Age of Wonders Shadow Magic

Enjoy the game, enjoy the gameplay, enoy the song, enjoy every step you make, every unit you kill and every hero you hire, every city you conquer, every mountain you climb, every cave you explore, every turn you make...

The sprite-based graphics are pixel-heavy, but there’s a charm in their detail, and the color palettes still evoke a sense of high fantasy that modern 3D often sterilizes.

Shadow Magic is an Age of Wonders II Expansion but it's so large they made it a stand alone game, which is cool because the added races and story line really do add enough to the game to call this a stand alone.

Luckily, the Combat is fun, and so is the overall gameplay loop.

Soundtrack is pretty well done and you can find yourself easily enjoying it during a playthrough.

What I appreciated about Shadow Magic is, it gave me a good sense of the difficulty right off the bat, but I didn't have to start the entire tutorial over.
