Yacht Club Games announced its second project that it is publishing with Cyber Shadow, a ninja action game developed by Aarne “MekaSkull” Hunziker, for PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. The game is described as a “NES-style game that had the level design principles of Mario, the skills and action of Ninja Gaiden, the enemy designs of Contra, and the dark visual aesthetic of Batman.” You can check out more with a trailer, a batch of screenshots, and details from Yacht Club Games below:
The world has been taken over by synthetic lifeforms. A desperate plea for help sets Shadow on a journey to uncover what started the path to perpetual ruin. Slash through the techno hordes, leap past traps, and nimbly navigate the ruins of Mekacity in Cyber Shadow.
