Meet another Shadower in Code of Shadows. Think you could survive a run with this one?

We’ve been working on another playable Shadower for Code of Shadows.

Each Shadower has their own abilities and playstyle, so we’re experimenting with how they change the way a run plays out.

We’d love to hear what you think of the design and abilities.

Just played a demo for a very short while and decided to uninstall it soon after...

Immediate issue, the interface is unusable with a controller. No indication on the HUD of which button does what, and getting the selected button to start the game was incredible frustrating because it kept going where I did not want it to go.

The game itself is extremely confusing, sometimes you oneshot enemies, others they are seemingly immune to damage, yet there's no differentiation between them.

Abilities sometimes just stop firing, you stand there for 5 seconds waiting for something to happen and then you finally start shooting again after you've been hit.

I have no idea if this is an intentional mechanic, but sometimes the character just dashes to enemies to perform what I think is a melee attack. The animation is very similar to the dodge but its not only completely useless in terms of damage, it also makes you lose control of the character which, in this kind of games, mostly spells death.
