Darkness: Prince of Shadows

An ancient evil has been unleashed, and humanity stands on the brink of destruction. In Darkness: Prince of Shadows, you experience an epic 2.5D dark-fantasy hack & slash sidescroller adventure with platforming elements, moral dilemmas, and a brutal, cinematic combat system

Two heroes. One blood-stained destiny.

An ancient prison has been breached. Eternal evil has awakened. The world teeters on the edge of collapse, and only two rebellious souls stand between humanity and absolute damnation.

Alis, raised within the silent walls of a convent, learned the art of survival through faith and theft. Agile, swift, and deadly, she’s known as the Demon Striker — because, as she herself says, “there’s no fame in death.”

Reyu, son of the legendary warlord Vlader and Princess Amelina, embodies strength and honor in battle. His determination is unbreakable: a true warrior never falls to blade.

Mystical and Devastating Combat

Fight with enchanted weapons and unique abilities. Unleash special moves like:

• Impact Berserk, a ground slam generating an energy explosion that repels and annihilates weaker enemies.

• Aerial Kick, which launches enemies into the air and slows time, allowing an instantaneous flurry of shots without consuming ammo.

Platforming, Traps & Environmental Challenges
Navigate gothic, perilous environments: precise jumps, strategic rolls, grappling hooks, and deadly traps will test your reflexes and wit.

Moral Puzzles & Karmic Choices
Face puzzles to save lives or decide to leave them to their fate. Your decisions influence karma, altering rewards and story progression.

• Help those in need by donating energy to gain positive karma and rare rewards.

• Ignore or condemn them, and receive Orbs—the in-game currency used for upgrades, purchases, and regeneration.
