Hired for a critical mission, explore and master huge open environments as Styx, alone or in coop with a friend. Assassinate or sneak past enemies – Humans, Elves and Dwarfs – but also much more fearsome, colossal creatures, and experiment with the new array of lethal abilities and weapons in your goblin assassin's arsenal. Spend experience points in assassination, infiltration, magic, to learn new skills and improve abilities. Explore, recover valuable artifacts and ingredients to craft deadly traps and useful items, and create clones of yourself to deceive your enemies!

NOTE TO PLAYERS STARTING AT THIS GAME – WHAT DOES “RAKASH” MEAN?
This is the second Styx game (the first was “Styx, Master of Shadows”). Story wise, there’s no link between the two games, so you won’t miss anything by starting with this game (game number two) … except for one little detail:
Styx the Goblin calls other goblins “Rakash”, and it’s never explained what it means.
It’s slang term that has its origin in the first game, and for the purpose of this game (game two), it can be translated into something like “cheap version of me”.
MY OPINION ON THE GAME
The first game was great, and this game improves on everything – except for the story.
The story in the first game was intriguing and brilliantly told, but this time it’s just a run of the mill generic espionage story – with a very clumsy, anticlimactic ending!
But aside from the story, the game is really good! Great game play, gorgeous looking surroundings, fantastic level designs, and fun objectives to complete (for both casual players and for completionists).
There are around 20 maps to complete (including the tutorial). Some of the maps are used twice, you'll just have different objectives the second time you do the map.
It took me about 20 hours to complete the game (I'm a casual player).

As a child, when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I told them "a despicable goblin that skulks in the shadows, snickering to myself as I murder and pilfer to my heart's content". I was devastated when it was revealed to me that such a career path does not exist, but the release of Styx: Shards of Darkness significantly lessened this blow.
