Summary
Shadow Sorcerer is a game set in the world of the Dragonlance novel series. The player leads a group of four heroes who have just freed 800 slaves and must guide them through the wilds before the menacing Dragon army closes in. The game features three distinct layers of gameplay:
- Strategic mode, where the player navigates the refugees through dangerous terrain to ensure their safe passage.
- Tactical mode, where the party delves into dungeons and explores key locations in search of supplies, clues, and riches to aid their journey.
- Political mode, where the player interacts with refugee leaders and must persuade them to keep trusting and following the group.
All three layers unfold in real-time, with the relentless dragon forces constantly in pursuit, gradually reducing the number of survivors.
