Gametech: Cathedral provides retro delights on Nintendo Switch 

If you liked Shovel Knight's old-school feel, Cathedral offers similar attractions. Zelda also marks a big anniversary - and we've got the lowdown

Cathedral is a welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch’s retro-inspired library of games

Some people build an altar to the past. Others just want to alter the past. Cathedral does a bit of both. It’s a heartfelt tribute to bygone classics, with just enough modernity to avoid frustration.

The first thing you’ll notice about Cathedral is the hero’s resemblance to Shovel Knight, another retro tribute game. There are some similarities between the two. If you enjoyed Shovel Knight’s old-school platformer vibe, then Cathedral has plenty to get excited about. It contains a lot of the same DNA, being a tribute to legendary 2D sidescrollers like Megaman and Ghost and Goblins.
