Like with Super Metroid, there are plenty of other power-ups, but part of the fun is discovering them for yourself. As long as your explosive hits the foam, it’ll stick and blow your foe to smithereens. If a particular baddie is bothering you, launch some foam his way, then chuck a grenade. Wait, did you think I was done? There’s one more use for this sticky substance, and that’s to attach to enemies. Is a purple door with a retinal scan blocking your way? Simply cover up the scanner, and you’re good-to-go. This tool/weapon can also be used to open doors. Foam will attach to nearly any building structure (and foam itself), so if you need to cross large chasms, the Foam Gun may be your best solution. Is that large gap filled with electrically charged water getting you down? Shoot some foam at the nearest object, and it’ll stick to it like glue. Unlike much of the other equipment in Shadow Complex, the Foam Gun is entirely original, and has a variety of uses. The Thrust Suit isn’t all that different from a double jump in Super Metroid (it’s like a limited-burst jetpack), but the bubbly Foam Gun will even make a chatty Cathy silent. Even better, are his accessories like the Foam Gun and Thrust Suit. If his Mario-esque butt stomp can’t faze her, his genome-soldier looking suit surely would. Samus would possibly win in a firefight with her energy weapons, but I’m not sure if she could stand up to Jason’s fearsome ground pound. You’ll spend a lot of time firing these realistic weapons, but your secondary equipment is the meat of this full-course meal. (sorry, no guns with a chainsaw attached Gears fans), but these are merely the appetizers. Jason will obtain an assortment of firearms: pistols, automatics, shotguns, etc. His final form is the closest thing you can get to being a god-on-earth, but his early gear is equally impressive.
So Jason starts out as a nobody, but exploring with a flashlight wouldn’t be fun for long, right? My friends, you’re in luck, because over the course of his adventure, Jason will gain access to a variety of futuristic military garb. Being the brave lad that you are, you decide to pursue her, and your Metroid-esque adventure begins. Unfortunately, it’s not your girl–well it is, but she’s being “escorted” by some soldiers that look like they’re straight out of a sci-fi movie. Soon, you hear footsteps, so like a good boyfriend, you hide.
A few minutes later, you discover what looks to be a military based hidden beneath the caves. He decides to find out what happened to her. I know, some guys would be tempted to leave, but Jason is not like that. Her gear allows you to climb, but unfortunately, there’s still no girlfriend to be found.
ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER SHADOW COMPLEX MAP SERIES
As you explore a series of dark caves with your flashlight, you come across your girlfriend’s climbing gear. Unfortunately, this is no friendly game of hide-and-go-seek. Your daring girlfriend decides to wander off without you, so you’re stuck pursuing your love who you think is hiding. Her childhood memories obviously got the best of her, because she asks you to tag along on a spelunking trip. Shadow Complex’s main character, Jason, shares Samus’ bad luck streak, but in a different way.Īt the beginning of the game, you’re out on a nature excursion with your girlfriend. In Metroid games, you typically start with all your equipment, but somehow, it ends up scattered to the winds. Shadow Complex may draw heavily from Super Metroid, but it somehow manages to turn a fifteen-year old formula into something that stacks up with this generation’s hits. Thankfully, Shadow Complex is neither of those its gameplay actually manages to eclipse that found in many retail titles of this generation. Visuals are an important component of most games, but everyone knows that eye candy is worthless if it’s hiding a broken or generic game. The characters of this sci-fi tale don’t look as impressive as those in Gears of War, but they’re still quite detailed, and they make it difficult to believe that this is a downloadable game. They provide for a convincing setting, and there is no noticeable pop-up or slowdown. Shadow Complex’s beautiful environments consist of futuristic bases, crystal clear lakes, and dank caverns.
The dark, gritty environments are unsettlingly realistic, and the characters look amazing. The graphics were developed with the Unreal Engine, and it shows.
Everything about this title oozes with personality–from the dark, realistic visuals to the wonderful power-up system, partly inspired by Super Metroid.
ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER SHADOW COMPLEX MAP FULL
Chair Entertainment’s lovechild was crafted with the utmost care, which makes it hard to believe that this wasn’t a full retail game. Despite being developed by a relatively unknown company, Shadow Complex puts the majority of downloadable games on all three consoles to shame.
