Through the trailer, players can see some of Styx’s skills, how he uses stealth, his weapons, bold moves and the environment to get rid of the enemies. As you get more and more skilled in playing the game, you will be able to progress faster from level to level and it will be easier for you to go through levels undetected. Styx is armed only with his dagger and a few throwing knives for long range encounters. You need to rely more on the protagonist’s small scale and athletic skills to defeat the enemies. The environment can also be used as a weapon against the Human and Elf guardians. You can push people off ledges, pull them by the legs to the gallows, or leap from huge heights in Assassin’s Creed style and slit their throats. You can also drop crates on enemies or poison their drinking water.
In a nutshell, Styx: Master of Shadows is a stealth action game developed by Cyanide and published by Focus Home Interactive. The game is made using Unreal Engine 3 and it will be released for PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One this October. You can find more information on the game, plus several screenshots and gameplay videos on the official site.
