Guards will also alert others to ready their weapons if they have spotted but lost you. Guards are a bit smarter than you think, and if on alert, they'll check in these hiding spots and pull you out by the green skin of your neck. Being small as you are, you can slip under tables and into lovely placed tunnels as well as hide in drains, cupboards, and chests. Items in this game are hard to come by and you'll need to make sure you use all of them as wisely as possible.Įven if you run out of Amber there are plenty of other ways to get around without becoming a smear on the floor. Since all these things are done with the use of the Amber, you'll need to drink more when you start to run low. You can also become invisible for short periods of time, and use Amber vision which lets you see the room more clearly, as well as living things and where items are lying around. You can make clones of yourself to distract guards, pull switches, scout rooms, and even become traps for unsuspecting guardsmen. The World-Tree is made up of a glowing sap they call Amber, which has magical properties and, wouldn't you know, you're part amber. Thankfully, in this world of goblins, World-Trees, and other mythical creatures and plants, there is also magic. Getting into fights you can only parry until you have a chance to land a death blow, so more than likely you're going to end up dead if you get the attention of more than one guard. You're not really made for one-on-one fighting. Styx: Master of Shadows is a true blue stealth game. Oh, and trying to remember what happened before you woke up. The whole reason for all the prowling and silent death dealing, is to get to the center of the World-Tree, in order to steal the heart of this great magical flora and possibly find out why there are so many voices in your head. Steal, assassinate, set traps, cause diversions, but mostly sneaking around without being seen in this high difficultly roleplaying game. Hmm, on second thought, there is a lot to worry about, or would be if it wasn't this foulmouthed, toilet-humored, goblin you're helping through this action adventure stealth game aptly called, Styx: Master of Shadows, by Cyanide Studio. or slice your throat open, or snap your neck, or stab you in the kidneys.
And there's no reason to worry about him. Goblins be here, or really just one goblin, Styx. It lurks in the shadows, always staying just in the corner of your eye, having you unaware as it sneaks up right behind you.
