Shadow Complex has broken the first week Xbox Live Arcade download record, having been purchased over 200,000 times during its first seven days of availability.
Released on August 19, the side-scrolling shooter was developed using the Unreal Engine 3 by Undertow creator Chair Entertainment, a subsidiary of Epic Games. The 'Metroidvania’ game retails for 1,200 Microsoft points ($14.99/£10.20).
“Congratulations to Chair Entertainment and Epic Games for creating an outstanding game,” said Scott Austin, director of digitally distributed games at Microsoft. “As the capstone title of the second annual Summer of Arcade program, Shadow Complex has raised the bar for downloadable games."
