Review: Shadow Bug

Hola! I'm Shehan, and it's time for some mobile gaming reviews with me as usual.



Today I will be reviewing 'ShadowBug'.

Release your inner ninja skills with shadow bug. A game developed by Muro studios, for $4.21(there are no additional in-app purchases) and if you are a fan of silhouette styled games then you're going to like this game right away. The game is mainly action, with a few traces of puzzle.

The Plot:

Players take control of an overpowered ninja hero named Shadow Bug. A evil factory nearby has caused terrible creatures invading his home forest and it’s up to him to take it back by slicing these creatures into pieces.

The game's controls consist of simple one finger touch. And it's even better with the great music to which they also recommend using headphones. It's silhouette heavy and has amazing backgrounds.

The game animations are lag free (tested on an iPad 4) from the game's protagonist to the enemies.
The game offers several chapters with 8 levels each, boss fights included. Most of the time it is effortless, slicing and dicing your way up, but sometimes you will just have to stop and think.

To have Shadow Bug move left or right, just tap-and-hold on the appropriate half of the screen. When an enemy appears, just tap on it to attack — Shadow Bug instantly warps over to the target, so that’s how you get through otherwise impossible obstacles and make your way to the gate... Failure to do so would mean the death of shadow bug due to spikes, enemies and other hazards. While you’re in the air, you can still long press on the left or right side of the screen to “fall” in that direction, but just watch out for dangers.
The only disadvantage would be the price, which is certainly quite high. I don't know whether it is worth that much to you, but I got it for free during a AppStore sale.

Nevertheless, I really had a mesmerizing experience in this game. Not only for its amazing art work and soothing music but also for its sheer simplicity. I highly recommend this game.

Interest Concentrated rates this game 7/10

Note: I found out that there is a free of charge sequel for ShadowBug. I will definitely post that too... So stay tuned.
