Styx - E3 Preview @ Side Questing

Side Questing has posted a new preview of Styx: Master Of Shadows from E3 that is based on a demo with the games Lead Designer Julien Descourtieux.

Left field is where Styx: Master of Shadows seems to have come out of. Going in to E3 I knew nothing about the game or the Of Orcs and Men property. Coming out of our preview demo at Focus Home Interactive’s booth, I suddenly feel like left field is much closer to home than before. Styx looks like it may be a fun, enjoyable late Summer experience.

Our demo is guided by Julien Desourteaux, Lead Designer. “Master of Shadows is very much a stealth action game,” Desourteaux says. “Styx is one of the most popular characters in Of Orcs and Men, and we wanted to show how things from his vantage point in his own game.” That vantage point — lower to the ground, moving through dark alleys, hiding evidence and objects – is what sets Styx apart from other stealth-themed games. Being in a sort of perpetual crouched position means that we need an alternate set of actions to complete missions.
