Softpedia
By Radu HaulicaThe first chapter of Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms is pretty solid, offering a great mix of narrative and combat, but the following ones seem to favor combat over substance, which is a bit of a disappointment.
GameSpot
By Brandin TyrrelShadows: Heretic Kingdoms has fresh ideas, but needs more time to develop everything else.
RPG Fan
By Dave YeagerThe ideas that could have made this a great game are often undermined by the actual clicking feeling subpar.
Digital Chumps
By Steven McGeheeShadows: Heretic Kingdoms provides a great value and a superb action RPG experience.
Niche Gamer
By Carl BatchelorThose who are used to the slick action RPG combat of Diablo, Titan Quest or Sacred will probably come away with the same assessment I did, while those who are more interested in Planescape-style questing will find the patience necessary to trudge through the combat to get to the game's tasty dialog-saturated center. Since I am firmly in the former of those two categories, I walked away feeling very disappointed with Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, and wish more than anything that I could be a member of the latter group.
