Styx: Master of Shadows

 
Join my communityJun 2, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWanna be my minions? Stick with me. Yeah, yeah, I get it, you’ve got other games to play, other things to do. But if you think you can keep up with me and not miss a beat of what’s coming next, you’re gonna need to crawl out of your little cave and follow my trail. I’m not gonna hold your hand, but I might drop some secrets, sneak peeks, and sharp-tongued comments, if you’re in the right place at the right time. Speaking of the right place, we’ve just opened a brand new Discord. Shiny, squeaky clean... (for now). Perfect place to talk about my glorious past exploits, share your wild theories, or just hang around with other sneaky types like you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45528906/3b23b78d447b827209f52f17ab6953c68c8c1e86.png Think of it as my hideout, and you? You’re part of my crew. My little sbires, gathering in the shadows, whispering about my brilliance and plotting whatever comes next. Got thoughts about that mess in Akenash? Korrangar? Want to yell at the devs? Fine by me, as long as I don’t have to moderate. Just remember who the real star is.

Don’t think I haven’t noticed you ignoring my shiny new Styx: Blades of Greed Steam page. Pathetic, really. You’re missing all the good stuff: sneak peeks, snark, and the kind of fun that only ends in betrayal (my specialty). But hey, since you clearly need catching up, I’ve graciously dumped the whole sordid tale of Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness right here. It’s a bit of a chunk to read, try not to strain that tiny brain of yours. Sit back, try to keep up, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll learn something. Just kidding. I’m standing right here, waiting for you to wishlist Styx: Blades of Greed. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3290690/Styx_Blades_of_Greed/ Go ahead. Click it. I’ll wait. What’s that? You think you’ll just skip it and pretend it doesn’t matter? Yeah, I can hear your excuses. "I’ll do it later". Sure, sure. I get it, you’re busy blah blah. I don’t care, I am busy too! You’ll quit first, though. I know you will. So go on. Show me you’re not a complete waste of space. Wishlist it. Now, last time, I gave you the grand tour of this rotten world. Humans being humans (a.k.a. the worst), orcs getting the short end of the stick, and a bunch of other races playing their parts in one giant, bloody mess. But this time? We’re talking about me. My story. My rise. My legend! Yeah, yeah, it’s been ages since my first adventure. Cry me a river. Time to refresh your memory. And for those clueless fools who don’t know my legend… well, consider yourselves honored. Not everyone gets a history lesson from the Styx. And before you get any bright ideas, yeah, there are spoilers if you never played my first adventure, Styx: Master of Shadows. If you don’t want your tiny brain ruined by the shocking truths of my past, now’s your chance to leave. Go on, discover my story by yourself, play my previous adventure Styx: Master of Shadows. I’ll wait. https://store.steampowered.com/app/242640/Styx_Master_of_Shadows/ …Still here? Good. Let’s get to it. Chapter 1: Master of Shadows (Or: The time a voice in my head wouldn’t shut up) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45528906/c4ee55ecbe4e80e39295a479fd922d49292792f2.jpg Once upon a time… I was a charming, talented, and incredibly handsome goblin with a penchant for sneaking, stealing, and stabbing. My target? The Heart of the World Tree, a big shiny blob of Amber hidden deep inside the Tower of Akenash, a giant tower in human territory. Why? Because Amber is power. It’s the sweet, addictive, glowing juice that makes me me. Smart, sneaky, deadly… basically everything you humans wish you were. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45528906/22fc32f4737a2a27c56a940a2c4872639e5c15c1.png *The Tower of Akenash houses the only World Tree on human territory.* But, of course, things weren’t that simple. See, the whole tower was crawling with guards, elves, and some nasty roach-like monsters. Plus, there was a little problem. Turns out, the more Amber I guzzled, the more I started to hear whispers. A...Styx is back. Took you long enough.Mar 6, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsIt’s been over 10 years since my first grand heist in Styx: Master of Shadows, and you sorry fools have been clueless since that Shards of Darkness cliffhanger. Pathetic, really. But don’t worry, I’m here to fix your ignorance. New heists, new tricks, new powers, same dumb Inquisition, and plenty of new suckers to outsmart. In Styx: Blades of Greed, I’m done taking orders. This time, I make the rules, and I’m after the dangerous treasure yet: Quartz. Along the way, you’ll finally figure out how I ended up dealing with the Black Hand and why the Great War was basically inevitable. https://youtu.be/raQj2vqngjU The master of stealth (me) is here! You’re Welcome. What do you want? You need a tutorial? A map? Someone to hold your hand? Pathetic. But it’s your lucky day. Today I'm in a good mood. Alright, listen up: Styx: Blades of Greed is coming and that means I’ve got work to do. A brand-new adventure, bigger heists, deadlier tricks, and an even sharper tongue. Get ready to sneak, steal, and stab your way through a world on the brink of war. Got my own crew (Yes I have my own crew now), my own zeppelin (Pretty cool, huh?), and my own mission: stealing every last piece of Quartz, the most powerful resource out there in this rotten world. Problem is, like in a classic Fantasy universe, there are some self-righteous lunatics (*cough* the Inquisition *cough*) and think they can stop me. Adorable. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3290690/ An action stealth game that rewards the clever If you’re the type who charges into fights swinging, go play something else. Styx: Blades of Greed is for people who know how to think. Each mission is a puzzle, and there is not just one solution. But don't be a coward, of course you’ll have to jump right into the action with me. And I’ve got more ways than ever to mess with my enemies: Cloning & Invisibility? Check ✅Classic moves, sharper than ever. Mind control & time shift? Check ✅ Quartz brings new toys to play with. Vertical gameplay? Check ✅ Grapple, glide, and climb your way to the top. A living world? Check ✅ Three massive playgrounds for me to loot. (Oh, and for you to explore, I guess.) And a LOT more! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27167528/0937f3dd8a8295b469d42ac5d6023b5214b13de8.jpg From pawn to boss No more working for the big guys. This time, I am the big guy. I’ve got my own crew, my own mission, and my own zeppelin (Still cool to say that for the second time). Together, we’re pulling off the heist of a lifetime, unless the Inquisition gets in our way. Spoiler: They will. Bigger spoiler: It won’t help them. Wishlist Now, or just hand over your gold early Let’s cut to the chase: Styx: Blades of Greed is coming, and you want it. You need it. And if you don’t hit that Wishlist button, well… I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want… Wait, who said that again? I forgot the rest. Whatever. Just do it.

You wanted to take the little oik and clean his fingernails, boot him into a bathtub, and scrub him down til he shone like an emerald. In his first adventure, the titular goblin (he’d smirk at being called titular) did some decent stealth, stabbing and scurrying through a handful of levels that were solid if unspectacular. It all worked fairly well but it didn’t pack any real surprises. Pleasingly, the sequel Shards of Darkness looks like it might deliver a polished version of the original, though some of the rough edges are still noticeable in the opening level I played last week. … Have You Played Styx: Master Of Shadows?Feb 8, 2017 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunHave You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Styx: Master of Shadows is a solid 6/10 game, but in an underserved genre that will still make it a worthwhile play to many. It’s a strict stealth game in which you play a goblin who clambers around a medieval city built in the clouds, where getting caught means almost certain death. … Watch the Art of Stealth TrailerJan 12, 2017 - Community Announcementshttp://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2017/02/1484213770-styx-winter-tease.gif Watch Styx subvert Elven defenses in a stealthy attack that sees him using throwing daggers, knives, traps and even chandeliers to distract and kill his enemies, and steal the coveted Quartz, a source of magical power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLhmDCl46-c As a nimble Goblin, Styx’s strengths are boosted by a magical Amber flowing through his veins, allowing him a plethora of magical abilities such as amber vision, a short-lived invisibility, and even the possibility the clone himself.

The titular goblin’s aerial abilities have been improved and expanded.

One of the new upgradeable abilities is the cocoon, which is a craftable item that you can throw to spawn your clone at a distance. Another new ability is called Rebirth, which teleports Styx to his clone’s location, killing it in the process. It can be used in a number of ways – to travel to spots that are difficult to reach, or to get out of danger when things get dicey. http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/50/1481797801-styx-shards-of-darkness-11.jpg You will need to use all of Styx’s tools and abilities to get to your goals. If you choose to specialize in crafting, Styx gets access to another craftable contraption, the Acid Trap, which dissolves enemy corpses after they step on them. This is particularly useful against enemies whose armor cannot be penetrated by Styx’s dagger, and enemies whose body is too heavy to carry.

The crossbow can be used not only to kill or disable enemies, but also to detach environmental objects crushing those below. http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/50/1481797801-styx-shards-of-darkness-09.jpg Cloning is one of Styx’s signature abilities, and they’ve received a major upgrade. One of the new upgradeable abilities is the cocoon, which is a craftable item that you can throw to spawn your clone at a distance. Another new ability is called Rebirth, which teleports Styx to his clone’s location, killing it in the process. It can be used in a number of ways – to travel to spots that are difficult to reach, or to get out of danger when things get dicey. http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2016/50/1481797801-styx-shards-of-darkness-11.jpg You will need to use all of Styx’s tools and abilities to get to your goals. If you choose to specialize in crafting, Styx gets access to another craftable contraption, the Acid Trap, which dissolves enemy corpses after they step on them. This is particularly useful against enemies whose armor cannot be penetrated by Styx’s dagger, and enemies whose body is too heavy to carry. Styx: Shards of Darkness comes out March 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC! You can preorder now the game on STEAM to get exclusive access to the Akenash set, donning the outfit and dagger from Styx's first adventure. http://store.steampowered.com/app/355790/
