Our take on Shadow of Azrael
The store pitch centers on spectacle, customization, and a 13-character roster, but gives little context about how matches are structured beyond local play and adjustable rules. The result is a clear arcade-fighting premise without much indication of progression outside individual bouts.
What is Shadow of Azrael?
Shadow of Azrael is a local fighting game built around matches for up to four players.
Its 13 playable characters have distinct abilities, including flight, beam attacks, high-speed movement, and progression during combat. Matches can include items or use a stripped-down one-on-one format, with settings that adjust the intensity of fights. Players can create custom combos and face computer-controlled opponents across five difficulty levels. The game also includes stages, animations, and graphics that the vendor says receive continuing updates, along with additional characters. Combat ranges from grounded street-style exchanges to fights where characters move through the air.
