Another pretty positive review of Shadows of Undrentide has been posted, this time at DeadAlfs. They gave the game a final score of 8/10. Here's a clip:

Further fleshing out the character advancement options are 30 new feats and 3 new skills. I must admit to being slightly disappointed by at least half the new feats being available only at character creation. My frustration inevitably led to me taking a human character so I could have both ‘Silver Palm’ (+2 to appraise and persuade checks) and ‘Courteous Magocracy’ (+2 to Lore and Spellcraft Checks). Many of the other feats build on top of existing ones (Improved Power Attack, Great Cleave etc) or expand ‘feat paths’ (Spring Attack, Divine Might etc), while others like Zen Archery (Apply Wis instead of Dex mod to ranged attacks) and Dirty Fighting (guaranteed extra d4 to melee attacks) mix things up a bit. The three new skills are: Appraise (for selling cheap and buying low), Tumble (for moving through enemy ranks without provoking attacks of opportunity) and Craft: Trap (which is a bit obvious). Phew! Let’s see if I can talk about the 50 new spells spread across the 5 spell-lists without using brackets!
