You're thrown into the game as a wizard in training, forced into a fight to save the land from another evil wizard. Without many plot twists or interesting characters,
Shadoan's story will quickly fail to impress.
Throughout the game, you will go from place to place with your bag of goodies, trying to solve puzzles, help the locals, and further the incredibly slow story. When you get to a place where an action can be performed, you'll get to choose between a few of your items and decide which one might be the right one. Choosing the wrong item will either get you killed, or you'll have to leave and come back. Getting killed really isn't what it sounds like. You just get sent to a different area on the map, and you have to walk back to where you were before. This is good though, as you can't save your game, due to it being a DVD.
Without much action, character interaction, or anything else that might lead to a fun experience, the gameplay is very thin. Let this be a lesson to all game developers: DVD games do not allow for great gameplay.
