Un juegazo del género "metroidvania" que viene de la era del poderoso Xbox 360 con un toque "moderno" en el sentido de que, tu personaje usa armamento, combate cuerpo a cuerpo y tecnología para moverse dentro de una base militar encontrada por "casualidad". Tiene una historia que se quiere tomar muy en serio y ser muy oscura, pero me pareció cuando menos entretenida. Sin embargo su jugabilidad es algo de verdad maravilloso. Cuenta con controles bastante precisos y haces uso de ambos Sticks o palancas para moverte y apuntar tus armas. Sus gráficos en ese entonces me parecieron potentes, y creo que actualmente se pueden considerar decentes. El mundo es enorme y cuenta con una cantidad de secretos y power-ups bastante generosa. Tu personaje puede subir de nivel para hacer el viaje mas sencillo. Ver como se va volviendo cada vez mas rápido, resistente y con un armamento tan variado es la respuesta a la pregunta "¿Qué es lo que mas me gusta de los Metroidvania?". Si quieres completar el juego al 100%, es decir, obtener todos los secretos y extras, prepárate ya que es un gran viaje. Los jefes son poderosos y algunos muy imponentes, pero tu, eres la verdadera amenaza. 9/10.

One of the better Metroidvainias Ive played. Story is lackluster but the gameplay is great.

July 2025

Amazing evolution of a metroidvania into the 2.5 dimension years before Nintendo decided to try it with Metroid Dread. Dated, Uncharted-esque adventure carries you forward through a well-crafted take on the genre. Be warned, this game will likely NEVER go on sale. It has been stuck at $15 for nearly a decade on Steam. Worth it if you are fan of the genre and never played it but a much harder sell to anyone who has or could easily spend far less on several other great metroidvanias on Steam already.

May 2025

A little jank and a little Xbox 360 nostalgia but all in all this game still holds up pretty well

April 2025

Shadow Complex Remastered is an acute, poignant, philosophical allegory of modern life. Why? If you ditch your girlfriend you beat the game in the easiest, quickest way possible and get an achievement for it.
