A NEW ADVENTURE
In this latest entry in the Heretic Kingdoms saga, members of the secret council known as the Penta Nera have been assassinated, and 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?

“An ancient proverb warns: ‘Never trust a demon, for betrayal is their very blood’. Yet the Sura, the great ogres of the Wastes, have a different saying: ‘A demon honors its pact’. Perhaps when the race of men looks into the eyes of hell, they see their own darkness reflected…” 

– Carissa Cantrecht

Awesome game for the buck. If you're looking for an alternative from diablo or titan quest, this is the game. There are gamepad controls. The game pad controls were good, i have no problem with it at all. It does take a little bit of getting used to.

It's an interesting diablo like/hack and slash with a unique mechanic.

I enjoy the game. It's an interesting diablo like/hack and slash with a unique mechanic. You play 4 characters rolled into one and can change at will. They each have their own class and abilities making each own useful for different situations.

This is a well made diablo clone, with the ability to swap characters on the fly (between demon, mage, archer and warrior). That said, I stopped playing after 3 hours because I dislike the classic diablo control scheme (I prefer twinstick/wsad+mouse), and hence the game feels a bit too slow and cumbersome for me to enjoy. If it had a different control scheme, but it doesnt, so I wont.

It's really not a Diablo-like, despite its appearance.

Thou art already dead... Shadows: Awakening may look like a Diablo-like on its face. But it has its own thing going on. Let me qualify that, as far as it being an isometric hack and slash with loot and levels — that's exactly what it is, however you play as a demon with other people inside of them — a devourer of souls. Shadows is a bit more story driven than its contemporaries. And while you will be picking up loot and leveling, the game places significant importance on dialogue decisions as well as quests taken and completed. Some areas will have lite puzzle solving as well, additionally, many side dungeon/caves are available. — Now, enemies to do not respawn should you decide to travel back to a completed area stay for a few enemies that pop out of jars or some other environmental object. So, there isn't much reason to return unless you want to satiate the completionist in you that missed a side quest. You won't need — or even be able to grind levels or gear out of those areas once you've moved on. You primarily control the Devourer, and up to three active puppets at any given time. There are more than three throughout the game to find and recruit but you cannot ever take more than three with you. There can only be one. — Much akin to dissociative identity disorder, someone has to take the helm of the vessel. The game is structured in such a way that both the mortal and shadow realms are accessible at any time. However, only the Devourer can interact with shadow objects and needs at least one puppet to interact with the mortal realm. This is true for enemies as well, however, there are some enemies that exist in both realms. Death — or failure, really — is either when all three active puppets die or the Devourer themselves does. Choose your pokemon! At the start of the game, you get to choose from three traditional archetypes. A warrior, mage or a hunter. This person, alongside the Devourer will be set on their adventure that Krenze, another mage, sets out for you. You'll run into more characters but you can only absorb certain ones. Some of them are missable. And some are required to interact with certain clans or NPCs within a city. Gear is not shared. But, soulstones are — soulstones can augment the entire party's makeup. I was a little confused as to the precise nature of how the soulstones worked at first. Each soulstone has a specific amount of charges it holds and each time you use a charge it will replenish either your HP or MP for one...
