One particular mechanic drew Whistler to Games Farm’s fantasy action RPG, Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms.
This mechanic was the ability to switch between your two main protagonists, a soul devouring demon and your choice of three deceased mortals; seeing the mechanic alone in a trailer instantly had his attention, reminding him of Soul Reaver.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves; Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is a follow up to 2004’s Kult: Heretic Kingdoms (though he's yet to feel like he's missed out on any relevant chunk of story).
Funcom hosted its financial results conference call and had a few details to share about its previously-announced Dune game and more.
From GameWatcher: "Last week Kalypso teased a mysterious new game that we in our cleverness identified as a sequel to Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, possibly called "Awakening". Well, we were right on the money, in all ways. Kalypso have now properly announced Shadows: Awakening, the next game in the Heretic Kingdoms series, which they will debut fully at Gamescom. And here's the shocker: it will be free to owners of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms.
The fourth making-of in the series is now available.
