If you're not familiar with Shadows: Awakening, but you like action RPGs, then come on, man. Pay attention every once in a while. Shadow's Awakening is an arguably poorly named but rad looking isometric RPG that places you in control of the Devourer (now there's a badass name), a demon that scours the Shadow Realm for the souls of fallen warriors. Once he finds said deceased warriors, the demonic bastard uses their physical bodies to enter the mortal world and wreck havoc. These meat puppets allow you to create a whole party inside one demon, with combat, quests and puzzles all requiring that you switch between characters on the fly, and you'll have to combine powers and abilities in different ways to make your way through the dungeons and quests that are in front of you. It's a cool idea, and the plot will be affected depending on which character you're using in a given situation as well, so one NPC may react a certain way to one of your "faces", while a different face will present a much different result.
After you gather your people (or one man party, I suppose), you'll need to master everyone's skills and abilities, but also desires. In short, you are a demon who houses many warriors who all have their own thoughts and opinions on what you're up to. It's up to you to discover who is in really in charge, the demon, or the souls that you have inside you. In the end, you'll decide whether to save the world or plunge it into darkness.
Shadows Awakening releases on PC and consoles on August 31st.
