Description: Shadow Labyrinth is a strange, but bewitching metro-vanning cocepy, where Pac-Man (more precisely, its gothic double of Puck) turns into your sarcastic satellite in a gloomy, ruined war on the world. Instead of the usual waffles and ghosts, rusty technologies, angry biomes and enemies with belated reflexes, which Puck is happy to absorb, as if a rejected character from God Eater. You are an nameless swordsman with amnesia (affectionately nicknamed “number eight”), jumping along ruins with grace, reminiscent of a cat on a slippery parquet: stylish, but with the risk of miss at the most inopportune moment.
Everything is strange here – from the plot (intertwining with the timline of Bandai Namco) to gameplay. One minute you cut the monsters with triple combo, the next one-turn into Puck to ride on rails like a ball in a pinball, or dive into a mini-gim that resembles a pac-man on steroids: labyrinths with plastic traps, five-minute timers and cunning bomb panels. The engine is capricious in places – jumping through the abysses require superior flow, and the bosses first seem to be in the beating dolls – but when you finally accelerate, you feel like the lord of this chaos. Especially after the GAIA activation: the mechanized version of the PAC-Man, which chews enemies like popcorn, leaving behind only a puddle of nostalgia in the 80s.
Despite the sharp contrast between the gloomy setting and stupid references (a perk store where they sell “spine and shells”-this is not a yellow circle with eyes), the game manages to maintain a balance. The card is thought out so that the secrets are found by themselves, and the mixture of the classic platformer and high -speed “rail” rays does not allow to get bored.
