The Paladin class can only be chosen if no dishonorable action has been done previously. It is only available to players who have completed one of the previous 3 games of the Quest for Glory series.

In addition, a Paladin character exists as a 'bonus' character type. The choices of characters available in this game are based on traditional role-playing games-a Fighter, a Magic User, or a Thief. The fighting is just is not as enjoyable, challenging, or fun as fighting in the previous games. The revamped fighting interface seems much more like an arcade than the interface used in the previous titles. The graphical interface makes asking the right questions much easier than in the first two games that use a text interface. Asking the right questions can help to solve many puzzles. Conversation is a vital portion of the game. The basic interface is similar to the previous titles. It works well for adventure games of this type.

I have always enjoyed playing this series in a third person perspective. This game is among the few titles to first employ a 32-bit DOS extender. Unlike the original SCI, there is no standard debug mode in SCI1 games, since it is taken out entirely before the game is released. Another unique feature is the addition of a 'Skill Level' lever that controls the difficulty of the combats and the puzzles. Among all of game titles that employ the SCI1 engine, this game is the only one that allows a choice of topics to 'Tell' or 'Ask About' during a conversation, rather than a pre-scripted conversation that is automatically played in its entirety when the 'Talk' cursor is clicked on the character. It now supports a point and click interface, 320x200x256 VGA graphics, and digitized sound effects. SCI1 is an extension of the original SCI. Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness is among the earliest titles to use the upgraded SCI1 (Sierra Creative Interpreter, version 1) engine. It stars the voice talents of John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, Raiders of the Lost Ark, King Solomon's Mine), Bill Farmer (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beauty and the Beast, Rover Dangerfield), and a voice cast of over 20 seasoned Hollywood performers. The CD-ROM version features 8,000 lines of dialog not found in the original version. The CD-ROM version is released subsequent to the Floppy Disk version in December 1995. The game is released in both Floppy Disk and CD-ROM versions. Interestingly, the box for this game bears only the title 'Quest for Glory: Shadow of Darkness' and does not acknowledge that this game is the fourth title in the Quest for Glory series. The artistic style of the drawings and the fighting sequences have been changed slightly, but I do not think that neither of these changes represent real improvements. It is therefore not surprisingly to note this game shows no dramatic difference in graphics or sound quality from its predecessor. Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness is released only a couple of years after Quest for Glory III: Wages of War. The graphics in this sequel are nice but not spectacular. Other than the fact that the DOS version has a more colorful cursor, there is really no difference between the two in terms of gameplay and control.

Make this choice wisely because you are stuck with your decision! A saved game in the DOS version cannot be loaded in the Windows version, and vice versa. You have 2 choices for the game installation, either as a DOS or Windows version. Gypsies, vampires, new friends, and old enemies, await you on your path toward becoming the hero of Mordavia. During your quest, you must save the town of Mordavia from the evil that haunts it. How do you get there and what are you to do? These are the questions you must answer in this decidedly darker tale. In the midst of your celebrations over your last victory you are seized by a mysterious force and wrenched into an unknown and dark cave. The story picks up where Quest for Glory III: Wages of War has left off. Unfortunately, the game is hampered by bugs that turn it instead into a mediocre sequel in the end. This fourth installment of the series, Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness (also known as Quest for Glory: Shadows of Darkness), continues in the grand tradition of its predecessors with even better graphics.

This, plus the simple but enticing idea of becoming the hero of a town and rescuing it from evil, makes the game compelling.

It combines the great fun and imagination of classic role-playing games with the skill and thinking of classic adventure games. The Quest for Glory series is among my favorite adventure game series ever.
