After the wild success of Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games are back at it with another throwback style game, this time in the vein of classic NES action platformers like Ninja Gaiden in Mechanical Head Games’ Cyber Shadow.
Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, the Switch, and PC, Cyber Shadow currently doesn’t have a release date yet, but will set you back $14.99USD on release.
The story for the game is right out of your typical late 80s-early 90s action platformers of the time. The world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. You play as the ninja known as Shadow on a journey to uncover what started this whole mess. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity on your quest.
Featuring a soundtrack by Enrique Martin (which is produced by Jake Kaufman, who did the Shovel Knight soundtrack), hand-crafted 8-bit sprites, Ninjutsu skills and abilities that you unlock and collect, and tough-as-nails platforming, you can check out Cyber Shadow at PAX East 2019 later this week.
