Two centuries old and thoroughly sarcastic, the Goblin Styx stars in Styx: Master of Shadows, a stealth game with role-playing progression set in a dark fantasy world. He has made his way into the enormous Tower of Akenash, home of the World-Tree and its magical Amber sap, hoping to learn about his origins and profit along the way. Missions involve getting past guards unseen, recovering information and eliminating targets, either with quiet kills or by staging accidents.
Amber-based abilities, such as invisibility or a decoy clone, complement skills unlocked through experience. The tower's vertical layout encourages searching for alternate routes. It is single-player with full controller support, suited to stealth fans who enjoy sneaking and planning.
