Shadoworlds
Squad-based sci-fi action RPG that bites off more than it chews, interesting tactical bones buried under muddled execution and opaque mechanics.
GamerScout Verdict
Niche tactical mechanics buried under poor onboarding and muddled feedback, pass unless you enjoy reverse-engineering games.
Compare Prices(4 stores)
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 Shadoworlds
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.
