Shadowstone
Shadowstone is a run-based experience where players take command of multiple heroes on a quest to escape monster-ridden ruins and save their corrupted realm from dark magic. Deliberate positioning and manipulation of elements in each encounter is core to the turn-based tactical gameplay of Shadowstone. Survival hinges on utilizing your hero's unique skills such as using the Witch's ability to duplicate healing and exploding mushrooms or the Berserker's charge to displace enemies into dangerous lava.
- Master Tactical Gameplay: Navigate each battlefield with deliberate positioning in the turn-based tactical gameplay of Shadowstone. Achieve victory by using each hero's unique skills, such as duplicating items as the Witch or charging as the Berserker to displace enemies into dangerous lava.
- Endless Combinations to Play: Each attempt to escape the shadowstone-infested ruins presents a new nightmare with an endless array of randomized rooms and monsters. Every run requires its own strategy based on a constantly evolving pool of skill cards, versatile equipment, and adaptive powerups.
- Powerful Hero Synergies: Build powerful synergies by upgrading and selecting complementary spells across heroes. Execute complex multi-hero ability combinations to devastate enemy monsters.
- 1-4 Player Co-op: Take command of multiple heroes solo, or band together with up to four friends in online multiplayer. Mastering the strengths and weaknesses of different party compositions is essential to survive against the horrors shrouded in shadowstone power.
