The game Whisper of Shadow is an RPG developed by Kingame Studio that will be the traditional collection of heroes with the background of dark fantasy. Enjoying over 100 unique heroes with their skills and designs, the game offers a lot of content to fans of character collection.
The result of these mechanics is the best seen in the combat system: heroes can be assembled into a tactical squad with different set-ups. Thus, the gameplay concentrates on creating the most effective team and making each hero have a synergy with his teammates’ powers. I actually really like the depth that’s provided to the fight mechanics – that is, if the player is into that kind of strategy.
Graphically, Whisper of Shadow involves intricate Gothic graphics from which the game is far from other colorful cartoonistic RPG games. Here the characters and the world which is depicted also seems to be a good match with the overall darkness of the game. As with many RPG games the characters are marvelous: the formidable warriors or the spell-wielding mages look fierce and cool.
There are also some issues with balance and progression, however, the gameplay of the game was entertaining. As is the case with many gacha- style games, progression can sometimes be felt to be dependent on the RNG with heroes. This can cause a bit of frustration, because progression will slow down for not having the right heroes or upgrades. Also, the interface of the game might not be very smooth and one might find it slightly difficult to maneuver around this game.
All in all, Whisper of Shadow is a well-balanced RPG game for those players, especially for fans of heroes collection and dark fantasy genre. The extensive character list and particularly well designed combat targeting system make it worth the play but be prepared for some heavy level stuffing at times. If you like strategy and heroes’ collecting games then Whisper of Shadow may be interesting for you.
