Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming and addictive free-to-play title. The developers, known for hits like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, deliver another delightful experience. Shadow Trick maintains Neutronized's signature style: short, sweet, simple, and fun. Its 16-bit pixel art creates a nostalgic retro feel.
Gameplay in Shadow Trick:
As the title suggests, you play as a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to solve puzzles. This core mechanic is cleverly implemented. Players must seamlessly switch between their physical and shadow forms to navigate treacherous environments, evade traps, and outwit enemies.
The game unfolds within a magical castle, boasting diverse biomes, hidden perils, and challenging bosses. Across 24 levels, players hunt for three moon crystals per level, essential for unlocking the true ending. Perfecting your skills is rewarded; defeating bosses without taking damage is necessary to collect all 72 crystals. Expect tricky encounters, like the red ghost boss, which can seemingly vanish and reappear unexpectedly.
Shadow Trick offers varied gameplay experiences. Environments range from standard platforms to aquatic levels requiring shadow-form navigation and unique boss encounters.
Worth a Look?
Shadow Trick boasts appealing retro pixel art visuals and impressive environments, complemented by catchy chiptune music. If you're a fan of classic platformers with a modern twist, download it from the Google Play Store.
