Die unabhängige Spieleschau ist eine lockere Newsreihe, die Indie-Games mehr Bedeutung schenken will. Dabei spielt das Genre keine Rolle: Action-Adventure, Simulation oder Strategie - Alles kann, nichts muss.
Ihr habt ein solches Game entdeckt, dann her damit: Stellt mir eure Indie-Entdeckung in diesen Thread samt kurze Game-Info, Links zur Webseite etc. vor und werdet so Teil der nächsten Newsausgabe von "Die unabhängige Spieleschau". 
Im Zuge der diesjährigen PAX East in Boston, USA hat das Ein-Mann-Entwicklerstudio Mechanical Head Games (Gründer: Aarne "MekaSkull" Hunziker) und Publisher Yacht Club Games - bekannt durch die Shovel Knight-Reihe - das 2D-Ninja-Action Game Cyber Shadow angekündigt. Anfang 2016 stellt Arne Hunziker das Game auf der TIGSource-Plattform offiziell vor: Interessierte Leser konnten so die Anfangsentwicklung nach und nach verfolgen.
Im Game schlüpft man in die Rolle von Shadow, der in einer Welt lebt, die von synthetischer Lebensformen regiert wird. Um den Grund herauszufinden, warum die Welt untergegangen ist muss sich Shadow durch Horden von Gegner kämpfen und listige Fallen überwinden - die Stadt Mekacity ist düster und gefährlich. Dabei wird die Story über animierte Zwischensequenzen erzählt, die im Stil an alte NES Ninja Gaiden-Teile erinnert.
Ein offizieller Releasetermin zu Cyber Shadow wurde noch nicht genannt. Das Game erscheint für die PC-, Nintendo Switch-, Xbox One- und PS4-Plattform und wird 14.99 US-Dollar kosten.
