A game like Shadow Complex can easily be described as a love letter to other titles that inspired it. In Shadow Complex’s case, Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are the primary culprits. Shadow Complex is a side-scrolling action game with some RPG elements. Loosely based on the future United States envisioned in Orson Scott Card’s novel Empire, gamers are tasked with getting through a secret military base full of super-soldiers and top secret weapons. Exploring the entirety of the complex while collecting all of the goodies strewn about easily constitutes one of the most satisfying experiences of the entire generation, one fully enhanced by non-linearity and speed-running.
