Shadow Trick's Gameplay: A Shadowy Adventure

Players assume the role of a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow, a unique mechanic used to solve puzzles and navigate the game's challenges. Switching between physical and shadow forms is key to uncovering secrets, evading traps, and outsmarting enemies.

The game unfolds across a magical castle, boasting 24 diverse levels filled with tricky environments, hidden perils, and formidable bosses. Collecting all 72 moon crystals (three per level) is essential to experiencing the complete storyline. Defeating bosses without taking damage presents a significant challenge, particularly against tricky adversaries like the disappearing-then-reappearing red ghost.

Shadow Trick offers a varied gameplay experience, from standard platforming to aquatic levels requiring shadow-form navigation and encounters with unusual aquatic bosses.
