A great new entry in publisher Yacht Club Games’ portfolio,\u00a0Mechanical Head Studios’\u00a0Cyber Shadow<\/em> is the “quintessential ninja action game.” Following the hero on his apocalyptic crusade through the\u00a0all-too-familiar cyberpunk setting of Mekacity,\u00a0Cyber Shadow<\/em> captured its audience almost immediately with its beautiful pixel art, pumped-up soundtrack, and classically challenging gameplay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Much like its ancestors in the\u00a0Ninja Gaiden\u00a0<\/em>franchise, and its older brother Shovel Knight,<\/em>\u00a0Yacht Club’s newest promised quite an experience.\u00a0After its relatively short play-time (by today’s standards at least), many found themselves satisfied, if not wanting just a bit more from the stunning world of Mekacity. While waiting for a potential sequel<\/a>, or just Yacht Club’s next venture into the world of platforming, here are some games to fill the void of high-octane 2D action.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Katana ZERO<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Here is another fantastic breakneck ninja game with a tech-beat soundtrack and some of the best gamefeel one can expect from an action platformer. Released in 2019,\u00a0Katana ZERO\u00a0<\/em>is available on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.<\/p>\n

Katana ZERO<\/em> is a stylish example of the modern pixel art community’s finest. From the visuals to the techno bumps and the time-freeze mechanics,\u00a0Katana ZERO<\/em> is the perfect rhythmic cyber-thriller.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Shovel Knight<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Yacht Club’s first mainline game,\u00a0Shovel Knight<\/em> surprised fans<\/a> with a deeply nostalgic, yet shiny and new experience.<\/p>\n

Riding on the gimmick of classic NES style,\u00a0Shovel Knight<\/em> quickly became much, much more than just a tribute to some of the best platformers of all time<\/a>. The game\u00a0boasts a charming world, well-developed characters, and several DLC featuring fan-favorite bosses. For fans of the genre,\u00a0Shovel Knight<\/em> is a must-play.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Ninja Gaiden<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Cyber Shadow’s<\/em> direct inspiration, as cited by Yacht Club in its initial announcement<\/a>.\u00a0Ninja Gaiden<\/em> is a tough-as-nails classic that’s gone on surprisingly long considering the series’ many ups and downs<\/a> over recent years.<\/p>\n

Most players will recommend the first three NES titles and the first two reboots, which should be more than enough content to occupy a good franchise binge. Hopefully, Ryu will make a comeback before long and a new\u00a0Ninja Gaiden\u00a0<\/em>game will become a reality.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Mega Man X Collection<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

What can be said about\u00a0Megaman X<\/em> that hasn’t already been said a million times before?<\/p>\n

Capcom’s classic title is often cited as not only the best Mega Man<\/em> game<\/a>, but\u00a0one of the best video games of all time.\u00a0Mega Man X’s<\/em> design is all-around fantastic, and game designers and artists alike use it as a premiere example of teaching good, fun design in the industry.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Following the successful Kickstarter campaign from the beloved developer of\u00a0Castlevania<\/em><\/a>, the\u00a0Bloodstained<\/em> series promised a return to the franchise’s roots.<\/p>\n

Curse of the Moon<\/em> was released as an accompaniment to the Kickstarter’s main course,\u00a0Ritual of the Night<\/em>, except boasting a much more retro style, akin to\u00a0Castlevania’s<\/em> early titles. A splendid homage to NES games,\u00a0Curse of the Moon\u00a0<\/em>is a great game even without the nostalgia goggles. A sequel was also released in 2020.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Messenger<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Devolver’s\u00a0The Messenger<\/em> can easily be seen as a spiritual twin to\u00a0Cyber Shadow<\/em>, taking the same approach to a modernized adaptation of\u00a0Ninja Gaiden<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The premise of the game is fairly simple, summed up primarily in the title. The player takes control of a ninja on his quest to deliver a scroll to the top of a mountain. Along the way, the\u00a0game presents new abilities and twists, giving the classic formula a new spin.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Mark Of The Ninja<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Mark of the Ninja<\/em> is praised as being one of the greatest stealth games<\/a> of the modern era, with the title garnering perfect scores from several sites.<\/p>\n

Following a nameless protagonist through the ages-old conflict between tradition and tech,\u00a0Mark of the Ninja<\/em> is a beautifully executed entry into the genre, and a great outlet for players to execute their ninja fantasies. When it comes to modern 2D action-stealth games, they don’t get much better than\u00a0Mark of the Ninja<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Strider<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Strider<\/em> is another beautiful example of how to reboot a classic arcade franchise<\/a>, with its slick visuals and tight controls.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Of The Best Arcade Games From The 1990s<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The original\u00a0Strider<\/em> was a major influence on franchises like\u00a0God of War\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Devil May Cry<\/em>, with its innovative hack-n-slash style. The reboot brings protagonist Hiryu into a slightly darker version of the series’ dystopian future. In reality, both versions are a blast and well worth players’ time if not for the original’s limited availability.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Super House Of Dead Ninjas<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Taking a cue from classic arcade games with a more modern rogue-lite approach<\/a>, Adult Swim’s\u00a0Super House of Dead Ninjas<\/em> is an addictive, fast-paced rush.<\/p>\n

Akin to\u00a0Minit<\/em>,\u00a0SHoDN<\/em> gives players only 30 seconds to make their way down a randomly generated tower, with time bonuses granted along the way. The formula promises quite a bit of replayability,\u00a0even if it is naturally very difficult.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Project Blue<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Following the recent trend of creating games with the limited hardware of old consoles,\u00a0toggleSwitch’s\u00a0Project Blue<\/em> met a successful Kickstarter goal\u00a0to allow\u00a0the\u00a0game to be brought to real workable NES cartridges (as well as a slightly more available digital release).<\/p>\n

In a fitting tone, the player is set loose in a cyberpunk apocalypse and tasked with fighting a megacorp. While simple in premise and gameplay,\u00a0Project Blue<\/em> has a surprisingly charming style and more than succeeds in its fulfillment of the gimmick.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>BONUS: Vapor Trails<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

An indie release that’s actually still in its early access stage,\u00a0Vapor Trails<\/em><\/a> is a promising venture into a world bursting with style.<\/p>\n

Noted by\u00a0reviewers<\/a> as “akin to something from Platinum Games,” the mechanics are tight as combat becomes a dance between offense and defense with an exquisite flow. The developer is also actively working to fill the game out past its (already satisfying) current state, meaning reviews and critiques are more than welcome, and will likely be implemented into the dev cycle as the game continues to grow.<\/p>\n
