Every character, from Shadow to any of the massive bosses to a tiny robot minion, is beautifully designed and a solid reminder that graphics do not have to be realistic in order to blow players away. Each stage and its corresponding backgrounds are equal parts nostalgic and new, and the level of detail that goes into a game like this honestly shouldn’t be so entrancing, yet it is. On top of the soundtrack, the graphics are simply breathtaking. Each time I cleared a stage, my first thought went to, “I wonder what the next song is going to sound like!” This drove me to keep playing and prevented me from feeling any fatigue that one would naturally feel after dying a decent amount in a certain area. This is so good! I have not been this jazzed about a chiptune soundtrack since Mega Man 2 or 3, honestly, and that is even including the Shovel Knight soundtracks. Some of the challenges within these areas will really test you, but they are loads of fun and a welcomed addition.īut enough about gameplay! Let’s talk about this soundtrack by Enrique Martin, because OH. You see, Cyber Shadow allows for some backtracking so that you can collect items from previous stages that were inaccessible but become so after obtaining certain abilities.

The frantic and fast-paced action is a reminder of how the old coin-slot arcade titles used to function, but Cyber Shadow takes this approach and transforms it in such a way that it is accessible and even more entertaining.Īfter the game’s intro, you will be slashing, dodging, and platforming like a ninja in no time. The game will release on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.Cyber Shadow is a nostalgic trip down the 8-bit lane, and many older gamers will immediately feel the connection with NES titles like Ninja Gaiden and Contra as they blaze their way through the cyberpunk world. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on. The world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms.
