my obsessive life – sitting for long periods of time – at the local swimming pool.
