The player is teleported by the Angel to each of the three worlds where the pieces of the hearts of the other three angels are kept, the first being in the world of undead knights (themed on a medieval period with walking dead, the zombies and undead knights), the second being in the Pyramid of Egyptian God Seth (themed on pyramids, with living statues, mummies and undead worshippers of mighty Seth) and the third being in the world of eternal darkness, the 'Shadowland' (themed on a shadowy plain with creatures of darkness everywhere). When the player agrees, the Angel gives him her loyal servant, an immortal red demon to help him on his quest. The Angel of Faith asks the player to release the three other angels to bring his brother back. The figure reveals to the player that she is the Angel of Faith, and the orb he is carrying is her heart. After the player comes out of the room with the orb, a misty figure appears and reveals to him a fearful secret. After dealing with them, he finds a secret passage and moves into it to descend down and finds an orb. He however shoots the zombie and goes to the Church, only to encounter two more zombies therein.

The player can upgrade his health and magic charm by collecting the golden drops, which are available throughout the game. The player also holds the ability to transform into a demon over a limited period of time. The player has the ability to wield both weapons or cast spells on 20 different types of enemies. There are 30 different levels with a tutorial included. The game includes four different chapters traveling through different times and dimensions. The game consists of action/adventure elements with hidden secrets and twists. We're left with something that looks like a genuine tribute to its thriller heritage, but its mediocre and cliched story, as well as linear and more combat-centric gameplay, means that Homecoming is too old-fashioned and lacks the originality and tension that made the previous games so enjoyable.Shade: Wrath of Angels is a third-person RPG with over 30 hours of gameplay. Homecoming is more of a Hostel-nodding, Jacob's Ladder-winking attempt at emulating the Silent Hill movie, rather than the original game. This has been somewhat lost in Homecoming with the inclusion of a dodge button making a lot of the encounters with skinless dogs and spasmodic faceless nurses a little too easy and formulaic. In terms of combat, the clunky system of the previous games, which limited your capacity for fighting, was an endearing weakness that genuinely added to the sense of desperation and helplessness. Yo'u are thus left with the aneurism-inducing task of trying every door to figure out which predetermined path you're supposed to be following. You'll spend a lot of your time wandering aimlessly up and down corridors and streets, fruitlessly trying door after door, only to be continually presented with that blasphemous profanity of action/adventure gaming: "This lock is broken". The environments at first seem to convincingly capture the atmospheric and claustrophobic mood that you expect from this franchise, but the illusion is almost immediately exposed by the obvious linear nature of the game. Where Resident Evil has the player desperately foraging every drawer, chest and corpse for ammunition to fire at hordes of flesheating creatures, Silent Hill immerses the player in a macabre and enigmatic world of suspense, panic and uneasiness filled with nightmarish aberrations and the most flaccid of weapons to fight them with.Īll the more disappointing that, with all this horror ancestry behind it, Silent Hill: Homecoming rarely does any of these things, and it is half-arsed and arbitrary when it does. The Silent Hill franchise has always been the blossoming antithesis of its survival horror rivals.
