Bionicle: Maze of Shadows is an action game set in the LEGO Bionicle universe and based on a book. The game features six playable characters, six stages and multiplayer features.
The Toe Metru heroes are searching for a way to wake up their people, the Matoran, who are trapped in the underground Maze of Shadows. This maze is filled with Rahi, traps and puzzles that must be overcome using each Toa Metru's unique skills.
Players control all six Toa Metru as they use their special abilities to progress through the game. Each character can enhance their skills, which are linked to different elements (ice, air, earth, fire, stone and water). The gameplay is played out in a top-down view, with combat taking place in turn-based fashion.
