News and Events / SHADOW GANGS ZERO - Kickstarte...
Last post by Marcio D. - August 18, 2024, 12:26:17 PMIf you enjoyed games like Shinobi (1987) and Shadow Dancer (1989) in the arcades (or at home on consoles and computers - e.g. Sega, C64, and Amiga), take note of this series.
In 2020, a Shinobi-style action game called Shadow Gangs was released for Steam, Switch, PS4, PS5, and Dreamcast. Its success has now led to the development of a prequel named Shadow Gangs Zero, and it'll be released for Steam, Switch, PS5, Xbox, Neo Geo, Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, and Dreamcast.
The Kickstarter campaign has achieved full funding, but it still needs to reach a series of stretch goals, the first of which is:
Second Playable Character
Introducing Hikaru, the ninja girl! Play as this new character and experience the game from a fresh perspective.
Take a look and see if you might be able to help out!
