Ereban: Shadow Legacy

[b] This game is sooooo much fun, more people need to play it! [/b] It's a great stealth game with a really fun mechanic, Shadow Merge, that lets you to roll around unseen in any shadow area, including up walls, for a timed period. It's hugely satisfying and gets you to think about your path and movement in a completely different way. There's a fantastic flow to it, and the game uses it very well, not just for stealth, but also for reaching hidden areas and solving puzzles. The world is unique and eerie, and the graphics are beautiful. The character designs and character development are cool, and the voice acting is really good. Altogether, it creates a satifyingly immersive experience. The story is engaging and interesting, and kept me dialed in the whole time. There's a (small) degree of choices-matter, and the game has different endings that depend on your own moral compass, which I enjoyed. The game isn't perfect. I came across a few hilarious bugs: I got caught inside a wall once, and another time I clipped through a massive vault door and fell into a different part of the level. To be honnest, it almost feels appropriate for a game that turns you into a shadow, and it's super easy to reload the last checkpoint and just go back a minute or two. I also had a few instances of the controls getting weird through a change of camera angle, and I got caught because of it a couple of times. That was frustrating, but the joyful flow of moving in and out of the shadows, from the ground to the walls, vastly outweighs the occasional issue. The game's levels vary quite a bit in scale. Some are quite short and linear, while others are fairly large, more open, and a lot longer. I enjoyed each of them in its own way, and ended up finding the variety more intresting. The game guides you through the levels a fair bit, which I actually liked. There's still a lot of figuring-out to do, and it helped progress the story consistently. It took me a couple of levels to fully click with the mechanics, and once I did I switched it to hard difficulty. I actully think there would be room for an even harder mode. I left the guidance markers enabled (occasional marks on the wall) but they can be reduced or disabled entirely, which is cool and will make the game fun to replay. It's a fairly short game. I like exploring every corner, and it took me around 15 hours to complete. Each level contains a bunch of notes you can find that develop the lore and do a great job of fleshing out the world and the perspective of the differenct factions. There's a few short sidequests which are neat. The gear upgrades and skills tree are a good balance: satisfying to develop without being overcomplicated. The game has great replayability. There are multiple ways to go through each level: eliminate guards quietly, sneak past them entirely, experiment with gear, or challenge yourself not to use any. Different badges encourage playing around with different styles and reward finishing the level in a particular way (ghost, ruthless, or merciful). Overall, I had a fantastic time playing through Ereban: Shadow Legacy, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I originally picked it up though a Humble Bundle, and I had so much fun playing it that I bought a second copy to support the devs and gift it to my brother so he can play it too. Knowing that the project began while the devs were still students, and was carried forward by a core team of only eight people for quite a while, makes it super impressive. It's a real shame they were dropped by their publisher before the PC release, because the game deserves a lot more attention. Give it a got, you'll have a great time!

Si te gustan los juegos de sigilo, Ereban merece mucho la pena. La mecánica de fundirte con las sombras está muy bien implementada y hace que moverte por los escenarios sea rápido, fluido y muy satisfactorio. Además, el juego te deja elegir si prefieres pasar desapercibido o eliminar a todos los enemigos, así que puedes adaptarlo a tu estilo de juego. Visualmente tiene mucha personalidad, con un apartado artístico que encaja muy bien con su ambientación de ciencia ficción. La historia quizá no sea lo más destacable, pero cumple su función y mantiene el interés durante toda la aventura. También me gustaría destacar que es un juego Español, desarrollado por Baby Robot Games, y demuestra el buen nivel que tiene el desarrollo nacional. Se nota el cariño puesto en el proyecto y, aunque recuerda a títulos como Aragami, consigue ofrecer una experiencia muy entretenida.

good

very unique mechanic, great game overall

Wonderful stealth game with very nice mechanics & a well written story. A must play game for fans of Aragami <3 5* ttv // caspar90

⠀⠀⠀一款精致完善的基于光暗的潜行暗杀平台跳跃玩法的宽线性游戏，即便是我这种玩潜行游戏非常菜的玩家也能感受到游戏的乐趣，这款作品非常建议一玩。 [h3]基于光暗的潜行玩法[/h3] ⠀⠀⠀ 不少潜行游戏都是普通人类，没什么特殊能力，只能慢悠悠地挪到敌人屁股后面去捅一刀，一不小心就被发现，然后又得重新开始慢悠悠地挪过去，玩起来非常的难受憋屈，而且又很费时间，很多时间都用在等敌人走到合适的位置。而在这款游戏中，玩家拥有非常多的特殊能力，极大的拓展了潜行玩法。潜行玩法和暗影能力很好的结合在一起，玩家可以在未被光线照射到的地方可以化为一团阴影移动，由此可以实现隐形、爬墙、穿越铁丝网之类狭小空间、贴着传送带上的东西移动跑、更长距离跳跃等等能力，同时还有各种工具，远程扫描、观察目镜、丢地雷、丢诱饵，各个工具升级后还有更强大的能力，暗影能力同样在游玩过程中会解锁更多能力，比如护盾、致盲。由于玩家有各种各样的能力，在战斗中就有非常多的解法，甚至可以一个不杀直接溜走，由此使得本作具有很丰富的可玩性。 [h3]不错的美术和画风[/h3] ⠀⠀⠀ 游戏是漫画画风，主角的造型设计的很有意思，服饰会随着光暗发生变化，这对玩家更清晰的判断自己是否处于阴影之中起到了很好的辅助作用，在阴影中会发光的服饰、面具还有头发显得格外的有意思。 [h3]线性开放相结合的地图和关卡[/h3] ⠀⠀⠀ 游戏一共8个关卡，整体呈宽线性，其中有纯线性的关卡，也有非常开放的关卡，也有半开放的小箱庭，如果除去第三章那整体的体验是非常不错的。第三章实在是太大太空了，跑起路来真的很费劲，玩到这里我还有以为后面都是这种大的一塌糊涂的破地图，东做一个任务西做一个任务，毕竟第二章也有些这种开放世界的倾向，还好后面都是更偏线性的关卡。这就是开放世界很容易产生的问题，跑路浪费时间，任务点地图上随意堆砌，显得粗制滥造，消磨玩家的精力和热情。

great stealth game with beautiful artstyle. Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a great stealth game, it reminds me of aragami which had two games I love from the bottom of my heart! Ereban: Shadow Legacy does feel not exactly like arami as this game has a different setting but If you like aragami you can or should buy this one! The gameplay is smooth, the music is good, the controls are great, the artstyle is wonderful and the flow is perfect. It´s a smooth ninja-style stealh game and gives you this beloved ´´tenchu-Vibes´´ I´m grateful we have developers who create games like this... otherwise I would probably stop playing games these days as I can´t bare anymore hollow AAA games. I bought it, I tested it and it sucked me in. I´m loving the game so far and I´m really curious to see what else Ereban: Shadow Legacy has to offer in my upcoming hours. 10/10

It's a good game with its own style, story, but it feels like there was a disagreement on the direction they wanted to go or simply tried to do too much and got in their own way. Each chapter's area is massive, set up for more of a more platformery and more combat kind of way. It feels like the world wants you to explore it but it also feels like 30-40% is for setting only and not actual gameplay. Collectables are really hard to find since they are well hidden and/or blend in so you can run around for hours trying to find that one area you need, hidden behind something you couldn't tell was meant to be interacted with.

В целом скорее да, чем нет, но есть к чему придраться. Тут интересный мир и шикарная основная игровая механика (взаимодействие со светом и тенями), но для такой роскоши игра преступно коротка. Попытки затянуть игровое время "побочными заданиями" или поиском секретов не помогают никак. А переигрывать не хочется, потому что сюжет средненький, головоломки ("головоломки") одноразовые, а почти все дополнительные навыки и гаджеты не нужны вообще.

I actually kinda loved it, the story and characters genuinely got me emotional while also making me feel like an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ since I wasn't able to complete gerel's missions and seeing them in the cell next chapter really hit me so the the second I beat the game (endings were amazing btw) I went back to gerel's chapter and completed their missions. I loved the stealth aspect too and going into the shadows is honestly a really cool concept that was really well done imo. and I cannot express how much I love the SYMs and the way they talk. I felt kinda bad killing them after eavesdropping on the most comedy gold conversations between them like "Good luck, you struggled to open a can of beans. Even simple can openers can perform such tasks." I liked the game way more than I thought I would
