Cheers and merry Christmas! I'm grateful for touch arcade and all the great reviews and gaming deals they announce!!! J2o Well-Known Member Mar 4, 2011 393 0 0 #3 J2o, Dec 19, 2014 I barely feel like playing Skyrim. Should I still get Shadow Sun? Vellrath Active Member Dec 30, 2012 30 0 6 #4 Vellrath, Dec 20, 2014 On the contrary, my expectations are quite high for this one. Did you not notice the description and pedigree the developers boast!? It might not have the best graphics and be a little rough around the edges, but considering the previous projects this team has been involved in, this is a definite pick-up for anybody with a taste for WRPGs.
