About

The world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity.

Only you can unlock the secrets to your clan’s ancient powers in Cyber Shadow, the quintessential Ninja Action game.

Features:
Dash, slice, and leap through masterfully designed levels filled with sharply honed ninja platforming action.

Authentic 8-bit presentation with hand-crafted sprites, a detailed pixel aesthetic, and perfect controls. Modern touches like fluid animation, multi-layered parallax backgrounds, and evolved game design.

Take down more than a dozen apocalyptic bosses, from enormous war machines to your synthetic clan rivals.

Relive the authenticity of classic 8-bit challenge or experience it for the first time.. with an added convenience or two.

Rescue your clan to unlock permanent Ninjutsu skills and abilities, combining them seamlessly as only the warrior of legend could.

Search for secrets as you explore the ruined world. Return to your old haunts to find supplies, items and upgrades.

Experience the gripping story, told both in-game and through animated cinematic story scenes between the action. Who can be trusted? How far will Shadow go to protect his clan and the one he loves?

Pulse-pounding soundtrack by Enrique Martin, produced by Jake Kaufman.

Cyber Shadow reviews and comments

Id rather call it OK than meh. Problem is, at its worst its extremely irritating, while at its best its simply alright. The story and loredumps were also completely uninteresting, yet ever present and regularly reiterated. Developer succeeded at emulating the retro games full of things people love to hate (like bad checkpoints, pushback on hit, autoscroller with instadeath pits, multiphase final boss where early phases serve no purpose other than wasting your time on retries and etc.), instead of taking the formula and improving it for the better like The Messenger (2018) did.
Overall, simply an OK experience with nothing outstanding about it.
«Game over at last!»
