Shadow Empire has surely hit the interest of many YouTubers and players and a huge number of enthusiastic previews has been posted so far.

Fighting the Apocalypse on a forgotten planet has never been so challenging and entertaining!

So without further ado, let's have a look at some of the most interesting videos posted. Have you already check them all?

Shadow Empire Preview - Medusa World Part 1 | by Grey Hunter

This is the first video in the excellent Medusa World series, made by Grey Hunter. Medusa Worlds are very close to Earth planets, with good atmosphere and environment, Unfortunately, this one seems to have an aggressive and hostile biosphere and no one knows what contorting terrors would dwell in its lands!



Shadow Empire | Preview (Beta) - Earth-like World - 04 - Broken Promises | by TortugaPower

This is the 4th video in a series played by TortugaPower, set in a world full of Rebels, Marauders and secrets!



DasTactic Livestream ~ Shadow Empire ~ Medusa World 01 | by DasTactic

Do you want to see how big and dangerous crabs can be? Stop here and watch DasTactic dealing with monstrous carnivores with carapax. "I can't stop playing this game" Das says, so whatever solution he adopted, it seems to have worked! Good job!



Shadow Empire: Weyland-Yutani #1 [in Espanol] | by Agusti Barrio Ruiz

Always wondered how Weyland - Yutani would  "build better worlds" at the fringe of Space? Let's found out in this very entertaining video by Agusti Barrio Ruiz (in Spanish).



Shadow Empire: Pre-release eXploration - Lava Planet! Ep.1 | by eXplorminate

Last but not least, eXplorminate is facing a challenging experience, as the planet of choice seems not quite forgiving human mistakes. It could have been worse! It could have also acid rains and brute mutants!

We couldn't cover all the videos but we hope to have given you a good overview of the previews being published. What's your favourite one? Is there a video you'd like to recommend? Post in the forums!

Great Summary, I have an addendum to the above. Compare all of the above videos to Tortuga's latest one on Twitch. I think Vic tweaked the AI because Tortuga gets ambushed from turn #1. All of the other Youtubers (including Tortuga's first one mentioned above), were operating in a different arena. The could venture out and grab stuff and would 'generally be unmolested until they went really far away. Tortuga.., jeezus, soon as he walked out of the city..., the whole planet was on him!

Vic said somewhere that the AI behavior for Minor factions varies quite a lot, so it's quite likely that TortugaPower got a very aggressive AI on that stream.

There were immediate incursions/invasions from the North, the South, and the big assault from the East. So that would be three separate factions. The faction in the west was your typical "chill" AI that the others were seeing. No matter, great entertainment. PS - So I guess Vic meant that the OVERALL AI aggression varies? I assumed he meant faction by faction.

I've been following on The Beta Game play videos, The game looks excellent!. I was wondering if There should be Vehicles "A like Mad Max" Specially for Raiders and such. Just a thought. Keep posting the videos.

I actually stopped watching once the stream cut out, I had some stuff to do and intended to come back and watch it later.

That's great to hear, I really want the Minors to be a bit more aggressive and it sounds like they can be.
