![]() ![]() I still wasn't playing my best at first, although the quick-fire rinse/repeat nature of dying in two hits and having to do a section again helped shake off some of the rust. That, and you may recall that I managed to make it all the way to Chapter 4 with only a couple of stumbles, so I had high hopes of doing alright here. Even with minimal health and SP, there's no limit to how many times you can retry a section, so it's not as bad as it seems. That will likely be the first and only time I describe a 0% run of a difficult game as 'lenient,' but compared to the instant fail condition I'd been banging my head against, it's accurate. That one could wait, as I needed something a little more lenient to get my groove back. This took the wind out of my sails a little, especially after coming so close last time, so I decided it was time for a change of tack.

A few days had passed since I last booted up the game but from the standard of my play, you'd have thought it had been months. Once again, I started a new game in slot six (right next to the 'delete save' option for maximum efficiency) and jumped in. 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.After coming so close to unlocking Live forever last time I played, I decided that was where I'd begin - getting one of The Big Three out of the way seemed like a great mental milestone to pass early and get me in the right mind space to take on the rest. 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.
