That’s awesome in theory, but everything from wooden crates to dead bodies have the habit of freaking out from time to time. Just like the Trine series, a lot of Shadwen deals with manipulating the game’s physics. Which is why it’s frustrating that the grappling mechanic is typically more awkward to use than fun. It’s incredibly freeing to be able to swing from balconies and jump across rooftops unnoticed. She can quickly climb to the top of any wooden structure and only needs to get behind guards in order to permanently end their night. Shadwen, who is armed with a knife and a grappling hook, is very mobile. Unlike Lily, the titular assassin doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty, and controlling Shadwen, whose goal is to kill the King, opens up a lot of different mechanics. It’s a great concept, and one that’s immediately appealing. After a brief introductory stage that’s all about non-violently sneaking around, which is done by distracting guards by pushing objects around, players are introduced to Shadwen, who is the game’s primary protagonist.

Going a step further, Frozenbyte has also given players the ability to rewind time, which eliminates a lot of the trial and error frustration that has plagued stealth games in the past. While Lily may not be a veteran thief, she does have one thing on her side: time. What makes Shadwen unique is that players are allowed to plan every move as action is paused when you’re not moving (although the player can press R1 to make time pass while standing still). I use the traps to take down the Heavily Armoured Guards.Shadwen‘s promising journey begins by placing players in the shoes of Lily, a starving orphan child who is looking to sneak past guards in order to get an apple.
“I prefer playing lethally, but I let some of the Guards live who aren’t standing in my way. Our Frozenbyte Financial Manager also likes to play lethally, but unlike Pete and Henri, he makes more use of the selection of crafted traps in the game. Compared to the other two playstyles – Completely Non-Lethal or Mixed style – where you try to avoid Lily discovering your real motives, killing the Guards while Lily knows you’re an assassin is an efficient way of getting along in the game.” “I like this playstyle because it is a fast and simple way to play the game. Fiddling with the traps takes too much time, and Non-Lethal is much too slow, so I prefer a murderous rampage with my knife, while ignoring Lily’s opinion of me.” “I prefer ADHD playstyles in general, rather than advancing slowly. Our Frozenbyte QA have to test the levels quickly and efficiently time after time, so they prefer to have at ’em with the sharp efficiency of Shadwen’s knife: straight, to-the-point and no-nonsense. For example, you can go on an all-out killing spree, which is what the Completely Lethal playstyle is all about. How you want to play Shadwen is completely up to you. New blog entry – A look at the 3 different #Shadwen playstyles.
#SHADWEN LILY SERIES#
In this short series we showcase different ways to play Shadwen. Will she witness you murder the Guards, or will the two of you pass through the night-time shadows of Rivendon like soft whispers, harmless and barely noticed? You are not traveling alone: Lily, a bright young orphan, is with you, and your relationship with her depends on what sort of impression you give her. To get through Rivendon Town and Rivendon Castle to him, you need to choose if you intend to kill all the Guards in your way, or if you’ll deviously distract them to allow you to get by unnoticed. In Shadwen, you play the titular assassin on a quest to kill King Gwydion.
