Shadow Fate is an epic JRPG that fuses the best traditional elements of the genre with modern gaming sensibilities. Its story is rich and complex with deep characterization. Relationships between the members of the main cast evolve and grow throughout the game’s approximate playtime of 40 hours. All enemy encounters are visible on screen – no more random whooshes! Combat is intricate and challenging but immensely fun and satisfying, relying more on intelligent choices than repetitive grinding. The vast open game world is entirely comprised of ‘real’ maps that achieve unprecedented levels of immersion in the environments. In the city of Atro, a clandestine organization dedicated to vengeance has recruited a supernatural being known as a ‘shadow spawn’. Unburdened by a human soul and composed of pure darkness, his incredible powers make him an unparalleled killer. When the immortal leader of the Vengeance Guild reawakens, she sends the shadow spawn on a mission that will forever change his destiny, and that of the world too. The story of Shadow Fate will take you from an urban metropolis to snowy tundras to arid deserts and many locales in-between. It will take shocking and dramatic turns as an epic conflict unfolds. Alongside the grand main story, the characters you meet and team up with will become a dysfunctional family, providing smaller, more intimate moments in the plot.Alongside the battles, the player’s choice of party (max of 3 characters) will change the way they explore the environments in the game! The 8 characters in the game all have ‘exploration skills’, ranging from telekinetically floating out of range treasure chests, to charming on screen enemies, to speaking with the dead for hints about the current dungeon. Bringing certain characters along with you will open up new options and provides great replayability of previously visited areas.
