What Is Wanted Shadows Pocket Edition?
The Wanted Shadows Pocket Edition is the mobile port of the popular Steam game bearing the same name, which was launched in October 2023. Wanted Shadows falls into the category of Bullet Heaven. For those unfamiliar with Bullet Heaven, it refers to the intense action where you’ll be dodging a massive amount of enemy projectiles on the screen. The story puts you in the shoes of a demon defending your territory on Halloween night. You’ll need to use your skills and wit to mow down hordes of enemies.
Pre-registration is available for the game, and as per the App Store description, it is expected to release on March 13, 2024. Information about an Android release remains uncertain. It’s worth noting that this is a paid game, priced at $0.99. Those who want to pre-order the game can do so from the App Store. Though there’s no word on the Android release of the game!
Gameplay and Features Highlight
Wanted Shadows throws you into a chaotic but rewarding world that blends bullet-heaven intensity with rogue-lite progression. You take on the role of a demon defending your territory against a relentless onslaught of enemies on Halloween night.
The gameplay revolves around intense bullet-heaven action. The screen will be flooded with enemy projectiles that you’ll need to dodge with precise movement and sharp reflexes. Mastering this dance of avoidance is crucial for survival. To fight back, you’ll have access to a variety of weapons and trinkets, each with unique firing patterns. And experimenting with these and finding synergies between them is key to maximising your damage output.
