Can we NOT appreciate how shadow never said “pathetic” to any of the bosses:(

[@MasterChiefKeef1]

[@HunterCarrell]

Especially Sonic.exe?

When I TASed this, I couldn't get passed Wacky Workbench because for some reason the level was on loop.

I really enjoyed this game/hack. Shadow has a great move set that really adds to the game and it makes the game look fun to play and at times, through the not so good levels, it saves the game. What I love about Shadow is that he does his best to show that he ISN'T Sonic. Shadow is so gangster that he needs to shoot someone/something even just to perform his super transformation. Shadow is so gangster is that, even when he is in his super form and has lots of rings left, he still chooses to shoot the bosses instead of jumping on them. My favourite part is when he iced Sonic.exe with his gat and actually waited for a chance to shoot Sonic.exe rather than just jump on him to finish him off. I applaud that dedication and willingness to not purely rely on using super forms to kill enemies and bosses. Shadow's move set really makes traversing all of those levels seem easy and fun, I love the upwards boost and the power smash/drop, the roundhousing is a lovely touch too and it shows that while getting all of the emeralds and acquiring the super form adds to the game, it's not necessary and you can still have fun playing without it. My biggest area of concerns with this hack/game is the palette and theme music for the zones. They can do with an overhaul. I get that as it is Shadow - who has a darker personality, story and uses guns - that darker zone music and colour scheme seems quite fitting, but some zones really skipped "dark" and went to depressing, especially the zone based on Aquatic Ruin Zone with Sonic.exe as boss and as for the levels based around Marble Garden Zone and Sandopolis could have been designed better. It would also have been nice to have just one boss based around the Green Hill Zone boss and it would have been nice to see the special stages varied and altered to make them a bit different from the Sonic 2 special stages. However, in all, I really enjoyed the game, some of the levels i.e. those based around Starlight Zone, Stardust Speedway and Ice Cap zone were excellent! Good work! :) :) :)

Brandishing shüüt to go Super, what a novel idea...

[@samuelmauldin9131]

Anyone else love the way how it was All Hail Shadow the Crush 40 version (i guess that could be cause of me actually being related to Johnny Gioeli, it's really on down there but i am related), i just love the Crush 40 stuff with sega anyway, i've been that way since before we found out we're distant cousins. and one thing IS THIS HACK SUPPOSED TO BE THIS GLITCHY?!

bruh this game is just sad...

[@SAWmacaco]

to me would be better if first stage had an cyberpunk atmosphere/theme, and all level design was focus in shadow gameplay, with only shadow as playable, at last on first play

[@SethSkoda]

3D shadow looks amazing, but imo there could have been a few more frames in the running animation in the 2D levels. Still, good hack overall.

[@robomix9744]

OOO THIS LOOKS COOL

[@funnyman1204]

BRUH they renamed ice cap in frost mountain, smh what a disappointment, plus all the MODERN name of zones sound kinda stupid tbh. it sounds better like "Mystic Cave Zone" or "Casino Night Zone".

[@charabill4129]

The title says "return of Shadow" - but where from does he return? This hack doesn't seem to explain it in any way. Also, Shadow shouldn't even be awakened by the time of classic era. Still, canon in Sonic? Pffft. :3 I liked how Sonic.exe was seamlessly tied to the context - it was pretty neat and graceful, I must admit. In addition, it was quite funny how they turned bosses into somewhat mobile casinos. :p Repetition of bosses was meh though. :/ 47:11 - oh, and yes, look how edgy we are. ^w^
