    In Umbraclaw, take control of Kuon, a cat on a perilous journey through the afterlife known as the "Soulplane." Kuon must brave the afterlife in order to return home to his master in this 2D side-scrolling action adventure.

    The newest game from Blaster Master Zero director Satoru Nishizawa, Umbraclaw is a challenging game that proves that cats are not just cute, but cool as well. The dark-tinged yet lively graphics will pull you into the fantasy storybook world.

    Umbraclaw is repeatedly precariously balanced, but it still manages to land on its feet often enough thanks to the mechanics surrounding Kuon's nine lives. While the game's aesthetic appeal is easy to stroke and the level of challenge on offer is easy to rub your paws all over, there are some cruel shortcomings when it comes to the technical side of things. As the game progresses, it becomes clear that the adventure and gameplay are merely purring along, and are ultimately aimed at an audience of enthusiasts only. A title that will prove dispensable for most gamers, especially if they have other fish to fry…
