About the Game

Play as a skilled operative sent behind enemy lines to eliminate an advanced new weapon being developed at a covert military base in the Middle East.

Run, crawl, and sneak through a range of detailed, high definition 2D, top-down environments. Remain undetected by avoiding enemy sight and security cameras, not making noise, and eliminating threats with silenced weapons. But when the situation demands it, going loud is always an option, with grenades, mines and C4 at your disposal. Enemies will patrol, investigate noises, and respond dynamically to your actions, so every move carries the risk of being discovered. 

Whether you prefer ghosting through enemy lines or taking them head-on, SHADOW MANTIS delivers a satisfying blend of old-school stealth and modern gameplay design.
