One of the most under-appreciated American rock bands of the late 70s finally has a videogame of their own, complete with legendary tunes like Mr. Roboto, Renegade and Come Sail Away. Styx are awesome and it's about time too. Here's hoping for a Foreigner tie-in next. Oh. Turns out that Styx: Master Of Shadows is actually a dark fantasy stealth game from Cyanide Studios."

Ross Everman of Fully 'Avin It writes: A few years from now, lets say 2024, a guy in his mid twenties will Google what was that awesome game about a swearing goblin who kills people from behind, and hell be directed to Styx: Master of Shadows. You know the kind of game, it never received the mainstream marketing of anything by EA or Activison, but you had so much fun playing it that it stayed with you forever.

From Strategyinformer.com: "On the face of it at least, Styx: Master of Shadows has a fairly unique premise. Rather than sticking folks with the usual, po-faced square-jawed protagonist, Cyanide Studios latest puts players in the gnarled, nasty boots of Styx; a foul-mouthed goblin who wants to steal the heart of the immeasurably powerful World Tree. Sadly, while Styx himself is a refreshing change from the usual turn of stealth adventure heroes, the rest of the game fails to match such a noteworthy departure from the norm".

Become the master of shadows

Styx: Master of Shadows marks a unique entry into 2014’s global gaming catalogue, with a very short and very… green antagonist, and hardcore stealth gameplay designed to reward player skill and strategy. Its new mechanics bring the stealth genre not only back to its roots, but also brings a breath of fresh to it. Vertical level design, organic player path finding and fluid movement, and the constant threat of being overpowered by the enemy makes Master of Shadows a tense and strategic stealth game like no other before it. Battle your way to the top of the lofty Tower of Akenash through immense and vertiginous levels that highlight the vertical perspective. You will complete numerous missions with various objectives as you climb – murder, information recovery, theft of precious artifacts, etc – and gradually reconstruct the puzzle that provides the key to the mystery of your origins. The levels are open and the objectives can be completed in various ways: you are therefore free to choose the best way to proceed and the most suitable strategy to employ to achieve and complete your mission objectives. But remember you’re a Goblin: if your target is twice your size, or more, you're better off eliminating them silently… and in the back!

Just ahead of its release, Focus Home Interactive dropped the official launch trailer for Styx: Master of Shadows, the standalone game featuring the stealthy goblin from the game Of Orcs and Men. While the original fantasy-medieval title didn't quite win over critics in any sizable way, it looks as if Cyanide Studios is going after the Assassin's Creed crowd with Styx.

Shadow of Mordor already looks nice, but these graphical settings comparisons really bring out the Shadows of Mordor.

This week's build uses two copies of the same Unique Axe in different hands combined with an inferno of fire damage to create a devastating character that leaps from one enemy to the next, setting them on fire as it goes.
