This is not to say there is no story present however. Part Super Meat Boy part Mark of the Ninja, Shadow Blade seeks to be more of a test of skill and endurance rather than a magnum opus in storytelling. Right from the offset the inspiration for Shadow Blade is clear. The question is has developer Dead Mage’s PC update lost something in translation? The answer strangely seems to be both yes and no. Set for release before the end of the year, Shadow Blade: Reload seeks to not only bring what made the original successful to a new market but also seeks to iterate on the games features. Initially released as a mobile title in January, Shadow Blade found success on iOS, Android and even with a more niche market on the Ouya. The demand for these titles to make the leap from the small, portable screen to the larger, less casual one is where we find the retro-style platformer Shadow Blade: Reload. For the longest time, mobile games and console/PC games were kept separate, however it is this line that has now begun to blur. The huge successes of titles like Angry Birds and Plants Vs Zombies has not only opened up the idea of great financial and commercial success to the mobile market but have also brought with them another new development within the industry. With mobile gaming reaching new heights on smart phones and tablets and the rise of the indie developer, no one can count out the potential commercial success of mobile and indie titles in today’s ever-more perilous market.
