Shadowgrounds is Top-Down Shoot 'Em Up developed by Frozenbyte software (creators of Trine) and originally released in November of 2005 in Finland and Germany, making its way to the rest of Europe and North America in the ensuing months. It became available on Steam in May of 2006.It is the year 2096. The place is a terraformed Ganymede, site of the small but successfully colony of New Atlantis and a highly secure military facility. You are Wesley Tyler, former security officer who now works as a mechanic at the local repair station following a major accident at the plant he used to work at. He's hard at work one night fixing a truck, but after a mysterious power outage, Tyler takes his two technician friends to the nearby power facility. Two dead technicians later, Tyler's landed himself in a full-on Alien Invasion.The player proceeds to rescue survivors, acquire successively bigger and nastier guns and attempts to find out the truth behind the alien attack.The game could be played alone or cooperatively.A sequel, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, was released in 2007 and tells the story of several other people trying to survive the same invasion: IGTO Space Marine Luke Giffords, Pest-control worker Bruno Lastmann, and IGTO Special Forces Sniper Isabel Larose. As the name might suggest, it added a Survival Mode to the proceedings. |

comment |
Twist Ending: The aliens were trying to save us from their antimatter gift. They only resorted to deploying bio-engineered troops when we ignored their warnings. When that failed too, their only remaining option was to beg us not to activate the anti-matter bomb. It worked. Still, nice job killing almost an entire colony, aliens. |

| | Shadowgrounds (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 |
comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Attempts by the aliens to warn humans about the danger of Anti Matter technology were interpreted as threats. As such, the aliens used hostilites as a last resort for large scale combat. Only after the game's protagonists weren't hampered by the attacks did they resort to an extremely detailed explaination. |

Weapon-Based Characterization |
| | Shadowgrounds (Video Game) / int_7098892d |
comment |
Weapon-Based Characterization: Survivor's characters have a much more limited arsenal than Tyler from the previous game, but each set is suited to that character's appearance and battles. Luke is a marine, therefore he primarily uses the pulse rifle. Bruno's apparently just an exterminator (regardless of the size of the bugs in question) but wears fuel canisters around his belt and his nickname is "Napalm", so: Flamethrower. Isabel is a sniper and primarily uses the Railgun. |

Artificial Stupidity |
| | Shadowgrounds (Video Game) / int_940a5958 |
comment |
Artificial Stupidity: If Brutes lose sight of the player for more than a few seconds, they'll fall back into their normal patrol route. It's a very handy way to eliminate them one at a time with Railgun shots to the back, then retreating when the other Brutes come looking for revenge. There's also some really odd things that don't draw aggro from enemies, such as shining your flashlight in the room. Hell, you should be standing inches from an enemy, flashlight pointed right at them, and they won't notice you as long as their back is turned. They apparently can't see through windows, either. |

Difficult, but Awesome: Tyler's Paralyzing taser from the Plasma Rifle upgrade. It has a very small range and reach but will paralyze all but bosses, even Shielded Brutes, excelling in taking care of enemies which generally comes in small numbers. With good aim one can take care of the toughest enemies only with the taser and a pistol. |

Benevolent Precursors: Played with. On one hand, the aliens spread the knowledge of anti-matter throughout the universe to help other races. However, this was before their research into anti-matter destroyed their homeworld and the majority of the alien race. To prevent this from happening again the aliens are willing to wage war on lower races before they can destroy entire systems in their use of anti-matter. |
