Heaven Angel Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Styx sequel comes with more ambition, bigger budget, new engine, and more! Following its positive reception from press and players, Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide Studios wanted to delve deeper into the world of Styx with more ambition! The centuries-old goblin assassin Styx returns in a new stealth game, Styx: Shards of Darkness, with a bigger budget, bigger ideas, and a new engine: Unreal 4. Revealed in the first official screenshot of the game, check out a nimble, more refined Styx, built from the ground-up. Master of Shadows was a valiant exploration into the world of the green goblin thief, but in Shards of Darkness, delve deeper into a more complex narrative and fully realized world.Following the fall of Akenash tower, an extraordinary matter has forced Styx out of hiding to infiltrate Körangar, the city of the Dark Elves. Supposedly impregnable, a diplomatic summit offers Styx a chance at slipping in unnoticed, as he learns that the event is nothing but a mere façade… Moreover, the Elves have joined forces with the Dwarves, and the only thing both races have in common is a mutual hatred of the Goblins… Styx: Shards of Darkness, the sequel to Cyanide Studios' stealth cult-classic Master of Shadows, comes to consoles and PC in 2016. Styx creeps back in a new adventure packed with bigger production, tonnes of new features and a new engine: Unreal Engine 4. Today's new images reveal a few of the many dangers your green anti-hero will have to face during his journey. One of the hostile factions you will meet in the huge underground city of Korrangar is composed of the Dark Elves. Dark Elves were previously Elves who had to live without any amber for multiple generations. Slowly, they have been turning into fanatic and bloodthirsty creatures. They became masters in Quartz fabrication, a new, much more dangerous, source of power. They are also experts at goblin hunting and the Exterminator Dark Elf is proof of that. He has honed his skills to perfection, and is able to flush out pesky creatures hiding in dark corners and hard-to-reach places with toxic bombs. If there's an even more dangerous place than Korrangar, it would be Wildoran, the city of goblin hunters. Wildoran inhabitants are stout people wearing heavy armour - the powerful Dwarves. Styx is unable to breach their impenetrable defence, so you must innovate and adapt to disable or avoid them. Every dwarf also has a supernatural sense of smell, and is able to slowly track Styx as he moves from cover to cover. This is only a small example of the many enemy types Styx will face in his journey. Each faction has many unique classes of enemies and will require you to creatively utilize all of Styx's tools to overcome them: assassination, amber powers, talents and skills, equipment, etc. But that's not all! Deep in the most dangerous of areas lie greater foes and obstacles that are epic in size and scale - monstrous beings that overshadow anything Styx has ever seen! Infiltrate your way with Styx: Shards of Darkness, available in 2016 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I keep meaning to buy the first game when its one sale and I keep forgetting. Goddamnit! What is the cheapest I can get it for right now? Pretty sure 1199 on Steam is the cheapest right now. But the game goes on sale very often so you should probably wait.

Heaven Angel Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Gameplay is amazing. Insane amount of fun and replayability. Challenging difficulty. Well priced and well refined for a budget title. Trumps the original in almost all ways. Suddenly so many games to play. Can't wait for this. Unlocks in 8 hours.

Heaven Angel Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Very nice stealth game. Might not have AAA quality but the gameplay and stealth mechanics are excellent. In fact way better than pseudo-stealth AAA titles. The hightest difficulty is a way to go along with no kills/no detection. Co-op is surprisingly fun to play. So far, so good.

Heaven Angel Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Yes, it's not a high budget AAA game so majority will just ignore it or wait for sale. As I've played the first Styx it was a really good stealth game. Co-op seems fun in this one. If someone is ready to co-op the whole campaign then I'm in.

Heaven Angel Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 ^^I'm not sure if you would like it. It's not eye-candy nor smooth. It's old school clunky but very solid stealth game.The level design is quite good and the missions are lengthy.Zodak, you speak of stealth games. Play this and get all gold insignia on the master difficulty. Yes, it's not a high budget AAA game so majority will just ignore it or wait for sale. As I've played the first Styx it was a really good stealth game. Co-op seems fun in this one. If someone is ready to co-op the whole campaign then I'm in. Co-op doesn't have save system. Just heads up. However, after you die, you can respawn. But you will take 50% of your teammate's health. This adds an extra challenge and teamwork, though. My friend and I taking hours and messing around. It's quite hilarious at times when one of us die and use other's HP. One time my hp went down to like 1% and still spawned making it 0.5% HP. (even a small jump would kill at that level). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
