Shadow Gangs - 80's inspired 2d beat em up. Kickstarter.

[Wrath Of Khan]

Shinobi longplay video -


a liiiiittle bit more than just 'inspired'... same gameplay, same kind of attacks, same kinds of levels (with the crates and the ability to jump 'behind, same kinds of enemies, with some of the (exact) same animations, etc.

The first level is very similar to shadow gangs, your right- the coder Jack is a big shinobi fan I believe.

I'll wait till it's released. I backed 90s Arcade racer on KS and we have received nothing since 2013.

A few years ago stuff like this was free and better.
Why is so much freeware better than the mass of overprized kickstarted shovel- and vaporware?

Yeah, I want to play 90's arcade racer if it ever comes out- sure was a long time ago- I think they underestimated how long it takes to make a Daytona usa style game.
Hopefully it will be released.

I did back The way on kickstarter and it was delayed by over a year- I knew it would be when I backed it but it was only 10 bucks- the game was released and it was worth the wait. slain on the other hand...
Shadow gangs now has a Dc pledge, 30 pounds for a physical copy- the developer is great at taking feedback and constructive criticism- thats why i backed it.
He lowered the price for a physical copy from 60 to 30 pounds as per my suggestion.
The art style is kitschy but I think it will play nicely.

The other game I backed was kingdom come deliverance for ps4... still dont have a ps4...

This game has advanced and changed quite dramatically - its looking real good now imo.
