Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming, bite-sized adventure. The publisher, known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, delivers another fun, free-to-play experience. Shadow Trick boasts a retro 16-bit aesthetic and simple, addictive gameplay.
Shadow Trick Gameplay:
As a shadow-shifting wizard, you'll navigate a magical castle brimming with puzzles, perilous biomes, and challenging bosses. The core mechanic involves seamlessly transitioning between your physical and shadow forms to bypass obstacles, evade enemies, and uncover hidden secrets.
The game features 24 levels, each concealing three moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires skillful boss battles without taking damage – a feat made tricky by enemies like the disappearing-then-reappearing red ghost. Environments are diverse, including aquatic levels where shadow-form navigation is crucial, introducing unique, quirky fish bosses.
Worth a Look?
Shadow Trick's retro pixel art style is visually appealing, complemented by impressive environments and catchy chiptune music. If you enjoy retro-styled platformers, this free-to-play title on the Google Play Store is well worth checking out.
