If you're often itching for a challenge, you've probably turned to shooters and wave shooters that test your gaming skills against overwhelming enemy armies. Swiss-based Sunnyside Games' "Towaga: Among Shadows" is one of the latest games to offer this kind of thrill, turning frantic combat into a breathtaking visual experience in a gorgeous, hand-drawn style.

In Towaga: Among Shadows, you become an Az'Kalar warrior named Chimù. In the game, you will wield the power of light to defend the temple of Towaga and fight hordes of monsters coming from the Army of Darkness.

You will use your power to destroy enemies large and small, and eventually move on to the ultimate enemy, Metnal, the Voidmonger; to save Towaga and survive, you must master a variety of skills and face enemies coming at you from all directions.

Towaga: Among Shadows not only offers intense gameplay, but also excellent visuals. The game includes detailed, hand-drawn 2D art and animation. From Chimu and the Army of Darkness to the various landscapes in the game, each is rendered in an engaging art style inspired by animated films. And, of course, let's not forget the stunning effects that represent the many powers that Chimu unleashes on the various enemies he encounters.

In addition to Towaga: Among Shadows' single-player story, the game has a local multiplayer mode that lets you go head-to-head with friends. There is also a tower mode and a flying mode that allows players to test their skills in a variety of settings.

Towaga: Among Shadows is currently available on Steam and is also available on Nintendo Switch and Apple Arcade.
