About
Ravensword: Shadowlands is a 2013 role-playing game created by American indie studio Crescent Moon Games. It is the successor of Ravensword: The Fallen King. It was released originally only for iOS and Android compatible devices, but later was also released to Windows, due to it being greenlit on Steam.
›Story
After the fall of Ravengard, the world descended into chaos. The Kingdom of Tyreas stood alone against a sea of dark elven invaders. The Ravensword was lost, and the dark times began. As a descendant of an ancient line of kings, you alone have the power to wield the Ravensword again and restore that which was lost.

Gameplay
The game has received many comparison to open world role-playing games in the Elder Scrolls series of games, such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Combat has three main types, with exceptions. Two, melee and ranged, are equipment based. There are various melee and ranged combat styles. Each style has separate skills and equipment, that are individually trained. Magic also has different spells, but all are trained similarly using similar equipment and the same skills.
Reception
Ravensword: Shadowlands has been generally well received by critics. It has received a 76 out of 100 rating on review aggregator Metacritic based on 12 reviews. Other than a few minor glitches, Ravensword: Shadowlands is the real deal, and is an excellent open-world RPG with a decent story, ample content, deep character customization and beautiful visuals". a beautiful game that stumbles often, but only because it reaches so high" and concluded that it was ultimately "not as polished as a game like Skyrim, but there's plenty here for an action RPG fan to love."
The open world aspect of Ravensword: Shadowlands is one of its big selling points, and it is fun to explore some non-linear adventures on your iOS device. It does have some limitations though, as there are physical barriers out in the world that prevent you from reaching certain parts of the map as freely as you might think." as big and open an RPG as you're likely to get on iOS" but cited uneven combat as a major weakness of the game, describing it as both "frustratingly punishing and ridiculously easy" at certain points.
