Highlights

  • Unique Gameplay Choices: Lethal vs. Non-Lethal Approaches
  • Inspiration Behind Ereban: Shadow Legacy's Innovative Concept
  • Tribute to Stealth Gaming Legends: Dishonored and Aragami

Experience a fresh take on the stealth genre with the recent release of Ereban: Shadow Legacy. Join Ayana, the last Ereban assassin, on a quest to thwart Helios and uncover her people's fate. Players can adopt lethal tactics using Ayana's Shadow Powers or opt for a non-lethal approach by skulking in the shadows.

In an exclusive chat with Game Rant, Alex Márquez, the creative mind behind the game, emphasized that players' choices in Ereban: Shadow Legacy shape Ayana's legacy. This flexibility underscores the studio's vision for the game: a heartfelt homage to classic stealth titles.

Decoding Your Playstyle in Ereban: Shadow Legacy

The concept of Ereban: Shadow Legacy germinated during the developers' university days. Driven by their love for stealth games, they envisioned a unique gameplay mechanic where shadows play a pivotal role. This idea eventually materialized into Ereban after years of relentless dedication.

Márquez, a staunch advocate of non-lethal gameplay, drew inspiration from titles like Dishonored. In Ereban: Shadow Legacy, players face a moral dilemma when encountering SYMULANTS and Helios workers. While dispatching robots poses no ethical qualms, eliminating human foes infuses Ayana with additional shadow power.

Ereban's Ode to Stealth Genre Icons

Besides his fondness for Dishonored, Márquez lauded Aragami for its influence on Ereban. The allure of stealth games lies in the thrill of infiltration, strategic planning, and on-the-fly decision-making when plans go awry. Ereban: Shadow Legacy embodies this essence and pays homage to the genre's rich heritage.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is now available for PC players to immerse themselves in the realm of shadows.
