"Shadow Complex Remastered" will be launched on May 3 for the PlayStation 4 and PC. The studio is excited to bring their video game to other platforms so that they can welcome more gamers to experience it.
The remastered video game, which was originally an Xbox Live Arcade game, will be coming to Sony and Steam stores next month in North America and Europe, according to a post by ChAIR co-founder and creative director Donald Mustard from PlayStation's official blog. The game has a price of $14.99, which was the same as the Xbox One version that came out earlier this year.
Mustard explained that some of their favorite gaming experiences have been made possible on Sony's PS4, and they would like to have their game join the home console's roster of games. He added that it has always been the goal for the gaming studio to bring their video game to the PlayStation gamers.
According to the game's official website, it will have all of the original game content, better graphical enhancements, and more achievements and challenges for players to play with. There are also new surprises added like the all-new dynamic melee takedowns to make the players have a better experience in playing the game. There is also a new bonus mode called the Proving Grounds that will provide side-challenges for players, and to let them master all of the skills they gain throughout the game.
The game studio's original goal in designing the game was to make a game similar to other class non-linear 2D side-scroller games like "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" and the "Megaman" series. Mustard said that the 2D side-scroller games were abandoned for the new 3D games, but the studio wanted to combine the two versions to make something new.
The game studio's twist on classic side-scroller action with modern design was a single-player adventure that has a lot of non-linear levels for players to go through. An extensive 10+ hour campaign was the game studio's promise for the remastered game, and players can go through multiple playthroughs to gain rare items and power-ups to make the protagonist stronger.
