Story Synopsis:
Shadow Complex propels lost hiker Jason Fleming into the hollows of government conspiracy, dark political motives, and military upheaval. When Jason and his girlfriend Claire accidentally stumble upon a rogue paramilitary group called The Restoration, it soon becomes clear that the faction’s intent is to set in motion a chain of events that will cause America to collapse into a new civil war. Along the way, Jason acquires many high-tech “toys” The Restoration is developing, and eventually becomes a super-powered engine of destruction.

Shadow Complex Remastered reviews and comments

Short Version: Cool 2D Ball game (Jump 'n Shoot) Long Version: Cool 2D Ball Game:-). You run through an underground Complex, collect weapons and Armor upgrades, and baller everything over the Heap. There are few unfair Spots. Backtracking is limited. The Story is O.K. but not the Focus. The Game has a Memory point System whose Memory points are widely distributed. There are no more Things to say, except that I enjoyed it a lot. Relaxing and not too strenuous.

(Predecessor never played) Game I like very much, Play out as similar As Super Metroid (SNES-best Gamer ever) ... But of course it has significantly better Graphics and the Gameplay isn't quite as hectic. Sure it has a Bug every now and then .. The AI is of course stupid as Bread but you forget this very quickly, because it just makes you feel Like. I just find it kind of way too easy ... Even at the highest Difficulty level, it plays like other Games on easy. The current 10 Euros are a very good Investment, I think!

Shadow Complex, a small Metroidvania Game. That's what it says is for the Game not to be for everyone! It consists of VERY VIEL Backtracking, and many probably lose out because they are attractive to play through:( Well, what keeps me playing, though, are the Unlockable Weapons, hidden Secrets and the little funny Story (because of the Women beating). Story: You have to save your Girlfriend who was kidnapped by a Kind of Terror Group. Very broken down but I don't want to anticipate anything. But It also gets a bit boring before the end. But the End in itself will hit you in the Face ... It was more likely ... Unexpectedly. Gameplay: You climb up your Way to large Labs and shoot your way through a few Enemies. You have a Handful of Weapons, all of which can be killed a little, for example, Accuracy. Aim makes the Game on the PC very easy and you usually don't die by the opponents, but because you wanted to try something new (Grenade Bounces on the Wall directly into the face from the Opponent). Climbing is very nice as it goes very well off your Hand and hardly needs to get used to it as it is just funktrionians. Graphic: It lamps up on the UE-3 what you can sometimes see (texture streaming), but that also somehow fits the Game! The Game lows but very fluid But also has few Graphic Opions. Looks also a bit dated but ... Graphic isn't the only:) Unfortunately also very kurtz, about 5-7 Hours and one is through. You can find more Secrets at a new Beginning, but that's why:/ Otherwise a good Game and also worth the Money! However, Recommend buying it on Key Stores (I habs get for 55 Cents, would also spend more!). PS: I've played the Game on the X-Box before and I'll play it again on the PC.
