Release Date: January 26, 2021
An action platformer in which we play the role of a ninja warrior trying to stop a robot invasion of Mekacity. The pillar of the gameplay in Cyber Shadow is the combat against hordes of adversaries, led by powerful bosses and other ninja warriors.
Cyber Shadow is an action platformer game, which draws inspiration from the achievements of 8-bit era classics. The production was developed by the independent studio Mechanical Head, and its release was taken care of by Yacht Club Games.
Cyber Shadow takes us to a metropolis named Mekacity, which has been attacked by sinister machines. The main character of the game is Shadow - a ninja warrior trying to discover the real reasons behind the invasion and to stop his synthetic adversaries.
In Cyber Shadow the action is shown from the side. While travelling through various locations, we mainly deal with numerous platformer sections and environmental traps and the elimination of hordes of enemies. The key to success in battles is not only to dish out quick attacks but also to avoid hostile blows and to get execute swift counterattacks.
In addition to ordinary enemies who are relatively easy to defeat, we are faced with more demanding bosses, that include powerful combat machines and ninja robots. Throughout his adventure, Shadow rescues members of his clan who teach him new skills, allowing him to face stronger opponents over time.
The two-dimensional graphics of the Cyber Shadow game were made in a pixel art technique. The old-school design is complemented by a dynamic, chiptune soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Cyber Shadow Video Game.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
If you consider yourself a fan of retro action platformers, you owe it to yourself to pick up Cyber Shadow whenever possible. It's clear in virtually every facet of Cyber Shadow's design that this project was a labour of love and that its designer is intimately familiar with what makes the stalwarts of this beloved genre so great. Well-built levels, authentic presentation, tight controls and a high difficulty all combine to make this a supreme and focused experience, and one that we can easily say is well worth your time. Mechanical Head Studios has set a high bar with its inaugural debut, and we can't wait to see more from this developer.
GameCrate: 9.3 / 10 by Angelo D'Argenio
Cyber Shadow packs a lot of quality into a small six-hour package. If you love indie platformers and have a soft spot in your heart for games like Ninja Gaiden and Shatterhand then you won't want to pass this one up.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Stephen Tailby
Cyber Shadow isn't afraid to just be what it is: an unapologetic, retro-inspired action game. Steady upgrades mean you'll be introduced to new mechanics for most of the adventure, keeping things interesting all the way. An old-school challenge awaits, and while it's mostly a fair fight, checkpoints can be a little far apart, and some bosses might stop you in your tracks. Still, if you're looking for a rock solid side-scroller, this is absolutely worth your time
