Independently developed by Mechanical Head Studios, the science fiction title offers a contemporary take on classic 8-bit action titles. The retro presentation features handcrafted pixel art, augmented by fluid animation and multilayered parallax backgrounds. Protagonist Shadow must scour the claustrophobic factories, corrupted research labs, and fortified coastlines of Mekacity in a quest to exact revenge on the foes of his lost ninja clan.
Shadow faces off against Dr. Progen’s synthetically-enhanced army in a desperate post-apocalyptic battle, armed only with his Ninjutsu fighting skills and double jump, cross slash, and wall slide traversal techniques. The digital soundtrack, composed by Pentadrangle (Enrique Martin), is hosted on Bandcamp, with streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.
Cyber Shadow is also available for Xbox One, PS4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, along with Windows, Mac and Linux through Steam.
