Synopsis
Synopsis
Languages Information Proposed by
Anglais While very young, Aarbron was kidnapped and enslaved by the Priests of the Beast Lord. He grew up on drugs made to destroy his own will and turn him into the Beast Messenger, a powerful creature serving Maletoth, The Beast Lord himself. He did his job, until one day he noticed a man about to be sacrificed in a ritual, his face triggering ancient memories... and as the sacrificial knife descended into the man's body, Aarbron recognizes the face. Of his father.
As his father dies in the altar, memories of his childhood and tormented past at the hands of the Beast Lord emerged, and as feelings of hate over his captors took over him, he swore revenge and fled the temple, knowing the road to avenge his father and redemption would be hard.

Shadow of the Beast, one of Psygnosis most popular titles during the 16-bit computer era is a side-scrolling platformer best known for the use of parallax scrolling along lush graphics, a musical score by David Whittaker, a iconic cover by Roger Dean and what many consider to be unforgiving gameplay, balancing between the "very challenging" and the "impossible". The player has to navigate through several areas filled with enemies and traps, collecting keys and activating triggers than open new areas or give Aarbron the means to overcome a sub-boss. The number of moves the player has at disposal is limited: duck, jump and only two attacks: punch and a flying kick. While most enemies die with just one hit, the player must time each attack accurately. However, there are also traps of objects that cannot be destroyed, and these require the player to jump, duck or move according the sequence. The player has only one life with 12 hit points that can be replenished by collecting some objects hidden in the level (like an off-route location or a under a megalith), which also contributes to the difficulty level.
Espagnol Shadow Of The Beast es un juego de plataformas de desplazamiento lateral. El jugador tiene que navegar a través de varias áreas llenas de enemigos y trampas, recolectando llaves y activando disparadores que abren nuevas áreas o le dan a Aarbron los medios para vencer a un sub-jefe. El número de movimientos que el jugador tiene a disposición es limitado: agacharse, saltar y solo dos ataques: golpe y patada voladora. Mientras que la mayoría de los enemigos mueren con un solo golpe, el jugador debe cronometrar cada ataque con precisión. Sin embargo, también hay trampas de objetos que no se pueden destruir, y estas requieren que el jugador salte, se agache o se mueva según la secuencia. El jugador solo tiene una vida con 12 puntos de golpe que se pueden reponer recogiendo algunos objetos ocultos en el nivel (como una ubicación fuera de ruta o debajo de un megalito), lo que también contribuye al nivel de dificultad.
Es considerado un clasico y es un juego que se encuentra en muchisimas consolas.
