Shadowstone Launches a Steam Next Fest Demo

Built for both solo play and cooperative online multiplayer, a run of Shadowstone starts with players selecting up to 4 heroes to face the ruins' horrors and fight their way from the depths. Each attempt presents a new challenge with an endless array of randomized rooms and monsters. Players must find powerful synergies across heroes and smartly navigate each battlefield to escape as a team.

Shadowstone takes place in the shadowstone-infested ruins of the Sunderlands, the fantastical animal world introduced in Secret Door's SunderfolkTM. Shadowstone is a standalone experience from Sunderfolk that requires no experience with its campaign. Fans will recognize some returning heroes, including the hulking Berserker and chaotic Pyromancer, alongside new ones, such as the mystical Witch.

• Master Tactical Gameplay: Navigate each battlefield with deliberate positioning in the turn-based tactical gameplay of Shadowstone. Achieve victory by using each hero's unique skills, such as duplicating items as the Witch or charging as the Berserker to displace enemies into dangerous lava.
• Endless Combinations to Play: Each attempt to escape the Shadowstone-infested ruins presents a new nightmare with an endless array of randomized rooms and monsters. Every run requires its own strategy based on a constantly evolving pool of skill cards, versatile equipment, and adaptive powerups.
• Powerful Hero Synergies: Build powerful synergies by upgrading and selecting complementary spells across heroes. Execute complex multi-hero ability combinations to devastate enemy monsters.
• 1-4 Player Co-op: Take command of multiple heroes solo, or band together with up to four friends in online multiplayer. Mastering the strengths and weaknesses of different party compositions is essential to survive against the horrors shrouded in shadowstone power.
