So, PAC-MAN went through a goth phase, and now he’s your boss. In the 2D action platformer Shadow Labyrinth, your job is to consume your enemies to steal their power, growing from helpless prey into the planet’s apex predator. You’re Swordsman No. 8, a title which strongly suggests the first seven guys couldn’t find the ‘Dodge’ key. To avoid their fate, you’ll need to master a fluid combat system of attacks, grapples, and special skills… it all starts with the keyboard. Below are the default controls—your first step to not becoming Swordsman No. 9. We both know you’ll rebind them instantly anyway.
