A new 2d side-scrolling action platformer from the creators of Shovel Knight is coming to the Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Yes that’s right, Yacht Club Games has announced that their latest title is a 2D ninja-themed side scrolling action platformer titled, Cyber Shadow.
The story’s plot follows an adventure of a lone Ninja trying to save his clan in a post-apocalyptic setting. Here’s the full game description:
The world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity.
Only you can unlock the secrets to your clan’s ancient powers in Cyber Shadow, the quintessential Ninja Action game.
Meanwhile, here’s the line-up of features Yacht Club Games has listed down for Cyber Shadow:
- Dash, slice, and leap through masterfully designed levels filled with sharply honed ninja platforming action.
- Authentic 8-bit presentation with hand-crafted sprites, a detailed pixel aesthetic, and perfect controls. Modern touches like fluid animation, multi-layered parallax backgrounds, and evolved game design.
- Take down more than a dozen apocalyptic bosses, from enormous war machines to your synthetic clan rivals.
- Relive the authenticity of classic 8-bit challenge or experience it for the first time.. with an added convenience or two.
- Rescue your clan to unlock permanent Ninjutsu skills and abilities, combining them seamlessly as only the warrior of legend could.
