Review

Ereban: Shadow Legacy emerges from the shadows as a strong contender in the indie stealth platformer arena. Baby Robot Games introduces us to Ayana, the heir to an enigmatic legacy, intertwining her fate with that of a universe teetering on the edge. The game excels at storytelling, weaving a narrative that's as compelling as it is dark. Ayana's shadow powers are not only a fresh twist on the stealth mechanics but also serve as an extension of the game's DNA - embracing the darkness to unfold her story. While some gameplay elements may seem familiar and occasionally uninspired, they are overshadowed by the game's agile platforming and strategic stealth gameplay. The length of the journey may leave players craving more, affirming both the game's addictive quality and its potential brevity. Though the technical aspects aren't groundbreaking, the careful attention to detail and balanced challenge offer a testament to Baby Robot Games' potential in future projects. Overall, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a title worth slinking into for both stealth aficionados and those drawn to a story-rich experience.
