One of the better Metroidvainias Ive played. Story is lackluster but the gameplay is great.
A hidden complex awaits Shadows conceal a growing threat One hero fights back alone
It's fun and not too difficult. Feels like Metroid Dread but way less difficult. Which made it more enjoyable for me. Had to turn off steam cloud saves or it wouldn't save though.

+ Incredible metroidvania, one of the best + Still holds up after 10 years + Nolan North! + The range of movement, the powers, it's just so slick. + Props for being Steam Deck compatible, ran perfectly and looks GREAT. - Epic Games - Can't even buy it in the AU steam store right now. That's so silly. Epic Games again. - Plot is ( Y ) but whatever, it gets the job done! - Epic Games truly are awful - Mobile games: the success of Infinity Blade meant they canned Shadow Complex 2. A- A GOOD TIME
A little jank and a little Xbox 360 nostalgia but all in all this game still holds up pretty well
Скоротать пару деньков пойдет. Если заморачиваться на 100% дней 5. Нормалды
Pure nostalgia bait for me right here. I bought it the day it released on Xbox arcade and beat it a few days later. Released at a time when I was obsessed with Gears of War and would buy any Unreal engine game, even Blacksite:Area 51 which I actually enjoyed. I wasn't into side scrollers or metrovania style games but this turned me into a fan and after I beat it was buying up any similar game I could find on the arcade store. This still is my favorite and most memorable of those games at the time. This version still holds up well and I can barely fault it for anything other than some finicky controls and some tough platform sections at the end of the game. Apparently it is not more popular on Steam as it never goes on sale but it is well worth the price, especially considering it is a remaster. I recommend using the "Vibrant" graphics mode or it otherwise looks washed out, as was the trend at the time. Devs used to think nearly black and white games looked realistic. I highly recommend the game; nice graphics, fun gameplay, lengthy campaign, a decent story with cut scenes and a reason to want to progress (they stole my girl!), satisfying power ups making the game better the longer you play, and a new game plus mode once you beat it. 9/10.
Uncharted meets Megaman.
Shadow Complex is pretty solid for an early indie Metroidvania. This was one of the first big ones that came out during the Xbox Live Arcade days, back when the whole indie scene was just starting to blow up, It’s got that raw old school feel, running around, blowing s**t up, upgrading your suit and wrecking everything in your path. The bosses are decent and the gunplay feels satisfying, It’s got that proper sense of exploration and power fantasy, That said, it can get pretty labyrinthine and kinda tedious. The map is a pain in the a*s sometimes and it definitely shows its age. Controls are a bit stiff by today’s standards and some sections feel like pure old school ball busting Still, for a game made before everyone had easy access to engines and accessibility tools, it’s impressive, If you’re a Metroidvania fan and you haven’t played it yet, give it a go. It’s not perfect but it’s got soul. Worth your time
A fun Metroidvania twin-stick platformer. Has its moments of jank, and some of the items are pretty blatant padding of the "if you come back here later, you can break this panel and get the item behind it" variety. But the movement is good, the level design is solid, and the writing is goofy fun.
