The game was primarily made over the course of several years by a solo Finnish developer, Aarne "MekaSkull" Hunziker, with Shovel Knight developer Yacht Club Games only coming along near the end of the project to help polish and publish it.

Cyber Shadow Review: Ninja Gaiden's Angry Cyberpunk GrandchildĬyber Shadow is a dark 8-bit-styled action-platformer that takes much of its inspiration from the part of the original NES' library that was big on '80s-style future dystopias.
