Tag: Running Shadow

We've been salivating for more information ever since Game Insight first announced their fierce new endless runner with a dark overtone this past September. The biggest draw of Running Shadow is that the game aims to take that recognizable endless runner gameplay and infuse it together with core role playing elements: all set against the dismal, yet beautiful backdrop of a Gothic-themed world. So basically, it's pretty much the closest we'll ever get right now to playing a Castlevania endless runner.But that was back when we only had a few measly screenshots to look at. Now a long-awaited gameplay trailer has finally entered the fold…Actually seeing the game in action for the first time, everything about The Running Shadow's mysterious and, well, shadowy lore immediately makes perfect sense. You'll be speeding your way through foreboding castle interiors and dodging all sorts of deadly gauntlet traps like rows of spikes or fire columns. You'll be encountering the fiercest of foes, from dastardly mages to ax-wielding knights. And of course, you'll be running along a crumbling stone bridge with some ominous talons gripping at the edge.So needless to say, we're more than a little stoked to make our way through The Running Shadow's gorgeously stylized world. The game is currently slated to launch on iOS and Android platforms sometime in early 2014, and in the meantime you can check out the game's newly launched website for some more Gothic fun!

Game Insight is getting ready to take the endless runner genre to the next shadowy level with The Running Shadow: a game about quick and fluid running, and gorgeously spooky Gothic environments. Hey, the "Shadow" in the game's title isn't for nothing, after all!What's unique about this one is that The Running Shadow is said to combine the now-traditional fast-paced action of an endless runner game with the deep and engrossing upgrade system of a classic RPG; not to mention an invigorating 3D combat system! In the game, players will get to explore the dark fantasy world of Adrion, as they interact with more than 20 different characters, and help to rid the realm from all kinds of cruelty and injustice."Featuring a deep and expansive storyline (especially for an endless runner game!), players will take control of various members of the "Brotherhood of Shadows," a secret organization that has its own incentives for taking to the rooftops and shallow pits of Adrion: namely, for looting valuable treasure!The Running Shadow will be debuting first exclusively on Android in the near future, with other mobile platform support to follow shortly after, which I think is pretty safe to assume will include iPhone and iPad.
