Critic Reviews
33bits
By Jose Antonio Calvo CenicerosCyber Shadow is a prodigious and meticulous work of artisan, classic way and with few names like yesteryear. A superb action-platformer arcade with a pampered and measured visual, sound and playable design. Cyber Shadow is pure fun, and a game that has to be known and played by more people than those of us wallowing in nostalgia and the past.
Nintendo Blast
By Raoni Mendes PinheiroIt is easy to enjoy Cyber Shadow, as well as to realize that it is the fruit of a lot of love and hard work. The title is undoubtedly one of the most striking releases of 2021 and an indie that deserves to be remembered (and played) for a long time, especially on the Switch. This is a refined game as a whole, which knows how to respect nostalgia without fear of taking certain liberties and fully addresses the issue of the highest difficulty. Be sure to give Cyber Shadow a chance.

By AnaitGamesA love letter to retro games that know how to add its own personal touches to an otherwise well-known formula.

By Zack FornacaFor those who still keep to the old ways, though, this is the real deal. There are plenty of retro games, including some widely lauded ones, that I feel missed the mark with ill-considered gimmickry, boring level design, and smug pandering. Cyber Shadow’s not that. It’s not a winking nod or cynical nostalgia bait. It’s a worthy successor.
TheSixthAxis
By Adrian BurrowsCyber Shadow is a compelling modern retelling of the iconic retro classics of yesteryear. Sure, there are issues; the pacing feels off and 'knockback' really should have been consigned to the dustbin of unwanted gaming mechanics. None-the-less, Cyber Shadow is basically Ninja Gaiden if it had been released in 2021. Not sure I can think of any higher praise than that.
