Welcome to the Strifeshadow Demo Page!

The Strifeshadow demo can be downloaded here.

The full version of Strifeshadow has additional features not found in the demo. For instance you can play as any of three races, not just as the Dark Elves. All the races and units have a unique look and feel along with special abilities and spells - over 45 in total! Play the game on any of 39 maps - even play on the "high speed" setting, unless you're too old for that.

Budding game designers will love the map and mod-making features. Now you can create your own units, buildings, traps and even entire races and share them with other players just as easily as you would share a map in other RTS games. You can also easily manage your local data files without restarting the game!

If you haven't viewed the tutorials yet, do so now. Then fire up the replay annotation utility on your own games to insert text, sounds, and graphics, script the camera and more.

You can create tutorials of your own to demonstrate strategies to friends or use the tools for Battle reports (a task made easier if you're already a master battle reporter!), comic relief or anything else you can imagine!

The full version of the game has all kinds of stuff you're missing in the demo. You'll be able to hear the full Strifeshadow score composed by the international genius Rob Chilcott or read the full version of the Strifeshadow story, written by Fred Wilson. The curious can find samples of their work in our downloads section.

Here's the best part though. By buying Strifeshadow you'll be supporting Independent Game Development! A little over two years ago, the six members of the Ethermoon team were where you sit now. Buy the game, and you'll likely get the chance to play against a staff member. If you want to know their secrets of game development, it is recommended that you ask any questions before humiliating them on the battlefield. Want to know more?
