If you live in the US, you can now download Grey Area's MMORPG Shadow Cities and do battle with players in Finland, Sweden, and Canada.

In a world where magic disappeared centuries ago and Shadow Spirits have taken over the land, your job is to reconquer the world, city by city.

Unfortunately for you, multiple teams are vying for power.

The nitty gritty

As one of two factions you'll search neighbourhoods for rogue spirits, cast spells, earn experience, and raise your ranking by completing daily missions.

Although you'll engage in many battles based on your GPS signal, you'll also have the chance to visit entirely new areas, providing it's under the control of your team.

During Pocket Gamer's hands-on with Shadow Cities, we were able to use a Stargate-esque portal to jump from San Francisco to Helsinki, Finland.

Shadow Cities is coming to the UK, but we've no news on when. You can pick it up in the US now, for free.
