9 Years Of Shadowsis an in-development metroidvania which features music from Michiru Yamane, Manami Matsumae, and Norihiko Hibino, who worked on Castlevania,Mega ManandMetal Gear Solidrespectively. This doesn’t excite me, but I mention it in case it’s appealing to you.
What does excite me is that 9 Years Of Shadows otherwise looks fab, due to richly detailed pixel art, glittering world design, and a sidekick that appears to be a teddy bear ghost.
Here’s a trailer, broadcast duringGamescom 2021:

There’s nothing I’d describe as original in the trailer above, but it’s sure executed with style. If those halberd strikes feel as good as they look, and if traversing via those zoomy tunnels is as much fun, then I’m onboard.
9 Years Of Shadows was originally fundedvia Kickstarter, where it raked in $1,988,905 Mexican pesos (around £71,000 GBP). Updates have been steady since and 9 Years is reportedly arriving soon, though it currently has no announced release date. Until it does, you can keepan eye on it via its Steam page.
