About Cyber Shadow

✦ AI summary

Dash, slice, and leap through the neon-soaked ruins of Mekacity as Shadow, the last ninja, fighting to save his clan from Dr. Progen's synthetic army and unlock ancient Ninjutsu powers. This retro-styled action platformer combines pixel-perfect ninja combat with a gripping mystery about betrayal and redemption, packed with boss battles and fluid animations that bring 8-bit aesthetics into the modern era.

The world has been taken over by the evil Dr. Progen and his merciless synthetic army. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow, the sole survivor of his clan, on one last mission to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Your robotic companion, L-Gion, is your only guide through the ruins of Mekacity. How far will Shadow go to protect his clan and the one he loves? Is there more to their bond than meets the eye? Only you can unlock the secrets to your clan's ancient powers. Hurry before you run out of time! The road to redemption awaits in Cyber Shadow, the quintessential Ninja Action game.

Features

  • Experience sharply honed ninja platforming action! Dash, slice, and leap your way through the depths of Mekacity as you explore claustrophobic factories, corrupted research labs, fortified coastlines, vast skyscapes, and more!
  • Powered by the lost souls of the ninja clan, Dr. Progen’s army mercilessly hunted down all life forms. As the sole survivor, you must take down more than a dozen apocalyptic bosses, ranging from enormous war machines to your synthetically-enhanced clan rivals.
  • Rescue your clan to unlock permanent Ninjutsu skills and abilities. Attack from afar with shurikens and kunai, or get closer by using your double jump, cross slash, or wall slide techniques. Summon fire, charge slashes, parries and much more to realize your true potential.
  • Experience a gripping story– told both in-game and through animated cinematic story scenes between the action. Shadow returns from oblivion, hurtling through Mekacity on borrowed time for what will surely be his last mission. It’s unclear what transpired before he met his fate, but his clan was betrayed. What has become of the Clan’s master? Who can be trusted when nothing is as it seems?
  • Authentic 8-bit presentation with handcrafted sprites, a detailed pixel aesthetic, and perfect controls. Modern touches like fluid animation, multilayered parallax backgrounds, and evolved game design.
  • Pulse-pounding soundtrack by Enrique Martin.

I LOVE THIS SO FAR!! Super nostalgic feeling, I grew up with classic games like these so this is definitely up my alley! Funny thing is I actually decided to give this game a try due to a modded level on Celeste that uses songs from this OST. This game is definitely difficult, but it's at least forgiving with the save points and allowing you extra benefits to give yourself for an advantage. The mechanics are also very satisfying. Even with this game being on the more difficult side, definitely give it a try!

Cyber Shadow is one of the best 2D platformer that I've ever played. Pros: - The pixel art for NPC, enemies, background, cutscenes are really well detailed an quite colourful. - Soundtrack makes you feel like a badass. - The combat abilities that you unlock along the way are pretty fun as I end up using all of them consistently throughout the game. - I like the CRT filter. - [spoiler] You get to beat Apparitor twice.[/spoiler] Cons: - The game can be difficult at times (but it is rewarding) and there are one or two enemies whose placements are pretty unfair. Particularly a specific laser shooting robot on treads in corridor where some corrupted ethos follow you at a later level. - Might be just me missing some stuff or just me being plain stupid, but it feels like there are some loose ends in the story. - I might have pressed the buttons on my controller a bit too hard in a desperate and irrational attempt to do bigger damage. In summary, If you like a challenging retro-style 2D platformer. This is the perfect game for you.

Fun, but not very complex. If you like ninja gaiden, you'll like this, because it's just ninja gaiden but quite a lot easier. I got it on sale for 11 bucks but honestly i'd wait for a deeper sale.
