Gameplay
Within Shifters you play as Alleron, the lead character from Warriors of Might and Magic. Within this game Alleron must defeat a horde of flesh and metal invaders who are replacing the villages with steam-powered cities. Unlike the previous game, Alleron has gained the power to shapeshift and can assume 24 different creature forms, such as a humanoid ram and griffin like creature etc.
Alleron travels through six different worlds in which he must do battle with members of a specific race. Often, these areas end in boss battles, although not always. Along the way, there are many "secret" areas that are accessible only to particular forms, such as areas blocked off by bars or grates (which can only be accessed in Genie form after having cast the Gaseous Form spell.) No matter the choices of forms, however, the main game is always completable.
