One of the best platformers I've ever played. Excellent music, excellent movement, excellent levels, excellent story, excellent everything. A steal at any price.

Classic NES Ninja Gaiden vibes. Some challenging boss fights and interesting upgrades for your Ninja. Good controls with a somewhat linear stage progression. Standard story with interesting stage layouts and dark/gloomy pixel art. I died many times trying to get through some areas, but still had fun. Wait for this to go on sale if you decide to pick it up.

Been playing this game back and forth with The Messenger. Highly recommend!!!!! Both are very interesting takes on the classic ninja side-scroller.

It’s one of the better NES-style throwback games I’ve played. Having said that, I'd rate my enjoyment 'just above average', but that's not the games fault and more to do with my preference of genre. I get a lot more out of something more exploratory like a metroidvania. When taking damage you get knocked back a little bit (not as harshly as in Castlevania 1). You can change your trajectory while jumping. It takes around 6-7 hours to beat. The first half of the game can feel a bit repetitive, making the experience kind of average at times (not the same variety of locations and level gimmicks as something like Donkey Kong Country 2 for instance) but the game does diversify itself a lot more with some vehicular and moving platform stages in the latter half of the game where my enjoyment picked up a tonne. You gain new abilities over the course of the game which feel good to use. One gripe here is that you have 2 ways to use your dash, double tapping a direction and a dedicated button. I have zero love for double-tap to run. In many games, if you just want to edge on a platform by pressing forward -> releasing -> pressing forward, you end up zipping off to your death when all you wanted to do was adjust your characters position a tiny bit. Fortunately the problem is minor in this game because the instant you do this and release the button you do not travel very far. I’d still have preferred if it just gave me the option to choose between the 2 schemes rather than activating both of them (or not bother to include the double-tap). There is more text/dialogue than I would like for a 2D platformer (so I won’t comment on the quality of the writing) but it can be skipped over fairly comfortably. Unless dialogue is very succinct, it isn’t something I like in my platformers. The music deserves a shout out too. Cyber Shadow is a great retro 2D platformer deserving of its praise.

Do yourself a favor and bind a turbo attack button. Steam controller settings -> pick a button -> cogwheel next to that button -> "Settings" -> Hold to Repeat Thank me later.
