Gameplay in Shadow Trick:
As the title suggests, you play as a wizard with the unique ability to transform into a shadow. This core mechanic is cleverly used to solve puzzles, avoid hazards, and outsmart enemies. Players must seamlessly switch between their physical and shadow forms to uncover secrets and navigate the treacherous castle environment.
The magical castle is brimming with diverse biomes, hidden dangers, and challenging bosses. Across 24 levels, players must collect three moon crystals per level to unlock the complete ending. A true test of skill awaits those aiming for perfection – defeating all bosses without taking damage to acquire all 72 crystals. Some bosses, like the mischievous red ghost, possess tricky abilities that require careful strategy.
Shadow Trick offers a variety of environments, including aquatic levels where shadow form is essential for navigation, introducing unique and quirky fish bosses.
