About Nightshade
The shadows of doom grow long as the ancient Egyptian villain Sutekh envelops Metro City with a wave of crime. But Sutekh's seedy underworld is about to be infiltrated by a superhero unlike the world has even seen. A superhero who can melt into the darkness like a phantom.
By day this brave crimefighter is a common ordinary citizen. But when night falls, he is cloaked in a secret identity to seek out and destroy the dark forces that lurk on midnight streets. Who is this man the press calls Nightshade? Only you can answer that... for he is you.
Every night you solidify your superhero status, patrolling one hundred of the city's darkest corners, including King Rat's filthy underground hideout and the League of Unreasonable Gentlemen. Here you'll find thieves, muggers and other alley scum that you must either deal with or destroy for clues. But be warned. You're not the only night stalker. For as you hunt Sutekh, Sutekh hunts you with the human printing press, the closing wall of spikes, deadly jackal pits, and the chilling freeze ray.
To overcome these treacherous obstacles, you must seek out hidden weapons, including energy domes, force gloves and The Staff of Ra. More importantly, you must use problem solving skills to outsmart five crime kings who hold the inner secrets to Sutekh's Lair.
Of course the ultimate key to destroying Sutekh is your popularity. For it's a power source that gives you the wits to decipher clues and the strength to pulverize villains and rescue innocent bystanders. Remember. If this heroic prowess ever diminishes, you'll no longer control the night. You'll be consumed by it.
Nightshade features 8 bit graphics and soundtrack, and a rich comicbook like story. Game style is like similar to point and click adventure games with its own twist.

most underrated game of all time5 found this helpful
it was "buy the game the washed youtuber you watched played its only $3.59!" then the realizations hits that this is LITERALLY the dark souls of the nes. i both hate and love this game like i do myself2 found this helpful
"Nightshade can't do that." "Nothing unusual here." [i]*Starts fighting the first Br*tish gentleman he sees*[/i] 10/10 Would beat the crap outta any Brit/Woman/Rat that crosses my path. Also forgetting the Jump command exists is important to the experience.2 found this helpful
One of the most memorable games for me on the NES since I was a kid! The game-play is unique and the world map of the city is fun to explore. Soundtrack is also incredible Love it so much I have a sealed copy of it1 found this helpful
One of the greatest tragedies of our timeline is how we never got the follow-up episodes for this game. Real review: ---------- In it's time, this game wasn't well received because of the controls. While the number of interactions available can be a bit clunky when emulating an old NES controller, you can and do get used to controlling Nightshade. This is an easy recommend for anyone into old NES (hidden) gems, quirky point-and-clicks, and comic books. It's a game with tremendous personality, great atmosphere, and enough variety to keep you interested. Some of the puzzles are, as usual for this genre, a bit out there. Because this is an emulated port of the NES romset, the wrapper has 3 save-states available. Use them often. (I've only got 12 minutes playtime on steam, but I still own my original cart.)1 found this helpful
