It's also unclear how far you can fall without dying, which leads to frustrating trail and error during the game's many platformer segments.
The controls and camera are clunky, either way, making it hard to move fluidly or see clearly at times. The first-person view gives you the targeting crosshair that the third-person view lacks, but makes it harder to perform various Lara Croft-style stunts, like leaping chasms or shimmying along narrow precipices. You'll just have to roll with it.Īs you traverse the different game worlds, you'll run, fight, and jump from either a first- or third-person view. As described in one of the game's innumerable and unfailingly tedious cutscenes, this story makes little sense and is about as engaging as a page from the phone book. You soon learn that you need to free him by first liberating four fallen angels trapped in parallel worlds. It seems your little brother has stumbled onto an ancient mystery and gotten himself magically imprisoned by angry gods. In Shade, you play as a generic tough guy whose brother just happens to be an archaeologist. Shade: Wrath of Angels runs on an original DirectX 9-based 3D engine, which supports features such as automatic level-of-detail generation, skeletal characters, rigid body physics, bezier patching, directional ambient lighting with anti-aliased light maps, and other contemporarily cutting-edge graphical goodies. While enemies are vicious and combat may be a necessity at times, the game's focus is on its disturbing, epic storyline and its spooky puzzle-solving challenges.
Shade: Wrath of Angels is a third-person supernatural action-adventure that leads players from the present, back to Middle Ages, and through a realm of shadows, on a quest to solve a million-year-old mystery.
