Title
Bits of NES Batman, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania and Megaman rolled into one game makes pretty fun platforming hijinx in Cyber Shadow. All levels present new ideas and unique platforming challenges and the bosses are all unique beasts of their own.

It's not quite as polished as some other retro-inspired games such as the Shovel Knight series, namely in its story which sort of strings along with some science fiction cliches. The mid-point save system in the game is on occasion not utilized making some passages fare more difficult leading to some difficulty spike which don't seem to flow naturally.

If you like level-based 2D platforming games like the ones mentioned above, this comes with a strong reccomendation, if that's not exactly your cup of tea you can move along.

    Gets to the point where it's more frustrating than fun. My hand is still in recovery mode after playing this shit. Fans of NES-style action-platformers will maybe enjoy it if they skip the dialogue/story which is bad and nonsense. (to be fair I quit the game about halfway in)

      I think I wouldve quit after the dash powerup if I didnt find out that the R button also dashes. hands saved 😅

      I returned to it and completed it, and liked it much more the second attempt. But it's still rather sadistically difficult at times.

    Otherwise great game, BUT

    The decision to make it so the fun abilities are rolled out painfully slow is a bad decision

    Making it required for 100% that you go back and revisit linear levels with abilities you didn't have the first time through just so you can get what is most likely identical health/energy upgrade items for every secret is a bad decision

    Guys, this is a linear game, you're not making a metroidvania here, either make a metroidvania or don't make your players tediously retread old ground for secrets they can see but can't access
    Because it works in the metroidvania format when you could potentially find whole new areas and/or unique and useful items but it doesn't work here, it's just making the player go through levels several times for 100% because reasons
    It pains me because the only reason this game should be making people feel grumpy is out of difficulty, not out of some kind of obvious design misstep
    I guess I just hate to see bad design decisions that feel so extremely avoidable, it probably needed playtesting for this and subsequent adjustments
    This game and The Messenger (the latter to a greater extent) both suffer a problem of letting their flirtation with metroidvania influences derail their ultimate objective of fun, tightly-designed linear ninja action
    Not every game needs exploration and backtracking, dudes

      haven't played enough to reflect on the 100%ness but the rollout is imo a good thing because it gives you a chance to practice and use abilities as you get them without overwhelming choice.

      something tells me you didnt make it to the 'charge' ability 😳

      Agree 100% with OP

      Realized it's just missing the ripples, which are present on every other cover.

    This is two games once you memorize the level layouts and dash slash/lightning strike everything. The levels can still be taken slow without dashing everywhere. It only lasts 1/3rd of the game, would have been great if it had altered stages with this moveset in mind for hardmode/newgame+.
