Switch Between You And Your Shadow To Defeat Enemies In New Retro-Style Platformer Shadow Trick

Neutronized's latest platformer, Shadow Trick, is a charming, bite-sized adventure. The creators of hits like Shovel Pirate, Slime Labs 3, Super Cat Tales, and Yokai Dungeon: Monster Games deliver another delightful title. Shadow Trick retains Neutronized's signature style: short, fun, cute, and easy to pick up. Its retro 16-bit pixel art gives it a nostalgic feel, and best of all, it's free-to-play.

Shadow Trick Gameplay:

As the title suggests, you play a wizard capable of transforming into a shadow to solve puzzles. This core mechanic is cleverly implemented. Players must seamlessly switch between their physical and shadow forms to navigate obstacles, avoid traps, and outsmart enemies.

The game unfolds within a magical castle, boasting diverse biomes, hidden perils, and challenging bosses across 24 levels. Each level conceals three moon crystals; collecting all 72 unlocks the true ending. Defeating bosses without taking damage is crucial for a complete crystal collection. Expect tricky encounters; for instance, the red ghost boss has a deceptive disappearing act.

Environments are varied and engaging, including aquatic levels where shadow form is essential for traversal, introducing unique and quirky fish bosses.

Worth a Look?

Shadow Trick boasts appealing retro pixel art visuals, impressive environments, and catchy chiptune music. If you enjoy retro-styled games, this is definitely worth checking out on the Google Play Store.
