This game received “average or mixed” game reviews from the critics according to the aggregator Metacritic 7/10. This game is multiplayer co-op mode with a second player controlling Styx’s clones. Ropes and grappling hooks can be used to reach high areas. The players have different options of engaging enemies. Overall, a great classic that is highly recommended for Qix fans.The Styx Shards Of Darkness has a predecessor and Styx is able to trap his enemies and it can temporarily turn. Needless to say, the ability to draw Stix in diagonal direction makes the gameplay more interesting-although not necessarily easier since the Sparx are also more numerous and move much faster. More than any other Windmill Software games, Styx is a very faithful clone of the arcade original that Qix fans will immediately recognize. Other enemies plague you, including Sparx that follow the lines and try to shock you, and the always moving Qix, the helix that'll fry you if it touches an uncomplete rectangle. To pass the level, you need to claim 65% of the field. When you make a complete shape, a pattern fills it, signaling your claim. Once you start a rectangle, you can't stop until it's done, or the Fuse will come up and get you.

To claim the field, you need to use the Stix and draw squares and rectangles that connect to the outer wall or other rectangles. Another excellent classic from Windmill Software, Styx is an enhanced clone of Taito's Qix that allows diagonal drawing.įor anyone who is unfamiliar with the Taito classic, here's the basic scoop: you play a marker, who has the ability to draw Stix.
