ShadowFlair is a fun episodic Action RPG game in the early 2000s that I don't see talked about much! So here it is for you to play in full! This includes all the episodes in one big package! I also threw in some bonus stuff like the Item Catalogue (A way to track items you find in game), maps, guides and anything else you may wanna use on a second run of the game, or if you get stuck! If you have any issues or questions, just let me know! Enjoy!

I was happy to get this one up! Such a hidden gem of a game ::biggrin
 
I recently started playing again, and I must warn the new players, that this game doesnt have default MP regeneration. After several hours of playing, i managed to get one (1) item that grants me some slow MP regeneration. If you want to be a mage, game will be hard at first, because you will always need to fill your inventory with MP restoring items (which means you will not have space to pick up other stuff).
That is honestly about right for any game. AKA slow/hard start for mages from the get go but powerhouses later on. Low amount of Mana/spells and a while to get them back so nothing new honestly

I did main a mage in that game and you are absolutely right. Being a mage is hard from start to end in that game imo but you can deal some crazy damage from far. It helps a ton in the later chapters with brutal common enemys.

Thanks for this. I totally forgot about this game. I vaguely remember playing the shareware EP 1 a long time ago..

Is there anyway to hold left click to attack? I hate having to keep clicking and it is the main thing from keeping me from wanting to keep playing. Totally forgot about that detail... Maybe there is a mod?
I dont think theres a mod that changes that sadly. Its just one of those games with a choice like that. You could maybe get some program that turns your mouse clicks to turbo mode or something so holding click makes it act like your clicking it over and over

Game works on Linux.

Add it to Steam and in Compatibility use Proton 9.0.4 (any other version should work) and that's it.
I'll add that to the description! Thanks!
 
I came across that and yeah t its rather NOT good. Text is still a tiny mess and unreadable for me. I need something that will actually increase the entire window/game size to about 2.5x
 
Now I just need to figure out how to run this at a higher resolution in window mode. Neither DGVoodoo2 nor DXWnd seem to be working with the game and its still a tiny window on my screen
There is a resolution patch you can get but it doesn't work good. It ups the res but the play area is still in the same square it would be if it was windowed normally so it just made no sense to include it.

If they ever made a true resolution patch I add it to this!

Please tell me that this is all the episodes in one zip. Yeah it was a PAIN to install in the past using the installers/cd keys
 
Been awhile since I saw this game. Played it back when I was digging up all the jank Diablo clones. I remember it being a pain in the ass to install.
That's why I'm happy there's this version thats just pick up and play! Also ya its jank but I love it.

Having a great time with the game! It's giving Divine Divinity vibes, and that's one of my all-time favorites.

A (possibly dumb) question though: When going to load a game, I noticed that there were other profiles available from what looked like other people's progress. I've never played this before so those aren't my local saves, so how's that possible? Is there some kind of cloud save situation enabled where we have access to other people's saves? I'd hate for anyone to get bored and delete my progress if that's the case.

Anyhow, thank you for getting this thing together for us. I'm really enjoying it so far.
Im glad your having fun!

I just looked into it and it seems to be test saves from where I found this version of the game from. Just ignore them and save over them! No cloud saving in this game. I will update the page to reflect this. Thank you ::biggrin

I'm also one who scratches at the dark corners of the gaming world with a gnarled finger to find all of the goodness out there, but I primarily pride myself on having played the rarest of the rare RPGs as that genre is my bread and butter. This particular contribution is a surprise though, and I'm never shocked. And you've included additional resources and even guides and extra tidbits? No exaggeration, you're my favorite human being right now.

If there's anything I can do to support your work, please let me know. The kind of stuff that you're contributing is the core of who I am. It brings me immense joy. I'd love to help your contributions along in any way that I can.
Thank you and honestly if you have any game recommendations id love to hear it! That would help a lot since I love to learn about new ones. It really does help!

There were actually more stuff that I was going to include in this but it was more maps that were kinda the same, a server creator that doesn't work anymore and I almost didn't include the item catalogue until I got that fix from someone who helped me!

I hope the uploads continue to please! There really is no best way to help just enjoy the site and the uploads people put on here! I think you can follow me? I dont know what that does but if it does anything try that! Not telling you to do it though, your call on that.
 
Thank you so much ::heart

I am someone who has probably played more games then any normal human should ::sailor-embarrassed

BUT I love gaming so that is a huge plus for me! Expect to see more obscure goodness in the coming weeks! I tend to upload slow but I am going to make a good majority of them obscure goodies!

Ahhh yes, the one diablo clone that actually looks good.

Right in front of my salad? Divine Divinity exists, y'know. ::badpc
