Story
Gameplay

Shadow Labyrinth is an action platformer and a variation on the classic Pac-Man. The game was developed and released by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Story

Shadow Labyrinth takes us to a science-fiction universe, or more precisely – to a planet full of relics from an ancient intergalactic conflict. During the game, we take on the role of Swordsman No. 8, who wakes accompanied by a golden ball named PUCK.

The unusual companion of our character chose to become his tool. From now on, we have no choice but to move forward and discover the secrets of the globe, as well as unravel the mystery of our stay in this place and understand the true intentions of PUCK.

Gameplay

In Shadow Labyrinth events are presented from the side. As we explore the planet, we jump on platforms, avoid traps and fight enemies. On our way, we mainly encounter all sorts of monsters, led by big bosses.

In accordance with his name, Swordsman No. 8 eliminates enemies, primarily using a sword. As we progress, we unlock new powers and abilities, which we can combine and use during dynamic battles.

A special mention is due to PUCK, who is constantly accompanying us. The golden ball supports us in combat and is also able to change form (it then becomes much larger and more terrifying) and devour adversaries.
