Combine that with great 8-bit cinema scenes paying tribute to Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden trilogy, and you have what looks like the ultimate throwback to the 8-bit fast action game.Īnd not only does Cyber Shadow look excellent: it sounds excellent too, with a soundtrack that has to be heard to be believed, with energetic tracks that will stick in your head for days, and tons upon tons of songs that could each serve as a modern retro masterpiece. Beautifully animated 8-bit sprites populate the game, with satisfying animations, gorgeous backgrounds, and pleasing colors that bring to mind Natsume-Atari action games such as Shadow of the Ninja and Shatterhand.
