Shadows: Awakening is a game published by Kalypso Media and released on Steam on August 31, 2018. You play as the Devourer and must face enemies in tactical real-time battles while traveling between worlds to solve puzzles.
Shadows: Awakening is an RPG developed by Games Farm set in a dark fantasy universe. With a main story that lasts around 21 hours, according to HowLongToBeat, you can choose from three different heroes, each with their own stories and special abilities.
As the Devourer, a demon that can devour the souls of 14 playable characters, your goal is to confront the forces threatening the Heretic Kingdoms, and to do so, you can combine your characters' abilities. This will allow you to make the most of your powers in tactical real-time battles.
But you'll also have to solve puzzles. Each puzzle can lead you to different locations where you can find valuable loot. Finally, you can switch between the Shadow Realm and the Mortal Realm whenever you want, allowing you to uncover hidden dangers or solve puzzles.

On Steam, where it enjoys a 74% positive rating based on more than 2,490 reviews, players highlight the game's world and atmosphere, as well as features such as the ability to switch between worlds. In addition, some players feel that it offers good replay value. Nevertheless, the story is often criticized and doesn't stand out from similar RPGs. Some puzzles are considered too difficult, and the camera is also one of the game's weaknesses.
Currently, Shadows: Awakening is once again 90% off on Steam and available for $2.99 instead of $29.99. However, according to SteamDB, this offer ends on September 14, 2026.
