Bosses present a pattern for you to follow and if you play along, they are easily vanquished.Ĭyber Shadow initially presents itself as a challenge, especially for the earlier levels, but the overall learning curve of the game is quite fair. Sometimes the difficulty spikes really throw you in for a loop, but it motivates you to pick up back from where you last died. While it may seem jarring at first, throwing you into retro land and quickly turning your experience from an action platformer to a full-fledged bullet hell, it is not frustrating. The checkpoints are quite generous in the first few bits, but the training wheels are taken off almost immediately after the first mini-boss (Smasher) of the game. It is refreshing how it eases you into the game. In a way, Cyber Shadow‘s first level really plays out as a tutorial, but with you filling in the blanks whereas most contemporary games would take you by the hand and walk you through what you need to do. Guided by your droid sidekick, L-Gion, Shadow traverses through the ruins of humanity vanquishing evil cyborgs, rogue AI, and renegade cyber ninjas to bring balance back to the planet.
As one of my games to watch for January, it definitely lives up to what I’ve predicted the game to be.ĭespite its cheesy dialogue and really fire midi soundtrack, Cyber Shadow tells a story of an enhanced cyber ninja, Shadow, who died in a nuclear holocaust, brought back to life to aid their ninja clan one last time. Unlike games that I’ve played in the NES app for the Nintendo Switch, Cyber Shadow actually has been adjusted to our modern sensibilities. Yet, it actually feels more like a modern day game that has adapted to our contemporary play style. What year is it again? It’s 2021 and Cyber Shadow is definitely hearkening back to the Ninja Gaiden days of yore.
