Shadow blade reload3/5/2023 Though I wish there were more effects to the audio, it’s mainly clean and the range adequate for providing solid reaction times to obstacles. Sound design is surprisingly engaging in Shadow Blade: Reload and I found the sound effects to really deliver an exhilarating experience. There are three difficulty levels to choose from, but I found the Normal setting to be enough of a challenge. Additionally, there are various difficulty unlocks that actually change a large aspect of the level themselves. Of course, as with many games like this, once you complete a level you are greeted with a score and sometimes a comic book gameplay moment before moving on or picking the next location. It should be noted there is a timer counting down your completion for the level which is attached to your bonus at the end of a stage.īoss fights are also present and while not truly memorable, changeup the gameplay formula that I wasn’t quite expecting. While Shadow Blade may be best played at full speed, its true excellence lies in momentum of an action. This will allow both styles of gameplay to shine and makes rediscovering new routes and worthy to come back to past stages. Shadow Blade: Reload very much sits in the speed-running category, but also heavily influenced by pinpoint and exact platforming. It really is a moment-to-moment exercises of judging the next area and mastering your ninja that can be unexpectedly deviated by hidden paths, being unexpectedly ambushed, and surviving enemies galore. How the fast-paced action of speed-run gameplay mixes with swift movements and excellent level design shows how Shadow Blade is at its best when played one step past your ability to think. There is a surprising authenticity with how stellar the controls feel. This isn’t on the level of Celeste or Ori and the Blind Forest, but stands on its own as a satisfying platforming experience. Luckily, your ninja can dodge these weapons and the controls are spot-on in terms of reliability and response. These enemies can carry katana’s, nunchuks, guns, and a variety of other different weapons. There will be many enemies to block your path and each is introduced with a spectacular display with a little comic book introductions and the name of their class flashing below them. When starting out it’s hard to understand why the dojo was designed the way it was with many types of different hazards throughout its corridors, but it makes sense as Shadow Blade is a 2D action platformer where you are jumping and slashing your way through fairly linear stages in order to reach the end. As the one true ninja, your goal is to fight your way through the evil presence that threatens the worlds very existence. The story of Shadow Blade: Reload is minimal, but it starts with a student in a dojo that is randomly attacked by ninjas. While it wears its mobile origins on its sleeve, it still provides a satisfying adventure that will appeal to any fan of those aforementioned games. With these types of influences it’s easy to see why it is such a solid platformer.
