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

    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    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.… Expand

    I wrote a review on the PS5 version, which is the same but better. Check it out!

    The aesthetics are great and the graphics are reminiscient of classic 8-bit platformers. Controls are solid, so if you mess up(and you will), you know it's all on you. The game is also very forgiving with checkpoints scattered throughout the levels.

    I have not encountered a single bug or glitch as of yet. Will update if i encounter some.

    There is a story there, told to you via text and short 8-bitcutscenes. It is a good story, and you will want to see it to the end.    … Expand

    Cyber Shadow is a compelling modern retelling of the iconic retro classics of yesteryear. Sure, there are issues; the pacing feels off and 'knockback' really should have been consigned to the dustbin of unwanted gaming mechanics. None-the-less, Cyber Shadow is basically Ninja Gaiden if it had been released in 2021. Not sure I can think of any higher praise than that.

    Jumping around as a ninja in a cyberpunk world makes for a great retro-style game. Whenever a new type of action or mechanic is introduced, Cyber Shadow feels genuinely fresh. While its progression might be overwhelming at times, it’s a satisfying package for sure.

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