I hate to inform you that this title is spewing falseness.
This is true.They are at the same level of badassery.Until you can do Deus-Ex style take-downs in Black Shades, they will stay this way.
Lack of zombies and guns in Toribash makes Shades badasser.
Both games lack key gameplay elements to make either of them fun. If Toribash's damage system was combined with Black Shades' movement then it would be fun.
