Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn the lamp. Shape the battlefield. Shadowbox Tactics is a turn-based strategy game where every figurine projects a different attack. Move your company between brass stage marks, slide the footlight, and watch the board transform before you commit. Every cast fires all your shadows at once. Cross two attacks on one shade to trigger an Eclipse combo. Break protective Wards, push threats away from the frame, and preserve your Integrity as the shades advance. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Opening Night: a handcrafted five-act campaign that builds toward the Crowned Shade • Daily Shadow: a date-seeded five-act challenge that changes each day and works entirely offline BUILD YOUR COMPANY Choose one upgrade after each cleared act. Widen every shadow, strengthen Eclipse combos, reinforce and repair the frame, improve a specialist, or recruit the three-rayed Prism Fox. PLAN BEFORE YOU CAST • Live attack areas show exactly which enemies each figurine will hit • Combat forecasts reveal incoming HP damage, broken Wards, and Push distance • Four figurines create distinct beams, forks, cones, and prisms • Autosave lets you leave a performance and continue later • High scores and victories stay on your device • VoiceOver labels and adjustable controls support nonvisual play No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. No internet connection required.
