And speaking of combat, they somehow managed to make it worse… They got rid of the auto locking which is great.

and because of that the clone turns into a consumable skill like turning invisable… This time however youre able to create or become a perfect clone in an online co op mode… As a perfect clone you have all of your skills and items, but you cant pary in combat and you die in one hit… and if either you or your partner dies you can brign the other back to life by sacrificing half of your health…. Im horrible at stealth, so I found it to be a bit annoying… And you can call in a clone, but gone are the clone puzzles and distracting. Sounds like a good idea… but materials are way to rare here.

Taking me anywhere from an hr to an hr and a half to complete… the game took me about 12 hours to complete… But its much less about mastering the shadows here… All of the basic assassinations you had to unlock in the past game are unlocked from the start with a new set of skills to master… And while Shards of Darkness Improves in many areas Master of Shadows struggled… It also fails in areas Master of Shadows had down perfect… Much like the last game, Shards of Darkness puts you in an open level with a dagger and some potions, and its up to you to make to the different task locations and then make it back to your hide out… But things are much more casual and straight forward this time… You still have your sand to throw at torches, but they never felt useful here… You now also have to gather materials to craft items and potions instead of refill at base. but these missions are half the length of the first game.


Styx Shards of Darkness More of a Half Step than a Sequel Shards of Darkness is the Sequel to Master of Shadows…īut with its own self Styx Shards of Darkness More of a Half Step than a Sequel Shards of Darkness is the Sequel to Master of Shadows… But with its own self contained story, so you don’t need to play any of the past games to be able to hop right in… This is more of Master of Shadows, but at the same time almost completely different… Theres are 9 missions total here.
