Shadowgrounds

Has anyone played this? Picked it up the other day and its an enjoyable game, reminds me of some of the old console games I used to play on the Megadrive.

It's a top down shooter with a Doom 3 like theme, graphics are pretty good with some impressive lighting.

yeah i played this, completed it with a friend. Its a good laugh!

i agree the lighting it v.good in this game. Was horrible trying to play it on a ps2 style gamepad though! ><

Been playing this a little more this evening and can't recommend it enough, loads of fun, worth checking out.

Is the following worth getting:

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/552/

Shadowgrounds
Shadowgrounds: Survivor

£2.79

I really like the look of it and the price is a BARGAIN surely?

Worth a punt for that price, might give it a whirl.

Aye i picked SG up for a quid and change. Not a bad game.

MeMeMeMe · 30 Dec 2009 at 20:10

Yes, the pack is well worth getting.
Shadowgrounds on its own for £3 is a steal. The sequel is well worth playing too.

I just completed the first one and I really enjoyed it from the beginning, but I think the last few levels let it down a bit. See spoiler for more....

SPOILER ALERT!!! said:
The mothership levels felt very repetitive as it was all just 'ah there's a barrier there, got to go through a teleport and find the console/generator and hack/destroy it'. It was pretty much that for all of those two bits.

Then the ending, I think I turned off for a few seconds as I completed it and the alien ghosts or whatever appeared, but I think I still got most of it. I mean wtf. Turns out the aliens are the good guys and they say 'oh no don't detonate the bomb as you will kill us all and destroy the solar system.' So the doc deactivates the bomb without a word and then the words 'THE END' just appeared. I was just sat there dumbstruck. How more stupid could the ending get! Maybe it's just me tired I don't know, but the last few levels and the ending really let down the game for me. Sure I'm still glad I bought the game and I still think it's good, but I wish I just never bothered with the last part at all.

I got the pack earlier before the deals ended, i previously played survior though but worth owning it myself i feel. Got that and the abe's games then good & evil too.

It's a good game. Sadly it gave me horrendous motion sickness so I didn't play more than about an hour or two in total :/

Damn. I was going to buy this during the sales but now its back up to £6.

and I promised myself that Borderlands would be my last steam purchase for just now.

Cracking game - very much like Alien Breed on the Amiga.

I complete the first ages ago and now onto the second. Having fun so far!

Its a great set of games and 6 quid is still a bargain.
