Cyber Shadow is lengthier than I thought it would be, but ends before wearing out its welcome.
I love indie games that are “quality over quantity”, such as the spectacular Coffee Talk. Oh, wear headphones while you play if you can. I think my favorite piece was in Chapter 7:
MEKA DRAGON CYBER SHADOW CRACKED
Jump up towards the top while avoiding the toxic gas escaping the cracked pipes. The theme to the first stage alone should sell you on the game if you weren’t already there! I found the music helpful in pushing me to try again and again in harder sections. Cyber Shadow Chapter 3 - Mekacity Ruins We'll have to start climbing up the platforms here. The soundtrack of Cyber Shadow might actually be favorite thing about the game! It was composed by newcomer Enrique Martin and Jake Kaufman (of Shovel Knight fame), and simply put, ROCKS HARD. You’re going to need some better headphones Things escalated pretty quickly during this boss fight. Again, with checkpoints I found everything tolerable (like in Kaze and the Wild Masks), but your skills will certainly be tested! My final death count was 252. The dreaded (or classic, depending on how you look at it) knock back is also present, as are numerous flying enemies and projectiles near instant death pits or spikes. Generally the game stays balanced in the middle, but does veer (sometimes quite precariously) toward the “tough” side! At no point did I feel I was on the verge of rage quitting, but checkpoints are often spaced pretty far apart, sometimes enough to truly frustrate you if die just short of one. Imagine Cyber Shadow walking a tight rope with “tough” on side and “fair” on the other. Without the option to change them, some moves never quite felt intuitive to me, even by the end of the game. In theory, it’s a fun throwback, but in reality, the usage of more buttons would have helped make the robust move set easier to execute! There are some options to remap basic commands, but special moves require two buttons. Everything was designed to emulate the original NES controller, which had two main buttons.

MEKA DRAGON CYBER SHADOW HOW TO
That’s all there is to know about how to get all the items and what they do in Cyber Shadow. The orbs will start to disappear if used too often, but they will regenerate over time. When one of these orbs makes contact with an enemy, it’ll damage or even completely take them out. The Orbiter surrounds Shadow with a ring of eight small orbs. You won’t find this extremely useful item until very late into the game. The only downsides are that sometimes you’ll want to parry the projectiles instead of having the Salvager turn them into SP and an empty room won’t do you any good if your spirit gauge is low. But the biggest difference here is that the Salvager will absorb enemy projectiles and turn them into spirit. This is a bit like the SP Dispenser since it gives you SP. The SP dispenser slowly restores your spirit gauge one at a time whenever it’s not full. The Spirit gauge in Cyber Shadow lets you launch fireballs, throw shurikens, and chain together super stylish dash attacks. The Ningun will fire rapidly at nearby enemies one at a time as long as you’re facing in the direction of the enemies. However, this one mostly has a mind of its own. This is another floating helper that fires projectiles at enemies. The first is a single shot, the second fires off two smaller projectiles above and below where the single-shot flies, and the third level of charge combines the previous two for a total of three projectiles. This little floating blaster follows you around and fires off shots when you hit the attack button.
But it will take a few seconds for the shield to regenerate after doing this. The shield can also be fired straight ahead by hitting the attack button. This will protect Shadow from most projectiles that come flying at him from the front. The E-Field is part shield, part projectile. You can even attack it to make the giant shuriken go flying into enemies. It spins around you and damages enemies as you move. Having this item will extend the reach of Shadow’s sword. Keep in mind that these items will be destroyed after you get hit three times and if you pick up a new item, then you’ll lose your current one. Here’s every single item you can get in Cyber Shadow, along with what they can do for you. But future and past checkpoints will still need you to pay up if you haven’t already. Fortunately, once you pay up the first time, that checkpoint will always give you the item.
