Shadow Complex Remastered

Gameplay

Shadow Complex Remastered for PC, PS4 and XONE is a 2.5D platform game that includes 3D environments. However, the protagonist's movement is restricted to two-dimensional system. In the game, the players explore subsequent levels of a semi-open structure, where puzzles have to be solved and enemies have to be eliminated. There is plenty of ways to deal with them; the player can fight them hand-to-hand, but there is a variety of weapons available as well, including standard firearms and futuristic rifles that, for example, can freeze the enemy. The environment can be also useful. Apart from the regular enemy soldiers, the player will encounter substantially more powerful bosses. Some of them are animate beings, others are mechanical. The protagonist's development is an extremely important element of the game, and he acquires new skills as the story progresses. They allow the player to enter previously unavailable locations, and deal with more powerful enemies. Thus, alongside the player's progression, the protagonist evolves. At the beginning, he is just a tourist, but later on, he obtains a master's degree in combat.
