Kudos to Mechanical Head Games on developing Cyber Shadow, and many thanks to Yacht Club for helping it reach its full potential. Even if you don’t appreciate NES games of yore, this is still a tremendous adventure full of mystery and danger. Though it can get more than a bit challenging at times, I’d heartily recommend this to any fan of the classics. There’s a lot of replay value here, too, thanks to Yacht Club implementing a whole host of achievements, regardless of whether you play the game on Steam or consoles. But since that would cross into spoiler territory, I’ll let you discover for yourselves why this is one of the best games of the new year.
While I’ve spent a lot of time covering what Cyber Shadow does right, there’s a lot more I could talk about.
There's no better way to sum it up than just by getting straight to the point: Cyber Shadow is a fun action-platformer and one that expertly emulates the NES classic of yore. With perfect control, epic boss fights and a banging soundtrack, Cyber Shadow is a superb action platformer that you don't want to miss. But unlike Shadow, Cyber Shadow is made up of obsolete pieces, resulting in a rusty, defective cyber ninja that’s stuck in the wrong time period.Ĭyber Shadow is a beautiful, lovingly-crafted gut-punch of an experience. This dichotomy makes Cyber Shadow a lot like its protagonist as it is made up of parts both old and new. Its boss fights and soundtrack can compete with other modern indie greats, but the rest of its gameplay inherits many of the antiquated parts that have been stripped out in other thoughtful throwbacks. Shovel Knight was an example of an indie platformer that did hold up its end of the deal on both ends and that comparison doesn’t work in Cyber Shadow’s favor. Game Revolution - Michael Leri - 5.5 / 10 Game Informer - Marcus Stewart - 7.5 / 10Įqual parts fun and infuriating, Cyber Shadow isn't for the weak of heart There will be tantrums and swearwords, but when a game looks this cool you can’t stay mad at it. It’s absolutely nails to begin with, but stick with Cyber Shadow and it will be your new favourite platformer. Even with a few misgivings, I'm anxious to see this world explored again with the power of hindsight. Despite the modern design concessions (which are within reason and don't betray the core of the game) it's not going to appeal to everyone, and that's OK. Cyber Shadow is a bit disjointed at times, but right when it's chugging, it begins to crescendo and pick back up again.
