Shadow Force: Glitchworld - Gameplay

Shadow Force: Glitchworld could be decent if it wasn’t such a snoozefest. I’m always interested in a classic platformer to entertain myself, but Shadow Force: Glitchworld made me wish time would go faster so I didn’t need to play it anymore. The only reason I played the game for an hour was to see if it was good and write this very short review and even so, playing was pure torture. In this retro platformer, there are really only four main mechanics: moving forward and backward, jumping, and killing monsters. The objective is to stay alive to secure points that accumulate over time, which count toward a high score. To do this, I had to jump from one platform to another while slaying monsters using a ranged attack. If I fell off a platform or touched a monster, I’d die and end my run. I had to move fast too, as the screen automatically shifts to the side during runs and would push me off a platform if I wasn’t careful.
