- 8.6The Shadow Sun truly impressed me by sizing down a complete RPG experience into mobile, featuring familiar and accessible controls for anyone who’s played a console action RPG, a great soundtrack, solid action, a ton of customization options, and a truly deep RPG experience. Yet, bringing a complete console and PC RPG experience doesn’t translate as well on mobile, as you’ll encounter some targeting issues, laborious looting options, and customizing your character later feels like a chore. However, action RPG fans won’t go wrong with going through The Shadow Sun, as the game truly shines.
- The Shadow Sun is an excellent game that refines games like Aralon and adds in a lot of player choice and a much more coherent plot. With loads of fun questing on offer and a complete dearth of in app purchases The Shadow Sun is a fantastic game with a few foibles that need tightening.
- Though its brevity results in a number of shortfalls, The Shadow Sun remains an excellent mobile role-playing game that both RPG fans and non-fans will undoubtedly enjoy.
- 8.5While environmental designs and graphics look amazing at times, close-ups on characters make them look less than flattering. This is especially true of some of the larger characters that you’ll meet in the narrative.
- So the original question remains: Is Shadow Sun a game that’s worth playing? For my money, the answer is a resounding yes. While I wish that the graphics and controls were better, The Shadow Sun is one of the most captivating experiences I’ve had with a role-playing game in quite some time. The story, characters, and the world around you are all so vibrant and alive that you can’t help but want more.
