Shadow Puppeteer

MUST OWN GAME FOR WII U. 10/10. A True Gem. Arguably One Of The Top 3 3d Platformers On The System... Shadow Puppeteer is a very clever game that combines both 2d and 3d Platforming elements to create a game that blurs both platforming genres. The catch being, if one character strays to far from another character, the bond between both breaks and you die. The game requires you to solve puzzles, many of which require you to interact with the shadows of objects to manipulate the 'real world', and in turn, you use real world objects to manipulate shadows. Numerous situations may require you to control both characters at once, and can be quite challenging. Numerous collectable orbs are hidden throughout the game and can be collected by trying to stretch out long distances, the catch being, if you go to far, the link between each character will snap, and you will die. The risk and reward factor prove to be very amusing. Story is fantastic, it revolves around the main character (and his shadow) following a mysterious shadow villain that creates light/shadow monsters (as you progress through the story). Atmosphere is fantastic also. The game also contains some boss battles and running sections which require quick thinking, to avoid being destroyed by shadow / light creatures. All in all, a very fun and creative game. Would love to see a retail release of this game on the console at some point, but its well worth the Eshop price currently.

Finally on Wii U! :D A beautiful story about a boy and his shadow that has to co-operate (one in the 3d world, and the other in the 2d world) to get back the shadows stolen from everyone. A lonely boy that suddenly finds a New friend in an very unexpected place. I love this concept! ^-^ They have not dissapointed me in the use of shadow and light. Creatively done, Sarepta studio! I've played it the way it should be played, as a co-op game but also in single mode. To try it alone can be a nice challenge, but I will recommend co-op. It is more fun that way! It feels more like a victory to beat the game together with someone else. Play it With Your sibling, boy-/girlfriend, friend etc.. You may argue, but you will laugh even more! As a Tim Burton fan i absolutely love the game art and music! ^-^ The only thing I wish for in this game is for it to last longer. Maybe the story could have been clearer, but again it is nice when you have to think a little bit for yourself to understand it. And it is really beautifull how the story is told without any dialogue. You have to read the bodylanguage and faces. Pay attention to it when you play. And play it twice! ^-^
