Bizarre deadly creatures of metal and flesh roam the lands, their origin a complete mystery to those who can survive their attacks.

It's up to you to find the artifact and face the madman before the magic that holds the universe together is lost forever. Battle all-new enemies, travel to new worlds, and develop your strengths.

    The bad: camera work from the lowest pits of hell, confounding interface. [July 2002, p.83]

    The control and camera bugs made it somewhat frustrating to keep trying to progress, the enemy AI made it dull and too easy to battle, the side quests were mostly silly and I didn’t want to do them.

    I had some fun playing among the incredible amounts of both confusion and boredom.

    The fighting system found within Shifters is guaranteed to make just about anyone cringe. Calling it simple is a horrid understatement.

    C'mon, we're talking about a hack-and-slasher with stationary pinatas for targets here! [August 2002, p.126]

    The game really doesn't offer anything interesting aside from the whole shape-shifting thing, which is does poorly. With empty battles and bland side-quests, the point of it all is lost.

    Delving more than an hour or two into the game becomes painful.
