Shadow of the Orient
A pixel-art action platformer where you slash through samurai and mythical beasts to rescue kidnapped children. Tight combat and controller support make this a lean, focused 2D adventure.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for pixel-art action fans who want honest difficulty and no filler, but expect limited enemy variety and straightforward stage design.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Shadow of the Orient
I've put a few hours into Shadow of the Orient, and it's a straightforward 2D action platformer with solid fundamentals. You play as Xiaolang, hacking through waves of samurai and mythical creatures across multiple stages. The pixel art is clean and readable, combat feedback is snappy, and controller support works well. There's no bloat here, just level-to-level progression with increasing difficulty. What holds it back is the lack of depth. Stages follow a predictable pattern, enemy variety is limited, and the story beats don't add much weight to the rescue mission framing. It's the kind of game that scratches a specific itch: players who want a no-nonsense action platformer with honest difficulty and solid sprite work will find exactly that. Anyone hunting for narrative depth or complex mechanics should look elsewhere.
