Crouching would be useful for attacking low targets and avoiding attacks on certain heights and Cyber Shadow has neither on offer.
While I think not having crouch is somewhat strange, I don't feel it is a deal breaker.

I mean nothing against an crouch, bust just adding it afterwards would probably break the leveldesign which was carefully crafted for the controls.

That would require the dev to not be a closet difficulty sadomasochist.

A lot of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guy throws at you would make sense if you had some kind of evasive manoeuvre (like a crouch) though, wouldn't it?

this game is hardest...im in rage...this is punish

This game is challenging sure, but sadomasochist difficultly? I don't think so. There are plenty of games far harder than this, and it's very forgiving with how many checkpoints you get and the fact you have unlimited lives. I really don't understand when people talk about this like it's one of the hardest games ever made or whatever.

Welcome to the modern gaming landscape, people would find even Super Mario World too hard nowadays.
