Expansive fantasy action-adventure PC game
Ancient Demon Shadow is a premium action game for PC from developer WJLE. It's a fast-paced third-person dark fantasy adventure boasting impressive visuals and a large open world to explore. Here, players embark on a quest to stop an evil god that has taken over and corrupted the land.
Similar to Legend of Stars and Ancient Wars: Medieval Crusades, Ancient Demon Shadows features fast and fluid combat that allows players to customize their arsenal with diverse skills and magic spells. It also employs a unique mechanic that seamlessly switches between dual perspectives during gameplay.
Slay the evil king
Ancient Demon Shadows takes place in a dark fantasy world that has been in constant war with the corrupt, calling upon powerful mages to stop and seal away the Evil God King inside the Ancient Demon City. However, the magic that keeps this malicious enemy has been broken. All hope rests on the shoulders of a lone hero to save the world, and that is you.
The Ancient Demon City boasts a large semi-open map featuring multiple biomes home to all kinds of unique enemies you need to defeat. Combat in the game is primarily a battle of firepower and you have a wide assortment of weapons and spells to use depending on the enemy. Unlock more abilities like being able to transform and summon various creatures to fight for you.
As mentioned earlier, the game has a distinct mechanic that switches between a third-person over-the-shoulder view for combat and exploration, and a side-scrolling perspective when dealing with the various environmental puzzles and obstacles. However, there are a couple of things that still need work. Chief among them are the imprecise controls that contribute to the hard platforming puzzles and challenges.
Needs some tweaks
In conclusion, Ancient Demon Shadow is a fun action-adventure game with an intriguing dark fantasy world along with engaging and diverse combat gameplay. The switching perspectives and the inclusion of puzzle and platforming mechanics are a nice touch and help keep things interesting. However, it suffers from controls lacking precision. Nevertheless, it's well worth checking out and experiencing for yourself.
