Melee combat is kept simple with swords, maces and crossbows making up most of your arsenal. If this is your first entry to the series, the intro sets the scene up well enough.Īs an RPG, Ravensword: Shadowlands isn’t the deepest. I don’t mind it but it offers little in the way of intrigue. Characters from previous games in the series turn up but, mostly, people exist to give you quests rather than backstory. There rest of the narrative is slender and serves mostly to give the world just a tiny bit of colour. The opening battle does give you the opportunity to create your character but mine spent most of his time clad in armour. You’re chosen as the person to stop this and need to find the titular Ravensword to turn the tide of war. The kingdom of Tyreas is in trouble with the demonic Ul Thok looking for control. As our hero, you begin as a lone survivor of a bloody battle against the invading Dark Elves. Ravensword: Shadowlands’ story is a basic enough tale. It isn’t pretty or clever but I did find myself enjoying it. Ravensword: Shadowlands is now on consoles and it seems Crescent Moon Games have opted for a port rather than a more explicitly updated effort. I’m not complaining but I did not expect to review a re-release of a game that first saw daylight in 2012 on mobile platforms. It seems like anything will find its way into the Playstation store.
