Download Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness - DOS, Windows 3.x game

Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness takes the series into a much darker setting, sending the hero to the ominous land of Mordavia. Released in 1993, the game blends role-playing, adventure, exploration, combat, and horror-inspired storytelling while retaining the humor and character-driven charm that define the series. The atmosphere is considerably gloomier than in earlier adventures, with haunted locations, supernatural dangers, and a world that seems to have misplaced its supply of cheerful villages. Players must solve puzzles, develop their character, and survive a journey filled with strange creatures and dangerous secrets. Shadows of Darkness successfully combines comedy with genuinely atmospheric fantasy horror. It is a game where the player can investigate a terrifying mystery and still somehow end up making a joke at exactly the wrong moment, which is a surprisingly accurate description of adventuring.

Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness review

Computer Gaming World (1994): "Overall, then, Shadows of Darkness was a disappointment. I wanted to like this one, but the technical problems overwhelmed game play, and the numerous replays deadened any pleasure left in it. Had the game run without difficulties I'd probably have enjoyed it more. As it is, I can only suggest you approach this one with extreme caution, and be sure of what you're getting."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Initially, the game was released in December 1993 on nine 3.5" floppy diskettes (as were many other Sierra adventures at the time) to accommodate gamers who didn't have a CD-ROM drive.

This was a great fun game to play but the original release was way to buggy and would lock up or crash. There was a patch for it that helped out a bunch. I have no idea if it still exists somewhere.
