Here's their conclusion: There's something to be said about the concept and the plot of Shadowflare. For 19.99, you can download a constantly changing title that has many elements of previous Action-RPGs. With a lot of room to grow and expand as a series, and a storyline that doesn't really rehash previously thought of ideas, Shadowflare shows a ton of promise as a game that can challenge the concept of these action titles. However, Episode 1 shows that the developers have plenty of areas of improvement they might want to work on for future releases. Minimal variations in enemies, musical tracks, or backgrounds suggests that the first episode was not so much an indication of what the series can be, but rather a work in progress. Plus, some of the features, such as the career paths and companions, seem like they still need to be flushed out more, with additional control given to the player for personal customization and decisions for their characters. Episode 2 just recently came out, and Episode 3 of the series should be arriving shortly after the New Year. By early accounts, Episode 2 is much harder and impressive than the first title, which suggests that players willing to stick by this title may just find a sleeper hit on their hands.
