The publisher website doesn't work well with modern browsers. If you have problems, follow these steps:
- Deactivate any adblockers etc. if you have one.
- Go to the game site.
- Login (top right) BEFORE trying to buy the game. You can create a new account or link a Steam / Facebook / Google account.
- Go to the game page.
- Purchase the game.
- Go to your Purchases page (top right, hover over profile name -> Purchases).
- Wait some time, if it says you're not logged in, it just needs time to load.
- Once your see your purchase of Shade: Wrath of Angels, click on Order Detail.
- Copy your Serial Key somewhere. Then, click on Download.
- If nothing happens, that means your browser blocked the download. On Chrome, Edge or Firefox, open the browser console (F12). Go to the field Console and there, manually click on the blocked download link to download the game installer.
- If it redirects you to a page with a certificate error, temporarily disable certificate checks (e.g. for Chrome, do this) and try again from step 6.
- Once you have downloaded the installer (WoA.exe), execute it to install the game. Use the serial key that you copied previously.

Use special attacks[3]
|
- Equip the sword (2).
- Hold the block button.
- While holding the block button, also start holding the attack button. The sword will glow.
- While still holding both attack and block, press the combo keys in order (for available combos, see F1). For example, for a basic combo press forward (W) and then backward (S).
- You can normally change direction of blocks or attacks by pressing the movement keys (very helpful when fighting multiple enemies). However, while charging a combo the direction can no longer be changed. You have to let go of the attack button (you can keep blocking) to re-orient the character.

- Change to demon form (R).
- Equip spell from inventory (Q) or via quickslot.
- Press the right mouse botton to go into targetting mode.
- Press the right mouse botton again to cast the spell.

- Equip gun or crossbow.
- Go to first-person mode (⇧ Shift).
- Press attack button once. Now, a crosshair appears and you can shoot by repeatedly pressing the attack button. Reload the gun with right mouse button.
- If you want to get out of targetting mode, press a movement key.
