Play Overview
Cyber Shadow (2021) is a retro running and jumping game where you defeat enemies and dodge obstacles. It combines classic 90's platforming games with modern controls and checkpoints that make it more enjoyable and approachable. Dodge and attack midair to progress through the difficult, but not punishing, levels filled with checkpoints and power-ups in a game that combines the best of classic and modern gaming.
You play Cyber-Shadow, a cyborg ninja who awakens to find his clan and the citizens of Mekacity at the mercy of malignant, synthetic aliens harvesting them for power. You must defeat them, and meet the master of the clan, who you discover unleashed the terror on the city to save his dying daughter. Defeat him to free his daughter of her dying body and reunite with her on the spiritual plane of existence.
Play involves jumping over spikes and other treacherous traps and using your sword and powerups to defeat enemies. While there are many quite difficult sections, there are checkpoints, which you can upgrade to give you useful abilities, such as a flying attack disk that is controlled by Cyber-Shadow's momentum. It's this combination of the tried and tested platforming with the constant introduction of new mechanics that allows Cyber Shadow to truly differentiate itself.
