Cyber shadow switch physical8/28/2023 It sweeps up the terrors that plagued games like lives, continues, slowdown and flickering. And much like a game I reviewed last year, Panzer Paladin, it takes knowledge of over 20 years since the time of NES games, and builds a better game around that. Despite this, Cyber Shadow still gets everything just right about a NES game. Only assisting in developing this game from what I understand is a one man team. Yacht Club took a step back and published this game. For example, the efforts of Inti Creates, Tribute Games, and Yacht Club. Sounding like a broken record at this point, but there’s no length that I couldn’t go on about how much I appreciate retro inspired games that actually get the feel they’re trying to replicate right. Overall an addictive soundtrack that will define Cyber Shadow, for years to come.Developed By: Mechanical Head Studios/Aarne Hunziker There were moments I was at a standstill during the game so I could listen back to some of my favourite tracks., of course with Geothermal Towers being its first and most prevalent. A heightened sensation rings through a passionate rhythm. Modern takes on chip-tune themes bestow something a little different from it’s traditional manner in old school gaming. The sweet symphonies meshing with many scenarios and action sequences are an appreciated consonant that I can admire. Jake Kaufman (Shovel Knight, Crypt of the Necrodancer) and Enrique Martin lend their musical ear to the title, bringing their melodic blend in chip-tune like presentation that matches the title’s ongoing display. Foregoing the sunsets by the ocean, and cloudy blue sky’s of Yacht Club’s Shovel Knight, Mechanical Head Studios looked to position their newfound stealthly superhero into a gloomy terrain that translates a helpless future, but one the Cyber Shadow may ultimately overcome. My eyes were heart shaped witnessing the beauty of its daft and stark contrasts, amalgamating many classics of yesteryear into its artwork. From Directing to designing the title, and delivering a one-of-a-kind feat in Ninja side-scrolling. Finnish indie developer Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker has much to be proud of with its release. While level structure may have needed some refinement, it certainly delivered in being a love letter to the 8-bit NES-like era. Walking away from Cyber Shadow, I have to give praise in its design. However, clearing out the smoke-in-mirrors, the glitz and glamour of its retro 2D-throwback like design that charms its audience in its golden age reminisce, Cyber Shadow guarantee’s three things elevated difficulty, minor offense, and throwing the player in the deep end. It pays homage to Shatterhand in many aspects, but its tried and true spirit continues its call back to the master, Ninja Gaiden. It’s Contra-esque like aesthetic matches its archetype and level layout, along with swarms of enemy’s and automatic weaponry programmed to kill our protagonist. While it pays tribute to old school title’s of the past – not just of similar genre – its lack in fast-paced exploration tempers flaring expectations to whom may be excited to viciously hack-and-slash their way through this gorgeous game. Ninja-based title’s have expectancy to challenge you through a complex arsenal, and moveset that may seem unorthodox, but Cyber Shadow’s offense system strips the well-versed hallmark features we are adept to in a traditional action title, and boasts an uneventful lament in this one-hit wonder. Naturally, it’s been an expectancy among many the aforementioned to deliver these attributes, however Cyber Shadow tries a deviated path in handling this, but seems to stumble. But at its core, the Ninja-like platformer excels best when demonstrating expeditious pacing, and flexibility. Ninja Gaiden, Zen Ninja, Strider, Hell may as well throw The Messenger in the mix there are a plethora of Ninja-based stealth like action-adventures across multiple platforms that will lure you into their premise, originality, overall design and presentation.
