Shadow Trick Gameplay:

As the title suggests, you play a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to solve puzzles. This core mechanic is cleverly utilized throughout the game. Players seamlessly switch between physical and shadow forms to navigate obstacles, bypass traps, and outwit enemies.

The game unfolds within a magical castle, teeming with diverse environments, hidden perils, and challenging bosses. Across 24 levels, players hunt for three moon crystals per level, essential for unlocking the complete game ending. Mastering the bosses without taking damage is key to collecting all 72 crystals. Expect some tricky encounters – for instance, the red ghost's ability to vanish and reappear adds a layer of strategic depth.

Shadow Trick boasts varied environments, including aquatic levels requiring shadow-form navigation and unique encounters with bizarre fish bosses.

Worth a Play?

Shadow Trick's retro pixel art visuals are captivating, especially for fans of that style. The charming environments and upbeat chiptune soundtrack add to the overall appeal. Available now on the Google Play Store, it's a worthwhile download for platforming enthusiasts.
