However this is not to say that Shadow Blade or its PC upgrade are bad games. Despite its best efforts, Shadow Blade is in real danger of getting lost in a market that has one too many bigger fish already swimming in it. Unfortunately it is when compared to titles such as these that Shadow Blade and its PC remake begin to fall apart at the seams. Gameplay must be king here and there is little room for cutting corners when you have Super Meat Boy and Fez as immediate competitors.
SHADOW BLADE RELOAD STEAM PORTABLE
However with such a small amount of focus on story and in a genre so hotly contested in today’s indie and portable markets, Shadow Blade: Reload has a lot to do to stand out from the crowd.
As story is almost never the portable gamers primary concern, the lack of focus on it is understandable in a game like Shadow Blade and despite Reload not being in the portable camp, the audience it is shooting for is sure not to mind much regardless. It’s about as basic as they come regarding the narrative and it serves as merely a backdrop to the games action and an excuse for its structure. In order to achieve this however, Kuro must fight, sneak and jump his way through a whole host of increasingly difficult stages in search of the last remaining Ninja Master and the wisdom he possesses. It concerns protagonist Kuro, a young man on a mission to become the Shadow Blade, a ninja of legendary status. This is not to say there is no story present however. Part Super Meat Boy part Mark of the Ninja, Shadow Blade seeks to be more of a test of skill and endurance rather than a magnum opus in storytelling. Right from the offset the inspiration for Shadow Blade is clear.

The question is has developer Dead Mage’s PC update lost something in translation? The answer strangely seems to be both yes and no.

SHADOW BLADE RELOAD STEAM ANDROID
Initially released as a mobile title in January, Shadow Blade found success on iOS, Android and even with a more niche market on the Ouya. The demand for these titles to make the leap from the small, portable screen to the larger, less casual one is where we find the retro-style platformer Shadow Blade: Reload. For the longest time, mobile games and console/PC games were kept separate, however it is this line that has now begun to blur. The huge successes of titles like Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies has not only opened up the idea of great financial and commercial success to the mobile market but have also brought with them another new development within the industry. With mobile gaming reaching new heights on smart phones and tablets and the rise of the indie developer, no one can count out the potential commercial success of mobile and indie titles in today’s ever-more perilous market. All his training has led up to this one moment, where the fate of the world will rest in his blood-stained hands.Įpic NINJA Platforming: Test your skills in fast-paced platforming, mastering the skills of the ninja to breeze through challenging levels.Release Date: Early Access – July 21, 2014
