Solid iOS RPG – The Shadow Sun Review

This was a really fun little RPG, now it's no Baldur's Gate 2, but I really enjoyed playing through it. At first I didn't like the combat, but once I got the hang of it it was fine. Played as a stealthy rogue sneak attacking and then transitioning to a bow. Had a very interesting western RPG story, but as I'm sure has been mentioned, the ending sets up an obvious sequel. But checking the developers website, I see no evidence of a sequel being created. Therefore the ending rings a bit hollow as it's obvious that the developers were planning on a sequel. Kind of a " Oh you thought I was the bad guy?" Type moment. All nit-picks aside I really enjoyed this and recommend to anyone interested in western RPGs, just takes a bit to get used to the fast combat. Clicking the companion portrait pauses the game FYI, helpful during combat, took me about half the game to figure that out. This studio has made some excellent modules for the Neverwinter Nights games, so there definitely is some talent there. Definitely a solid 4 out of 5. Hopefully they have plans for more games, but it may never happen.
