Shadow Trick Gameplay:

As the title suggests, you play a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to overcome obstacles. This core mechanic is cleverly implemented. Switching between your physical and shadow forms is essential for solving puzzles, evading traps, and outsmarting enemies.

The game unfolds across a magical castle, boasting diverse environments, hidden perils, and challenging bosses. With 24 levels and three hidden moon crystals per level, collecting all 72 crystals for the true ending requires skill and precision. Bosses present a significant challenge; some, like the mischievous red ghost, employ deceptive tactics.

Expect varied gameplay experiences. The environments range from typical platforming challenges to aquatic levels where shadow form is crucial for navigation. Unique aquatic boss encounters add to the adventure's variety.
