Despite its problematic narrative, Shadwen is a very unique game that breathes new life into a genre that hasn’t seen much development in a while. The last time I had such a fun and interesting time with a stealth game was Dishonored. Shadwen carefully designs and organises at every turn; every piece of the environment is deliberate, purposeful, and interesting. The graphics hold up nicely, with a sort of clay/smudged look that works well with the Medieval theme, and reminds me very much of Dishonored/Thief in visual style. If you can ignore the brief moments where the A.I. hiccups, and slightly messy controls/movement (which can be forgiven since you can rewind any mistakes!), then I can highly recommend Shadwen to anyone who considers themselves a lover of the stealth genre – especially for its low price.
