#IshambardPresents Lost in Shadow - Wii
Developed by Hudson Soft, there is a lot of potential here. On its surface, Lost in Shadow is a conceptually cool and aesthetic idea. An action platformer that takes place in the shadows cast by foreground objects.
I wonder if the foreground elements would work as a functional game.
There are some puzzle elements, mostly done via a fairy companion who allows you to manipulate certain foreground elements, such as terrain and light sources, by using the WiiMote's cursor/pointing function.
The combat in the game is simple, if a little frustrating at times as the stages are quite long and death sending you back quite far at times.
The other issue I have with this game is, for all the coolness of the core concept, it feels a little underbaked and the game starts to feel a little like a slog as it doesn’t do too much to change up game flow. Even with the late game added mechanic of exploring certain areas in the foreground.
