I distinctly remember only being able to get through the first few levels of Ninja Gaiden games due to their notorious difficulty despite that, I’ve got a fondness for them because who wouldn’t want to be a ninja, especially in the 90s? Will I suffer the same fate as 90s child Joe or will I come out victorious?Ī few things stood out to me upon first starting Cyber Shadow: the visuals and the music. Cyber Shadow promises to capture the spirit of classic Ninja Gaiden on the NES while having challenging gameplay combined with smarter level design, and perhaps slightly kinder enemy placement. This is the story of Cyber Shadow, developed solely by Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker and backed and published by Yacht Club Games. Moving forward, when Yacht Club Games decides to attach their name to something, I will make the safe bet and trust they know what they are doing.
They captured the nostalgia of classic retro platformers while including decades of quality of life improvements. Shovel Knight knocked it out of the park and continued to do so with every additional campaign added to the Treasure Trove. It was announced that the game will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch consoles as well as through Steam on Microsoft Windows.When it comes to indie developers, Yacht Club Games is the poster child of dreams coming true. Cyber Shadow was available for test play at PAX East 2019. Hunziker described Cyber Shadow as a Nintendo Entertainment System-inspired game that had the principle level designs of Super Mario, the action of Ninja Gaiden, enemy designs of Contra, and the dark visual aesthetic of Batman: The Video Game on the NES.Ĭyber Shadow was officially announced on March 27, 2019, with a one minute-forty second long announcement trailer displaying the game's gameplay, combat, and plot. Since then, Yacht Club Games have been supervising the development of the game as well as managing the marketing, porting, publishing for Cyber Shadow as well as giving Hunziker design feedback. Initially, Hunziker had no plans to have a publisher for the game until Yacht Club Games, the developer for Shovel Knight, approached him in 2017, which he considered to be the only company that could help him publish the game.
