About the Game

Wanted Shadows: Unchained is a standalone reimagining of 2023's Wanted Shadows. It's rebuilt from the ground up with compact arenas, a deepened progression system, and a hub that expands the game's world. You fight for survival in compact, high-intensity arenas where every movement counts. Unlock permanent weapons, learn what upgrades synergize with each other, and push your limits against tougher and tougher enemies.

 

What's New in Unchained

• Dual Weapon Combat | Equip both melee and ranged weapons, so that you can have 2 main weapons at any given time. Exploit their exclusive upgrades to come up with even more powerful combos.

• Compact Arenas | Levels are shorter and more compact. This means the game is more action-packed than ever, and every moment counts.

• Deeper Progression | With more characters, more upgrades, more powers, and more areas, there's more to do than ever. The new achievement system that adds permanent upgrades to your progression also increases the power ceiling to unprecedented levels.

• Living Hub World | Interact with characters, and learn more about the Shadows through the added hub world.

 

Whether you played the original or not, Unchained is the definitive way to experience the tight and chaotic Wanted Shadows gameplay experience. Also, if you own the original game, you'll get a 50% discount on this one through the Steam bundle!
