Shadow Trick is a cute action, adventure, and platformer game developed by Neutronized. The game takes inspiration from classics such as Super Mario Bros and its platformer genre while improving on the foundation that the game was built upon, using an impressive pixel art style and a wonderful soundtrack that is sure to immerse players.

With 16-bit aesthetics as its main style, Shadow Trick is set to replicate the great classics with its spin on the platformer genre. In this game, you are a wizard who can shift between light and shadows to help you hide and defeat your enemies. 

Switch between the light and shadows

Shadow Trick utilizes its unique gameplay design of letting you switch from the current stage to the backgrounds of the shadows where players can phase through obstacles and opponents as they please. This can be useful, especially for obstacles that are impassable, but players must be careful as the shadows can also be their enemies and not help them at all.

The game also boasts over 20 levels with so many ways to solve puzzles, as well as a charming art style that is sure to delight players in a relaxing way. Combined with its clever gameplay style, this action game is looking to become the next big hit alongside the legends with its simple but fun gameplay.

However, despite all the good gameplay design and art style, the game is lacking in terms of gameplay time as players can expect to finish the game in an hour or less, depending on their playstyle. On top of that, the game can be too easy for some, so it is expected that there will be no rogue-like difficulties. Still, the game promises replayability.

The shadows beckon

Shadow Trick may be a short game depending on the player, but it is nonetheless a good game that is worth trying due to its unique and simple but fun gameplay. It also has cute and charming art style as well as its innovative way of solving puzzles compensates for the lack of long gameplay time. The game has high replayability too.
