![]() ![]() Dying in this game is really costly in that you may have to start from a point that was a pain in the ass to get past in the first place. Considering the difficulty of the game it would have better to have checkpoints in more frequency. The goal of each stage is really to get to the checkpoints as best you can because they so scarce and spaced out so far in between each other. That boss caused me to rage quit once and it took me forever to defeat him. There is NO boss more annoying than the water Mekadragon. Just so you know ahead of time, if you play this game. You’ll die a couple of times for sure but once you figure it out you’ll feel like a boss. Each boss has a unique pattern and a way for you to do damage to them. Again, the boss fights are an ode to the past. Cyber Shadow is a game that will make you want to break your controller, but don’t do it.īoss fights are annoying but oddly rewarding. ![]() Well timed jumps and strikes require practice and the enemies are unforgiving, They’ll keep coming and they always seem to fire a projectile and knock you back always at the right time. Obstacles are a plenty and enemies are strategically placed. They’re full of color and accurate to the premise of the game. Replay of stages is also a major plus for this game. Whereas in Ninja Gaiden, you couldn’t build on Ryu even as the game progressed. You can do this to find more powerups to extend your health and spirit bar. Not only are power-ups huge for Shadow as you can go back through the stages that you already completed via the kiosks and find areas you couldn’t otherwise get to earlier in the game. These powerups are so important to your progress going forward, especially when you finally get the wall climb. Power Ups and progression are really nice in this game and at the time of this review I have not completed the game in it’s entirety but out of the 7 available powerups I have 6. For starters, Shadow has a strike forward only sword and she cannot crouch and strike which is so detrimental and adds difficulty to an already difficult game, can’t figure that decision out. Ninja Gaiden references are apropos here but there are a lot of differences to this game that separate the two games entirely. Shadow is now on a quest to find her master and “save the world”. Progen has gone bad and turned what was once a thriving society to shit. You’ll play the game as heroine “Shadow” and basically the game takes place in an apocalyptic/dystopian era in the city of Mekapolis where it appears that a power hungry scientist Dr. Fast paced linear action, hacking, slashing and jumping. ![]() WHAT’S CYBER SHADOW ABOUT? HOW’S THE GAMEPLAY?Ĭyber Shadow’s gameplay is exactly what you expect from an 8-bit side scrolling Ninja Gaiden style game. This is a fantastic game and even though it’s still very early in 2021 this game is already one of my favorites of the year. Cyber Shadow is a game that takes the best of what Ninja Gaiden was and improves on it in such a way that the GstyleGaming crew looked at this game as an homage to a classic. ![]() The Ninja Gaiden series of games, specifically the ones on the NES are one of the great series of games of all time. I’m sure that the creators of Cyber Shadow don’t want their game to be compared to any other based on what the title of this article suggests, but in this case it’s not at all a bad thing. ![]()
