    While Cyber Shadow is fundamentally a solid game, it does go to show that some robot Ninjas aren’t built as well as others.

    All in all, Yacht Club Games‘ return to the role of publisher for other developer’s games is a bit of a mixed bag. Cyber Shadow delivers good action platforming, stunning art, great music, and incredible boss fights. Regrettably, the story, pacing, and exploration all drag it down. In the end, the positives are strong enough to make Cyber Shadow a fun adventure for indie platformers fans, NES Ninja Gaiden fans, or even gamers who just like tons of challenging boss fights.

    There’s a fine line between challenging games and frustrating ones, especially when you’re trying to pay homage to games that were released three decades ago. But with Cyber Shadow, Mechanical Head Games proves that with a few smart, modern twists, it’s possible to make a retro-style platformer with all the difficulty of the past, and few of the frustrations.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. A fun and wonderful call back to the old 2d scrolling Ninja Gaiden/Revenge of the Shinobi style genre we saw in the 90’s. With a fair checkpoint system in contrast to its opening difficult levels, in can seem unbalanced at first. However you quickly upgrade and adapt to this amazing gem of a game.… Full Review »

    WTF!!!???? Hard as HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

    An ode to Ninja Gaiden but WAY harder and only for those old school gamers ready to hit    WTF!!!???? Hard as HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

    An ode to Ninja Gaiden but WAY harder and only for those old school gamers ready to hit reset a million times!

    The story is admittingly weak and not as great as some ninja games like Katana Zero and the aforementioned Ninja Gaiden. But this game is WAY more challenging and fun in that way.

    It is beatable just for the LAMES who can't hang tough. I didn't need to watch ANY video or guide for beating it. Just beat it, though I think 90% of gamers woudn't be able to beat this game. It requires lots of timing and SKILL. Most "gamers" don't have that nowadays. Lames    … Full Review »
