About This Game



When the night falls, two unlikely heroes emerge. A vicious WEREWOLF and a cunning VAMPIRE - creatures of the dark born of anger and blood are the last hope for a world taken over by black magic. Led by a mysterious sage, Cornelius, they’ll have to face hellish hordes of demons and fight through 21 sprawling levels before they can defeat the ULTIMATE EVIL!

A DARK FANTASY ACTION GAME!

From Shadows is an action game blending the style of fast-paced platformers and beat’em ups. The menacing gothic atmosphere and foreboding music build tension, while the hand-drawn graphics give shape to unimaginable horrors straight from hell. This indie title offers option for solo play as well as cooperative split-screen (taking full advantage of both keyboards and controllers) and lets you publish your scores on global leaderboards.
Unleash your inner beast and step out of the shadows!
