It was made with care and attention and most of all, to be enjoyed. Playing Styx: Shards of Darkness, I could feel how much the developers put into making it. I was able to enjoy Styx: Shards of Darkness in spite of some clunkiness, some frustrations and the not-quite average visuals. Going in without expectations meant I wasn’t swayed one way or another from the outset. On booting it up, I had almost no knowledge of it or the previous Of Orcs and Men titles which is probably a good thing. The RPG elements of the game enable the player to gain new skills and experience, unlock special moves and weapons and talent trees.Styx: Shards of Darkness is great. One can also plan for accidents of the targets and remain undetected. The player should study the guards’ movement, areas of light and shadows for your advantage and draw the enemies to isolated areas in order to assassinate them quietly. Therefore, the player should keep a low profile and anticipate what happens next to be able to tackle it. In addition, he can use magic to clone himself, therefore, enabling the player to scout without being detected and also to create a diversion.ĭepending on what the player does, the guards, archers, and soldiers of the tower behaviors change dynamically. Also, he has the ability to detect hidden areas and foes by use of amber-vision. Styx has the ability to be invisible that is enabled by use of the arcane abilities.

Styx wishes to find his true origin from a World-Tree, a powerful and magical sap that is located inside the Tower of Akenesh and protected by Humans and Elves.


Styx: Master of Shadows is a game in which the player must use stealth for their character to survive.
