I'm not much of a tower defence player, but the quaint style of this game got me interested. However this is not for the faint hearted, one the easiest setting I struggled my way through the game and was unable to finish all the special missions.The level design and gameplay is great, I throughly enjoyed it. The story is interesting and what seems obvious at first turns out not to be so obvious. The voice acting is a little off-kilter but quirkishly amusing.. There are few games that I find myself unwilling and unable to complete. This is one of them. It has an interesting mechanic of territory control (pushing shadows back with your imaginary tower-friends), and it creates a nice sombre tone with its cut-scene art.However, it is ultimately a tower defense game that lacks player-friendliness and failed to have an impact on me. Skill points that you allocate are absolutely permanent. If you find yourself unhappy or unable to progress because of your skills, you'll have to restart the game from scratch to repick your skills. Further, winning battles leaves me unsatisfied, and I'm more irritated than distraught when I lose my units, little yellow plushies with no personality. The cut-scene art is nice, but the inexpert voice-acting can be grating if you pay attention to it.Lastly, installing this game means you have to install Quicktime as well. This is how the game plays its cutscenes. It's pointed out in the requirements (har har as if we read those), but if you have the same hate on Apple I've noticed in some Steam threads, then this is just icing on the "Try something else" cake. I only recommend this game to hardcore tower-defense game enthusiasts who enjoy skill-picking with no backtracking, and who do not listen to cut-scenes..

The style is what stands out most in Shad\u2019O as well as the few boss fights. But it\u2019s a very generic TD game and probably only worth a play through for hardcore TD fans desperate for anything new.. Did not enjoy this game the slightest. Frustrating gameplay that more or less forces you to do some "Tower Juggeling" where you have to sell towers and build in new spots on almost every level. To bad for a game that has a very nice artstyle that i enjoyed.. I'm sitting in the middle on this one. Made from a small indie team they certainly did a decent job. Probably the best story ever in TD game. However, some small issues can make the game somewhat tedious. There is no speed up button. But in saying this a lot of the maps are covered by fog of war so that until you place a tower you cannot see. This makes the hardest difficulty quite interesting and therefor you probably don't want to speed things up.Slightly different towers, but not a very good variety. Decent amount of levels and the challenge is what you expect. Normal is pretty easy and hard can be fairly hard. However, you can let quite a few enemies get through as your memory (think defense grid cores) is one collective. So you can pass the level even if say 15 guys get through. As long as your memory has the tiniest bit of health left, no problem.Personally i would recommend for TD junkies only and or people that enjoy a somewhat decent story. (Nothing major but i found it quite interesting after finishing hard mode on all the levels.Price isn't too bad, so if you see on sale and you enjoy TD games i'd say grab it.. Nice Tower Defend Game.. Never buy this game, it needs specific version of QuickTime, it will not work without this bullcrap. Plus even tho Quick Time has exploits and will put your PC at risk.. Fun tower defense. Requires replaying some of the scenarios until the mobs' abilities are learned.Two minor cons are apparent: Quicktime installation is required and the poor English translation of a somewhat mediocre over-arching storyline detracts from the game slightly, however the basic concept of fighting inside one's nightmares is otherwise well executed and lends itself to interesting environments. - Skinny from the Fat B*stard (curator link)
