It’s also pretty singular in its aesthetic and mechanics a no-nonsense linear action-platformer that sees your cyborg ninja slashing their way through obstacles, culminating in challenging boss fights. And unlike most retro-inspired games that indulge in postmodern fourth-wall breaking and gags, Hunziker says, “There’s nothing funny about the game – it’s very serious.” It’s a pretty straightforward set-up, but it’s told with similar ‘cinematic’ art the classic Ninja Gaiden was also known for – as well as its hardcore action platforming, of course. There’s a tendency to equate dark, mature games with the Sega Mega Drive, but Hunziker instead cites the NES games he played growing up like Batman, Contra, and Shadow of the Ninja (aka Blue Shadow in Europe) as inspirations for Cyber Shadow’s dark, futuristic setting.Īfter getting caught in a nuclear explosion, your protagonist is reborn as a cyborg ninja and embarks on a quest to rescue their clan.

And as he puts it, “If Shovel Knight is inspired by all the happy and cheerful games of the NES era, mine is inspired by all the dark and gritty ones.” The game is the debut of solo developer Aarne Hunziker, who’s been working on it for the past three years.

Enter the newly announced Cyber Shadow, a ninja-focused title that confirms the company is comfortable in its love affair with the 8-bit era. But as Yacht Club finishes up its Kickstarter-funded classic with a final expansion, the developer’s next step has been to move into publishing. Granted, games are increasingly becoming a live service of never-ending updates, but it’s not what you would associate with a 2D retro-inspired platformer.
