The fact that the graphics are kick ass and totally original and then on top of that the creator went the extra mile to port everlong into the game, one of the best songs ever written, a tune by the Foo Fighters is what makes this hack an instant personal fav. Very cool!!

(DOSW) Darkness of Shadow World's the kind of game that will require save states for probably at least the first half a dozen playthroughs depending on your ability to adapt maneuver and remember things. Although exceedingly difficult in some areas, that doesn't necessarily entail a bad game. Remember how difficult the very first Mega Man game was when you first started playing it but you still did it right? I don't in anyway consider this to be a bad game with poor enemy placement or level design choices. In fact I truly think it's one of the better hacks but I also happen to be a guy who doesn't mind playing through levels that many other people would consider exceedingly hard or unplayable.

I wouldn't recommend this hack to people who are looking for an easy time or casual gaming experience. I would only recommend it to those who are up for a challenge. This game is also compatible with the air sliding patch which should help immensely during your play if you decide to use it.

Have Fun!

It´s been a long time since I played a CHIKO´s hack (don´t have to say why, because it´s obvious), but I decided to play this one (don´t know why). And you know what? This one surprised me.

Well, this is a CHIKO´s hack, so it´s obvious that have cheap sections and parts that need save-state, like gyro´s stage with fast moving platforms that doesn´t show which direction it is pointed out (I think it was this stage. I can´t remember surely), or Crystal´s cheap attack patterns, etc. That didn´t me.

What surprised me is the hack as a whole. It is playable and isn´t not THAT bad compared to some of his other ones. I didn´t played much CHIKO´s hacks (like I said, don´t have to say why), but I do played few, so I know about his style.

The attack patterns are the same from wily´s dream space. Few musics are from others mm games and the rest is new. And the new ones are great actually, especially Charge, Gravity, Protocastle 3 and the final boss. I loved these ones.

Compared to other craps that he released, this one at least isn´t to throw away from entirely. Like I said, it does have cheap parts like always, but they didn´t go on forever (in this one).

I can´t believe I´m saying that, but if you want to try it, you can, because it´s possible.

The level and music changes are nice and all. But when you purposely make the player unable to continue unless you have a specific "special item" power-up, that really p**ses the player off, especially when nowhere on the hack page does it point that out. The only way to exit the level is to reset the console or kill yourself (Which you'll rarely be able to do). Also, I'm not sure if the title is supposed to be "Shadow World" or "Shaow World," if it's "Shadow" then the author made a pretty big mistake in either translating, or spelling.

Overall this mod is a great example of PLAY IT BEFORE YOU RELEASE IT !!!!
