Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming, short, and simple game with a retro 16-bit aesthetic. Known for titles like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games, Neutronized delivers another free-to-play experience.
Gameplay in Shadow Trick
Players assume the role of a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow, a unique mechanic used to solve puzzles. This shape-shifting ability is crucial for navigating the magical castle's treacherous biomes, evading traps, and outsmarting enemies.
The game features 24 levels, each containing three hidden moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals unlocks the complete ending. Beating bosses without taking damage is key to this achievement, demanding precise timing and strategic use of the shadow form. Expect challenging encounters, like the elusive red ghost that can reappear unexpectedly.
Environments are diverse, ranging from standard platforming challenges to aquatic levels where shadow manipulation is essential for survival. Unique fish bosses add to the variety.
Worth a Look?
Shadow Trick boasts impressive visuals for fans of retro pixel art, coupled with engaging environments and catchy chiptune music. Available on the Google Play Store, it's a worthwhile download for platforming enthusiasts.
