With a name like Styx, you are obligated to make a holiday YouTube video. So Merry Styxmas everybody, from your favorite 200 year-old goblin assassin.
Sneaky Sneaky Review: iOS Adventure Steals Away...With Our Hearts
While I had some issues with Styx: Master of Shadows when it came out this past October (review), the character of Styx was never one of them. I’m usually averse to foul-mouthed brigands, preferring my rogues with a touch of class, but as the game went on, I warmed mightily to the pint-sized killer.
And obviously, I glommed immediately to his half-formed clone. Using that to distract enemies (and then explode him to form a cover of darkness) are some of my fondest gaming memories of 2014.

So it is nice to see both original and clone here in the holiday video from Cyanide Studios and Focus Interactive. A large present lays unopened under the tree and some poor unsuspecting human is about to get far more of a surprise than he bargained for. It ends on a cliffhanger, with Santa-suited Styx wishing you seasons’ greetings.
Bitch!
Styx: Master of Shadows is currently on sale for 25% over at Steam. It’s an impressive looking title with lots of replayability, I recommend it.
There’s more Styx coming in the new year. So expect a DLC announcement sometime after the holidays. In the meantime, a Merry Styxmas to all and to all a good night.
