Compare Shadoworlds prices across 50+ stores and find the best deal. Developed by Krisalis Software. Published by Ziggurat. Released on 6/4/2021. Available on PC. Genres: Adventure, RPG, Strategy.

Squad-based sci-fi action RPG that bites off more than it chews, interesting tactical bones buried under muddled execution and opaque mechanics.

Shadoworlds puts you in command of a four-person team exploring a darkened research facility. The isometric view and squad controls suggest tactical depth, but the game suffers from unclear feedback loops and UI that assumes you'll reverse-engineer how abilities work. Enemy placement and turn order aren't always obvious, and the mystery unfolding around the facility's purpose moves glacially. If you're willing to tolerate sluggish pacing and tutorial-free learning curves, there's a competent tactical skeleton here. The problem is that "competent" doesn't justify the friction. Build variety exists but stays opaque, and AI teammates feel more like meat shields than squad members. It's a game that needed another year in the oven. Diego, Scout Team
