Speaking of the map, the entire game is absolutely enormous containing over a hundred different rooms, all incredibly detailed. Missiles, grenades, guns, and foam.yes foam.are all required to access certain areas of the map, especially secret areas with items. Doors, grates, fans, and other objects glow with a colored hue to let you know which tool, or rather weapon, is required to reach the other side. Your flashlight becomes your tool for discovering secrets and obstacles. Taking a queue from other Epic titles an on screen progress indicator shows you how far along you are to the specific achievements, as well as compares how well you are doing to your friends. The latter is actually an achievement, of which the game does an excellent job with. There's even a multiplier system built in to increase the XP gained - for instance hand to hand combat can yield you greater points, or even knocking an enemy of a ledge and getting them to scream. You'll slowly level up unlock new abilities making it easier to navigate the map. The game does an admirable job of auto targeting the enemies depending on where you are aiming.Īs you explore and unlock the map, take down enemies, and collect items, you'll earn experience towards your character. And while you are limited to one plane of movement, its incredibly easy to dispatch anyone on the screen in any depth of field. Enemies can appear right in front of you, or can be seen coming out of structures in the background. You'll transition from gorgeous outdoor forest levels to technology filled bunkers in a hybrid 2.5D view.

The adventure starts out when Jason and his girlfriend Claire decide to go spelunking, and when Claire goes on ahead only to disappear - things get interesting.

He's your everyday dude who just happens to know how to fire a machine gun.and scale huge walls.and wear a super suit to break the sound barrier. Now under the care of Epic Games, Chair has create a side scrolling adventure which drops players in the role of Jason Flemming, sort of a super spy version of Nathan Drake from Uncharted. Shadow Complex is from developer Chair, who created the three player co-op game Undertow. But Shadow Complex is the perfect example of a game that in no way needs co-op play, it's a tight single player experience with high production values, great voice acting, and a cheesy fun story. We only talked a brief bit about Shadow Complex on the site a few weeks back, and mostly it was due to its lack of cooperative play.
