A roguelike RPG based on incredibly complex mechanics and created by My Next Games - an independent Polish developer.

The player either fights the enemies or sneaks pass them, gathering loot and developing their character along the way.
The Shadowborn for PC is a roguelike RPG, which stands out with its relatively complex mechanics. The game is played from a top-down view and the action is set in a dark fantasy world. This is the debut of My Next Games - an independent Polish developer. The Shadowborn gained recognition on its very announcement, for it was awarded two prestigious prizes at the Digital Dragons 2015 conference (Poland). One of those was the Best Indie Game Award in the Indie Showcase contest.
Assuming the role of a daredevil, the player explores both dangerous and mysterious areas of the place known as the Archives. The player either fights their enemies or sneaks pass them unnoticed, gathering the loot and developing the protagonist. Character development is one of the most significant and interesting elements of The Shadowborn. Practically, every action of the player has its impact on the skills and personality of the protagonist - for instance, drinking beer regularly leads to alcohol addiction and reaching for every coin can result in falling ill with gold fever. Obviously, each of such conditions has its more or less perceptible influence on the course of the playthrough.
Also, other mechanics the game is based on display a high level of complexity. For example, wounds fall into different categories here. For each of different diseases and ailments, a different cure is needed. Medications have different forms as well. To illustrate, using the worst kind of bandages can cause an infection.
In The Shadowborn for PC, combat is unusual as well, for it combines elements of typical turn-based games with hack-and-slash mechanics. The game is a representative of the roguelike subgenere, thus high difficulty level is an important characteristic of it.
The Shadowborn for PC is a two-dimensional game offering pleasant graphics that resemble drawings.

Game Ratings for Soulblight Video Game.
Pure Nintendo: 4 / 10 by Kaelyn Daugherty
I really wanted to like Soulblight, but sadly I don't think this is a game I will be coming back to.
GamingTrend: 60 / 100 by Codi Spence
Soulblight is a top-down action roguelike that features simple yet tough combat. The tainting mechanic and injury effects are clever and keep things interesting. Unfortunately, combat is hard to master, and you may end up dying a lot more than you're willing to accept.
Nintendo Times: 7 / 10 by David Buck
Soulblight is a challenging action RPG with a unique twist, harkening back to the golden age of 16-bit action RPGs on the Super NES. High difficulty and roguelike elements may turn some off, but if those are things you like, then check this one out!
