Shadow Labyrinth, an totally bonkers riff on Pac-Man and sidescrolling Metroidvania video games, will hit digital store shelves on July 18. It’ll be accessible for Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
The sport casts gamers as Swordsman No. 8 as he befriends a yellow orb referred to 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 capable of crawl on partitions and (shock) gobble up yellow dots. There’s additionally a 3rd kind, a mecha assemble referred to as Gaia.
The gameplay seems to be 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 present them the good thing about the doubt right here. In any occasion, it’s not as if builders haven’t experimented with Pac-Man prior to now. The famished fiend has been featured in racing video games, platformers, endless runners, puzzlers and more. What’s yet another style so as to add to the combination?
Shadow Labyrinth shall be accessible within the unique model and as a Digital Deluxe version. That one comes with a digital artbook and the soundtrack.
