Shadow Trick Gameplay:
Players control a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to solve puzzles. This core mechanic allows for navigating traps, evading enemies, and uncovering hidden secrets by cleverly switching between physical and shadow forms.
The game features 24 levels across a magical castle with diverse biomes, hidden perils, and challenging bosses. Collecting all 72 moon crystals (three per level) is key to unlocking the complete ending. Bosses present unique challenges; some, like the elusive red ghost, require careful strategy to defeat without taking damage. The varied environments include water levels where shadow form is essential for navigation, introducing unique aquatic boss encounters.
