[[caption-width-right:350:When a doomsday device's about to fall in the wrong hands, who you gonna ''Call''?]]
''Shadow Guardian'' is a 2010 ThirdPersonShooter action game made by Creator/{{Gameloft}}. Like most of Gameloft's output, the game is based on popular franchises dominating the industry at the time, but converted for mobile devices instead of console, in this case based on ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}''.
Players assume the role of Jason Call, a blatant knockoff of Nathan Drake, and an ex-soldier working as an investigative journalist. Travelling across the globe in an epic adventure, Jason must stay one step ahead of Dr. Novik, a dictator whose army is seeking a doomsday artifact called the Prima Materia, where Jason takes on enemy mercenaries and giant monsters in a series of levels set in Egypt, India and Antartica.
The game receives an updated remaster in 2022.
----
!!"It all started with a mission in Indonesia.."
* AdventurerArcheologist: Jason Call is an ex-soldier turned treasure hunter and archeologist who takes on enemy mooks and gigantic monsters, befitting a Nathan Drake-{{Expy}}.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:The final stage ends with Jason defeating Novik's mecha (using his own), and the revelation of a new entrance into the Antarctic ruins. Jason then proceeds to enter the ruin for a new adventure and the credits roll]].
* BigBad: Dr. Novik, a MadScientist and dictator seeking the Prima Materia and having his private army searching the globe for it. And Jason is the lone hero who stood in his way.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Gigantic scarab beetles assaults Jason in the Luxor Temple, with a tank-sized scarab serving as it's boss.
* BodyOfBodies: The undead abominations that Jason fights in the Red Sea and Antarctic resembles multiple decomposing human bodies fused together, with at least two visible skulls for heads and several other body parts forming the torso. They're expectedly the largest enemies in the game.
* ConspicuouslyLightPatch: During climbing sessions where Jason clings on ledges by his fingers, ''some'' of them are collapsible and breaks away as soon as Jason grabs them, the breakable parts being slightly lighter than permanent ones. But the game tends to play around with these - there are regular looking blocks who ''will'' break at random, even if they're not lightly-colored.
* GatlingGood: Some of Novik's larger mooks uses belt-fed Gatling guns to assault Jason, and are among the deadlier enemies due to their firepower. Unfortunately Jason [[UnusableEnemyEquipment couldn't use their weapons]] after killing them, which seems justified because they're too heavy and will get in Jason's way when he tries climbing ledges.
* HangingByTheFingers: Jason spends much of the game dangling on ledges ''outside'' towers, mausoleums, cliffs, over BottomlessPits, or climbing gigantic statues, mostly to activate hidden switches or evade enemies.
* HowWeGotHere: The game opens with Jason StrappedToAnOperatingTable while being interrogated by Dr. Novik, who decides to probe Jason's mind after he refuse to give in to interrogations. Then the game reflects on how Jason thwarts Novik's plans repeatedly and taking down his minions, with each and every level save for the last being a flashback.
* LightAndMirrorsPuzzle: Shows up everywhere in the Medusa Sanctuary, where Jason needs to move and flip panels containing Medusa's images (shooting them from a distance also works) to reflect light projections in order to activate exits.
* MeleeATrois: The many abominations and monsters guarding the tombs will kill ''everything'' that attempts to intrude, including Novik's mooks. When Jason infiltrate the Red Sea temple he comes across a mercenary killed by them (which he took a machine-gun from the corpse) and later areas will have mercenaries and abominations appearing together, where they spend as much time attacking Jason as they did killing each other.
* MiniMecha: The final stage have Jason uncovering a {{steampunk}} mech in the Antarctic ruins, somehow ''still'' functiong after [[RagnarokProofing several centuries of dormancy]]. He then hijacks it to take down Novik's tanks and remaining mercenaries. [[spoiler:Novik, the FinalBoss, notably pilots his ''own'' mecha retrieved from another part of the caverns to fight Jason with]].
* MonsterDelay: The first undead abomination appears in this manner; as Jason enters an underwater temple, he catches a brief glimps of a monster turning into a corner and even mutters "what was that?" After five minutes searching for an entrance, cue Jason getting ambushed by that same monster, before battling several more of them.
* NeckSnap: Jason's first onscreen kill in the first level is a distracted mook, which he grabs by the neck and twists in a QuickTimeEvent. For the rest of the game Jason can do this on human enemies if they're close enough for him to grab and execute.
* OneManArmy: Jason Call wipes out entire legions of mercenaries single-handedly, besides destroying turrets, armored vehicles and helicopters throughout the game.
* PlungerDetonator: Malkata ruins have multiple mercenaries setting up explosives trying to blow open an entrance using one such detonator, but they're interrupted by Jason showing up. After a massive gunfight which ends with Jason killing everyone, he then finds the detonator and in true ActionHero fashion, triggers it by stepping on the plunger.
* ThePrecariousLedge: Besides hanging from his fingers, several levels also have Jason standing on high ledges, where an ill-timed jump would lead to his death.
* ShieldBearingMook: Some of Novik's men carries riot shields which gives them slgihtly better defenses, but Jason can penetrate these shields easily with shotguns or rockets.
* SniperRifle: One of the pickups Jason can obtain to snipe enemies from a distance.
* SnipingTheCockpit: Jason has a CutscenePowerToTheMax moment where he took out a helicopter by jumping off a building roof, landing on the cockpit, and shooting the pilot from point-blank. He then jumps off and grabs a nearby ledge as the helicopter crashes in the streets.
* SuperWindowJump: The Alexandria level begins with a helicopter assaulting Jason's hotel room, where he escapes by leaping out a nearby window and landing on a mercenary waiting to ambush him. Cue Jason grabbing the unconscious mook's machine-gun and shooting at incoming mooks.
* TanksForNothing: The streets of Alexandria have a massive shootout where enemy mooks sends a tank on Jason, but Jason simply disables it five seconds later by shooting a fusebox above, landing on the tank and causing it to short out. The tank does re-activate after a short while, but it's painfully slow and nowhere as durable as it looks - Jason simply retrieves a rocket launcher from a slain mook and destroys it with ''one'' shot.
* UndergroundLevel: Expectedly, since the hero is an explorer - Luxor Temple in Egypt and Medusa Sanctuary in the Red Sea both takes place in underground mausoleums where Jason must uncover hidden artifacts while staying ahead of Novik's mercenaries.
* UniqueEnemy: There are two mooks who attacks Jason with GunsAkimbo, one in the Alexandria shootout and another in an Indian temple, where both times they're sandwiched between hordes of common enemies. Another can be briefly seen in the Antarctic trying (and failing) to defend himself from giant monsters.
* WakingUpElsewhere: How the game starts - with Jason waking up in Novik's laboratory, StrappedToAnOperatingTable and being interrogated by Novik. The rest of the game is told in flashbacks.
