Oscura Second Shadow sees the guardian of the light return for more creepy platforming, as he attempts to stop a mysterious winged beast from plunging his world into enteral darkness.
Fortunately, Oscura has the power to slow down time. By collecting the broken shards of the Aurora Stone he can replenish his hour glass meter, making safe passage over dangerous terrain or past deadly enemies possible. In a game where placing a foot wrong means instant death, it's a good thing that one of the standout features is the control system, which is as responsive and well-suited to touch screens as any I've seen (it's up there with League of Evil in that respect).
Still, Oscura Second Shadow is a mesmerizing game that will consume players while it lasts thanks to its spooky art style, terrific touch controls, and classic platforming action.
