It also follows on the 2014 ARPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, continuing the story that had been promised (but not delivered) for "Book 2" but also expanding upon it with an all-new storyline, "making Shadows: Awakening not a sequel, but a full and completed experience."     > If you're not sure what exactly that means, the new "featurette" is here to help. It talks about the setting, including the Shadow Realm and the fact that the main character is actually a shape-shifting demon, and also showcases basic mechanics: Instead of building toward powerful high-end abilities, for instance, "synergy effects" will enable even early-game skills to become very powerful when used in combination with other abilities. There will be more than 150 enemies to deal with and nearly 60 boss fights, including optional bosses that will be particularly difficult to defeat.
