Cyber Shadow Brings Pixelated Ninja Action to PS5, PS4 in January 2021

Looks good with the retro feel. Might have to grab this.

Watched the trailer on the Indie Direct on Tuesday. This looks a very fun platformer. Even though it's not made by Yacht Club Games it still has the same look, feel and vibe. Can't wait.

This looks good, I like 2D side scroller like this, I'll get it for ps4 when it launch.

Looks cracking, I'll wait for reviews but will likely get this

if that's like 4,99 i'm down for some NES-gen gaming

Very cool trailer, had to watch it twice, they certainly nailed the retro feeling, looking forward to reading the pushsquare review for this one.

Is Shovel Knight really as good as it's reputation? I've been tempted a few times, but it just looks so rough.

"The PS5 version is newly announced too, but we expect this will be a rare case where the game will look and perform the same on both platforms"

Does beg the question why release a PS5 specific version at all?

If it's a pure linear platformer, I'll probably get it.

@Steel76 Thanks. I like modern evolutions of those games, so it could be for me, just not sure if I can cope with visuals akin to that era. I'll check it out.

@PossibLeigh Shovel Knight is excellent, but if you don’t like that sort of thing you may as well skip it. Also, looks rough? Lol it’s one of the most polished games I’ve played.

@TG16_IS_BAE I am interested in that kind of game, hence nearly pulling the trigger in the past. I guess I'm just overly sensitive to 8 bit colour pallettes. I've heard it looks better in motion than stills, so I'll check out some videos. Thanks.

Looks great! Ninja Gaiden vibes!

@PossibLeigh I see what you mean! It’s an enjoyable game, even more so for people born in the 80’s and 90’s. The soundtrack is a highlight, and it’s stuffed with secrets and extra content. Kind of on the easy side, but that’s subjective. Graphically it’s cute and I found it easy to see what was going on, even on the Switch’s tiny screen.

I wish they could use a different kind of art style I’m tired of the 8/16bit at this point it’s been done to death but since it’s made by Yacht Club I’m willing to give it a try since Shovel Knight was really good

Sega genesis came come to mind when i see this.i can dig it.i grew up with this kind of game.it looks like ninja gaiden.word up son

@PossibLeigh Shovel Knight is brilliant - I highly recommend it. If you think you might like it, you will. Top-tier level design you won't find in the classics. It gets compared to Mega Man a lot, and I can see why, but I don't care for Megan Man at all, and I absolutely love Shovel Knight. I also feel like SK's story and world building doesn't get enough credit - Yacht Club did such a nice job creating an interesting sense of place and character. The boss fights are fantastic, and moment to moment gameplay throughout just feels good. Obviously, its one of my favorites, but it really is amazing, and it absolutely deserves it's reputation as an indie masterpiece.

@everynowandben Nice mini review. Thanks!

YES PLEASE! This looks fantastic. And that soundtrack...omg.

This looks so rad! It reminds me of Shinobi 3, one of my favourite games ever.

@PossibLeigh You should try some old Atari 2600 classics like "Adventure". It will give you a new sense of appreciation for 8 bits graphics. 😄

Anyways, Shovel Knight is gorgeous for a "8 bit game" and it would be impossible to run it on an actual NES.

@slavo_mir84 From the publisher website: It's 19,99 US$. If you preorder it, it's 14,99 US$.

It does not seem to be available to preorder atm though.

I'm not feeling it.

@Turbodream Haha, been there, done that (I'm 44)

@PossibLeigh Well, that'll teach me not to assume people age and makes an ass of myself. I'm actually younger than you lol (34).

@Turbodream No worries, mate. I didn't at all indicate that I've been playing games from a very long time!
