There are other achievements for speedrunning the game but with the difficulty of the last few levels I realistically don’t see many people attempting to accomplish those due to the infuriating nature of them – if you seek replayability from this game though then that’s your only avenue for it. There have been many times in the last few levels, especially the last one, where I’ve gone almost all the way through a super long-ass room and then gotten killed and had to redo the whole thing, frustrating me to no end.ĭespite the difficulty ramp up, all in all I took only 6.6 hours as tracked by Steam to finish story mode. These later levels can also extend the length of a room by throwing multiple groups of multiple enemies – you need to really exercise caution because of the aforementioned squishy nature of Mr. In the later levels the game difficulty ramps up significantly – it throws a huge variety of the enemies at you. You start with easier enemies that shoot one bullet from their guns at a time, gradually progressing to enemies with flamethrowers, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, and so on. The game regularly introduces new enemy types at various stages of the game, keeping the player on their toes throughout the whole 18 levels. However, I dislike that from the second act onwards mechanics are introduced which hinder your shifting abilities, running somewhat counter to the advertisements of the shift mechanics. The adrenaline rush that the player gets from rapidly dodging past these enemies into different rooms is wonderful. He can shift through walls and dodge enemy attacks with relative ease. It’s advertised rather prominently in the game’s name, the protagonist’s name, the trailers, etc. Shifty has one thing working in his favour – his shift abilities. It’s irritating because there are a few cases where the developers follow game design rules and stop it replaying after the first time, but most of the time it does not – and that is a bit of a shame, because the dialogue is pretty appropriate and presented in a comic book-ish style.Ĭompared to Hotline Miami, Mr. You’re probably going to reset a lot in some specific rooms in each level, so it’s good that restarts are near-instantaneous (you can choose when to restart) – what’s NOT good however is that almost every time, any dialogue that plays at the start of the room is displayed again, and is unskippable. Shifty is impossibly squishy and dies in one hit – when he dies, the room resets. Like Hotline Miami’s player character, Mr. Usually you have to eliminate all the enemies in each room before the door to the next level opens up – there are a few exceptions. The gameplay is rather reminiscent of Hotline Miami, where you progress through multiple rooms in each level. When I say “picture Hotline Miami”, I mean it. This takes place across 18 levels, divided into 3 acts of 6 levels each. His initial goal, with guidance from his overseer Nyx, is to steal a highly radioactive item from a tall tower, but this later progresses to him taking down the evil Chairman Stone that is in charge of the tower. Shifty is blessed with the aforementioned shift/teleport abilities – hence his name (duh). The titular (and typically silent) protagonist Mr. One can only hope that these issues will be fixed relatively soon to give Switch owners more choice to play. Unfortunately, that port has been reported to be plagued with slowdown issues, prompting even the developers to suggest getting the Steam version (reviewed here). Shifty is the first tinyBuild published game to be ported to the new Nintendo Switch console, making it one of the first few (though not included in the launch batch of) titles to be released for the console.

Picture Hotline Miami, but strip away the guns, and mix in a bit of Tracer’s ( Overwatch) blink abilities plus the ability to go through walls, and you get this game. Shifty, the first game from Team Shifty (based in Australia) is a top-down beat ‘em up game.



TinyBuild strikes again with yet another game release in 2017 (following the Early Access titles Guts and Glory, and Streets of Rogue.
