Gamez writes: "In September last year, the game Lost in Shadow announced for the Wii. Meanwhile, the game, still here after having called Tower of Shadows, renamed to A Shadow's Tale."
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw reviews A Shadow's Tale.
Quoting Nintendo Life's James Newton:
"A classic case of visual style over playable substance, A Shadow’s Tale still has enough graphical and audio flair to convince you to forgive its less original features, and there’s more than enough moments of enjoyment to make the purchase worthwhile. What could have been another must-have Wii 2D platformer, A Shadow's Tale is still worth your time as long as you keep your expectations in check."
A Shadow's Tale setup is both simple and rather ingenious. You play as a boy's shadow as he attempts to climb a huge tower to regain his mortal vessel, which is imprisoned at the top. This one quirk adds a whole new dimension to the basic run-and-jump platforming formula.
