Shadowgrounds Demo is worth checking out
February 13th, 2006
My ammo is low, my flashlight just ran out, and five alien baddies just burst through the floor-grating and want to sharpen their teeth on my eye holes. Good times.
I’m travelling right now (read: I’m sitting here bored in my hotel) but I just spent an hour playing through the Shadowgrounds demo, and I’m damn glad to have found it on fileplanet. Picture a sci-fi Diablo with ranged automatic weapons, and lots o’aliens, and you pretty much can put the rest together. The demo has a slight ramp up of backplot, but soon you’ll be slugging through waves of alien baddies in the dark cooridors of a bloody moon base.
The game isn’t groundbreaking, it’s not outta control good, but it’s damn fun. Piece of advice - play on Normal difficulty (easy is too easy), and don’t blow though your chaingun ammo right away. You’ll know it when you need it.
