Shadow Labyrinth, an completely bonkers riff on Pac-Man and sidescrolling Metroidvania video games, will hit digital retailer cabinets on July 18. It’ll be obtainable for Nintendo Swap, PC by way of Steam, PS5 and Xbox Sequence X/S.
The sport casts gamers as Swordsman No. 8 as he befriends a yellow orb known as Puck. For the gaming historians on the market, Puck-Man was the unique identify for Pac-Man. The gameplay includes switching from the traditional sword-wielding hero to Puck, with the latter in a position to crawl on partitions and (shock) gobble up yellow dots. There’s additionally a 3rd type, a mecha assemble known as Gaia.
The gameplay appears to be like frenetic and pretty violent, which looks like an odd selection for everybody’s favourite perpetually hungry orb. Bandai Namco is making the sport, nonetheless, and it made the very first Pac-Man all of these many years in the past. I’m going to offer them the good thing about the doubt right here. In any occasion, it’s not as if builders haven’t experimented with Pac-Man up to now. The famished fiend has been featured in racing video games, platformers, countless runners, puzzlers and extra. What’s yet another style so as to add to the combination?
Shadow Labyrinth can be obtainable within the unique model and as a Digital Deluxe version. That one comes with a digital artbook and the soundtrack.
