Line 1: {{work}} [[File:Shadow Complex cover.jpg\|framed]] A woman and the man interested in her go on a date that involves spelunking. You think this would be a fun little date, right? Nope. The woman is captured by black ops troopers, and the man pursues her and her captors into an underground base, where a sinister organization called the Restoration is waiting to bring forth what it believes will be a new golden age for America and the world. Starting with only a pistol, a flashlight, and some climbing gear, the man begins to tear the base apart looking for a way out... ~~Part~~'''''Shadow Complex''''' is part of the ''[[Orson Scott Card's Empire\|Empire]]'' universe, by [[Orson Scott Card]] -; the Empire novel was actually written for this game, not the other way around. Developed by Chair Entertainment in association with [[Epic Games]], it was heavily promoted and released to near-universal acclaim on [[Xbox Live Arcade]]. The gameplay is essentially just like that of a refined ''Super [[Metroid]]'': the protagonist, Jason, runs around a 2D base, gaining equipment, items, and levels as he explores more and more of the place and unravels the sinister plot that is about to be put into action. It uses the [[Game Engine\|Unreal Engine 3]] and notably introduces "2.5D" elements smoothly into classic [[Metroidvania]] gameplay, such as allowing Jason to shoot enemies in the background of the stage. It's short, but it's also only $15 and is easily available to anyone with an [[Xbox 360]] and an Internet connection. With 50 experience levels, 100 items to collect, and an intriguing story interwoven with compelling gameplay, $15 is quite a steal for one of the best games of the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] platform. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[100% Completion]]: Required if you want the Completion achievement. * [[Air Vent Passageway]]: A fairly prominent method of slipping through the complex, both to avoid combat and just to get around. Some of the vents are reinforced with plating that renders them resistant to everything short of a missile launcher.
