By , on August 4, 2014

If you're a fan of cult classic adventure series Shadowgate, you'll likely be well aware that it's currently being rebooted for iOS and Android (plus PC and Mac). You've probably already seen this side-by-side comparison video of the NES outing and the new version.

This weekend, developer Zojoi released a new cinematic trailer focusing on arch villain Talimar the Black, and it's got us even more keen on returning to Castle Shadowgate and the lands of Tyragon.

The game is set to be released on August 21st, and will feature the franchise's trademark puzzle solving and decision making. If you're yet to play an entry in the series be warned: the Shadowgate games are not for the faint-hearted, featuring copious amounts of gratuitous death for those foolish enough to incorrectly solve a puzzle or blithely wander down the wrong path.

So AppSpies, have you played a Shadowgate game before, and if so, what was your most memorable death?
