Strifeshadow ist ein Multiplayer Echtzeit-Strategiespiel, das als Hintergrund eine Fantasy-Welt hat. Die unabhängigen Entwickler bei Ethermoon Entertainment leben besonders viel wert auf Gameplay-Tiefe, taktische Kontrolle der detaillierten Kämpfe und eine starke Unterstützung von Community-Features wie GameSpy Arcade-Support, Singleplayer und Teamplayer-Ranglisten etc.
In der Demo-Version stehen als Volk nur die Dark Elves zur Verfügung. Außerdem hat die Vollversion einen Map und Einheiten-Editor zum Selberbasteln von neuen Szenarien. Aber auch die Demo kann über GameSpy Arcade im Internet gespielt werden.

a variety of compatibility and performance issues:
F2 - Toggles the ability to view objects hiding behind buildings
