Shadow Trick Gameplay:
As a shadow-shifting wizard, you'll navigate a magical castle brimming with challenging levels. The core mechanic involves switching between your physical form and shadow self to solve puzzles, evade traps, and outsmart enemies.
This magical castle houses 24 levels, each containing three elusive moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals unlocks the complete game ending. This feat requires skillful boss battles, demanding perfect runs without taking damage. Bosses present unique challenges; for instance, the red ghost's disappearing act adds an extra layer of difficulty.
The game boasts diverse environments, from standard castle areas to aquatic levels where you'll navigate as a shadow, encountering bizarre and captivating fish bosses.
