Quote:
Shadows: Awakening is the new adventure in the Heretic Kingdoms saga. After the members of the secret council known as the Penta Nera are assassinated, their souls are consumed by the Devourers – evil demons which possess the ability to absorb the memories and personalities of the souls they acquire and materialize them as their puppets. Re-emerging into the mortal realm once again, the demonic Penta Nera continue their quest for power and immortality, but at what cost?

Shadows: Awakening is a unique, isometric single-player RPG with real-time tactical combat. You take control of a demon summoned from the Shadow Realm – the Devourer – to consume the souls of long-dead heroes and embark on an epic adventure with challenging gameplay, a gripping storyline and enchanting graphics. Do you have the focus and wits to master the world of the Heretic Kingdoms? Gather your party, control powerful heroes and use their skills to your advantage. But who is in charge… the demon, or the souls that it has devoured? It’s up to you to either thwart a major threat and save the world, or to plunge it into complete disaster…

The nice surprise here comes from Kalypso, that decided to honor the promise made by the now defunct bitComposer and deliver this to the owners of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms this for free.

Shadows: Awakening is basically the remade Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms and includes the unreleased Book2.

Everyone knew that bitComposer was in deep trouble. Beats me how the frag Games farm decided to sign the publishing deal with them, when anyone knew that it was a strong possibility that bitComposer might go bankrupt.

That's the trouble with small devs and indie devs: no business sense.

At least they were able to get their IP back. But that deal hurt Game Farm pretty hard and hurt their reputation, too.

I liked Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms with all its bugs and problems. So, i did hoped for something like this. I have the game on GOG, so this piece of news about the existing owners of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms being upgraded to the final edition for free is quite awesome, as Kalypso had no obligation to respect that promise. With this, Kalypso washed a few stains from their rep. Maybe they are trying to get back some goodwill...dunno. But, i am glad for this move.
