Description
Western Acclaim Studios Teesside action-adventure, where Mike LeRoi aka Shadow Man hunts damned souls between Liveside and Deadside to prevent the Asylum prophecy. Created by Acclaim Studios Teesside and Acclaim, released in 1999 in the United States, Europe and Italy under the Shadow Man title. Over sixteen 3D open-exploration levels between living and dead, two parallel worlds to unlock in parallel, over fifteen voodoo weapons and Tim Haywood atmospheric soundtrack. Western edition under the Shadow Man title.
An Acclaim action adventure from the Valiant comic, Shadow Man has you explore a vast dark world split between the land of the living and the Deadside, in a clammy, mature voodoo mood. The non linear structure, the oppressive atmosphere and the freedom of exploration make it a memorable title for fans of adult adventure. The stiff handling, a temperamental camera and a certain lack of polish have aged. An atmospheric action adventure to recommend for fans of occult worlds and dark exploration.
