Cyber Shadow
Cyber Shadow is a new retro-styled 2D platformer that is being published by Yacht Club (Shovel Knight) and developed by Mechanical Head Games.
If you’ve ever played older sidescrollers or platformers like Mega Man, Contra, and Ninja Gaiden, then you’re probably familiar with how Cyber Shadow plays.
Cyber Shadow is beautifully animated with fluid movements that are frantic, fast, and yet, enjoyable. You play as a Ninja named Shadow that is attempting to discover why there are synthetic lifeforms taking over the world around him.
You can slice through enemies quickly and the game pushes you to go fast, avoiding enemies while traversing platforms and other environmental hazards.
The game feels much less difficult and punishing than Yacht Club’s Shovel Knight so if you’re someone who didn’t like the feeling of losing money or progress when you die, Cyber Shadow seems to hold your hand a little bit more.
Cyber Shadow currently does not have a release date, but it will be coming sometime in 2019 for Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and Steam.
