The Shadow Sun is an immersive Western action RPG that has recently made its way to iOS. Developed by veterans of acclaimed RPG franchises such as Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, and The Witcher, this game is a must-play for fans of story-driven RPGs.
Slide to Play describes The Shadow Sun as "one of the most captivating experiences" they've had in a role-playing game in a long time, while Digitally Downloaded writes that the game "floored" them from start to finish. Arcade Sushi recommends it to all RPG fans and suggests that it belongs in their Games folder, and Pocket Gamer awards it a Silver Award, praising its faithful replication of a tabletop RPG experience.
The Shadow Sun has also received positive reviews from Toucharcade and App-S.ru, with Toucharcade commending its compelling story, ample content, and character customization system. App-S.ru goes as far as saying that The Shadow Sun is one of the few truly great RPGs for iOS and could easily stand alongside Baldur's Gate.
The game has been featured in Apple's Best New Games category, which speaks to its quality and popularity. Ossian Studios, the developers behind The Shadow Sun, have utilized their experience working with Dungeons & Dragons and The Witcher to create a deep, story-driven RPG specifically designed for iOS.
Prepare yourself for an adventure filled with visceral real-time combat, stunning environments to explore, complex characters to interact with, and an epic tale of a city plagued by mysterious darkness.
The story takes place in a world where an ominous shadow is cast upon the sun. As the shadow grows, the consequences become increasingly horrifying. To uncover the truth and save the city from impending doom, players will embark on a 10-hour adventure in the decadent imperial city of Shar and its surrounding desert lands.
Throughout the game, players will encounter over 70 unique areas and discover more than 200 hidden items, secrets, and ancient treasures. A journal will help keep track of quests, while a detailed codex provides information on new characters, places, and creatures.
An original orchestral soundtrack and immersive soundscape contribute to the dark fantasy atmosphere.
The Shadow Sun offers true role-playing elements, allowing players to create their own customizable character. With over 30 attacks, spells, and skills to choose from, players can tailor their play style to suit their preferences. The game also provides multiple ways to solve quests and unlock new dialogue options based on the player's skills.
Players can team up with one of four companions, each with unique abilities and personalities. The choices made throughout the game will determine whether these companions become friends or foes. Additionally, players can also have a faithful dog companion at their side during battles.
Supporting a variety of devices, The Shadow Sun can be played on iPad models 1-4 and Air, iPad mini models with and without Retina display, iPhone models 3GS-5s, and iPod touch models 3-5.
Note that in-app purchases are completely optional. While there are three starter packs with extra content and quests available for purchase, they are not required to fully enjoy the game. An in-depth hint guide is also offered as an optional purchase and provides a full walkthrough along with gameplay tips and other helpful information.
