- ShadowFlare: Episode 2 Review - The conclusion for
ShadowFlare: Episode 2 is that it is essentially extended gameplay of
Episode 1. Much like an expansion pack for a title, it adds new levels,
monsters, and opportunities for the player to reenter a realm of monsters and
magic. E2 is equally priced as E1 at 14.99 and available as a 200 odd MB
download. The gameplay is a reasonable length for the price, although to play
through all 4 titles would cost $60 - higher than a single title for other
even more complicated and lengthy RPGs available on the market.
