Running Shadow is an Android game that successfully combines the thrill of endless running games with the excitement of RPG and adventure elements.
Gameplay
Running Shadow places you in the shoes of a seasoned thief and assassin. After stealing the Gauntlet of the Celestial Guardian, your character must escape from a variety of malevolent creatures, traversing stunning landscapes and locations. Despite not being a traditional 'endless runner', the game's mechanics bear a close resemblance. Each level lasts roughly a minute, with the primary objective being to reach the end unscathed.
The game controls are intuitive - slide your finger sideways to move, downward to duck, and upward to jump. In addition to evading obstacles, your character can also launch attacks. It is crucial to eliminate any enemies that cross your path to progress in your adventure.
Weapons and Outfits
To aid your quest, you will need to equip yourself with an array of weapons that can be gathered during the journey. Running Shadow boasts an impressive variety of eight unique suits for your character and over three hundred different objects for collection and use. These elements add a unique depth and customization aspect to the game, often absent in the endless runner genre.
Spells and Powers
Running Shadow introduces an RPG element with the ability to learn different spells. These spells can significantly assist your character, adding another layer of strategy and engagement to the gameplay experience.
Graphics
Running Shadow's graphics stand out, particularly on high-end Android devices. The detailed environments and character models contribute to an immersive and visually appealing gaming experience.
Running Shadow succeeds in taking the 'endless runner' genre to new heights by delivering an adventure full of depth and substance. Its blend of action, strategy, and customization makes it a unique addition to the Android gaming scene.
