March 28, Valkenswaard, Netherlands: Face the perils that lie within the world of the iconic 1980’s adventure title, Shadowgate. Abstraction is inviting Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 players to sharpen their wits and prepare to enter the living castle, once again, in 2019. This console port of the PC remake delivers a refined user interface and an intuitive wheel-based menu system that will help both old and new generations of players navigate this perilous journey.
Players wanting to take on the challenge of Shadowgate on Nintendo Switch or Xbox One can preorder today from the Nintendo eShop and Xbox Games Store respectively. Doing so provides a 20% discount to these enthusiastic adventurers!
Shadowgate is a perfect tribute to the cult classic first-person, point-and-click adventure. Rebuilt from the ground up, it retains the fantasy story and fiendishly hard puzzles that made the original beloved when it released over 30 years ago, while also growing and improving the experience.
To make sure every element of Shadowgate was authentic for the 2014 PC remake, the original game directors returned as part of Zojoi. The result is that the dungeon now has more locations, all filled with story and puzzles that together expand on the world while remaining in keeping with the classic’s feel and tone.
The instantly noticeable difference in this loving recreation of Shadowgate is its stunning art. Delivering on a promise that was only in the team’s imagination back in 1987, the 2D hand-drawn world and items add a fresh look that helps illuminate every environment, item and puzzle.
To further enhance the experience for this console port, the interface has been painstakingly overhauled and optimised. Radial menus allow for faster selection of items and actions for heroes attempting to survive their journey to defeat the malevolent Warlock Lord.
Those wanting a more traditional Shadowgate experience can choose to make the game more challenging by selecting a higher difficulty level from the four available and reverting both the graphics and audio back to a more retro-style!
Get ready brave adventurer, the living castle awaits!
