What players say
While I enjoyed my 5 hours playing it, I find it hard to recommend this game to anyone. If you played Shadowgrounds, and didnt like it, you likely wont like this one as well. It is sliiightly better gameplay vise, because I think some AI got improved slightly, enemy placement were harder to fight off, but that could be because I played on hard difficulty this time instead of normal. If you DID like Shadowgrounds...

Everybody complains about Shadowgrounds Survivor but I must defend this one. It's ok. That's it.

About the game
Surviving is only half the game. The award-winning atmosphere and gameplay mechanics of the original Shadowgrounds make a triumphant return in this spin off/sequel armed with a slick new feature set! Shadowgrounds Survivor tells the story of the last remaining humans on Jupiter's moon Ganymede, where the alien onslaught is in full force.
