Shades: Shadow Fight Roguelike Reviews

by The Blue Kusarigama

At the expense of the game experience, you have to watch ads and buy stuff in order to make this game decent enough to play. If not and you’re like me trying to play out as honest as possible, you’re going to be stuck on a lot of chapters, especially later in the game due to basic low stats and levels. Think about doing impossible fights from shadow fight 2 but impossible is the “easy” difficulty. Strategizing your collection of this app throughout the run can do so much and you shouldn’t depend on them. I rage too much playing this game because my naive self keeps thinking there’s a part of this that’s fair, but it’s not. Nothing fun about losing to win, especially when half your pay2win factors like watching ads don’t even work! Not enough time was spent on it. I’m gonna beat SF2 for the 5th time, now that’s a real game. GO BACK TO THAT FORMULA

by Huyphan_cameraman

The mechanic works like the Frankenstein of Shadow Fight 2 and 3. Very smooth and the story seems promising. However, git gud is not an option. Without watching the advertisement, you won’t be able to buy or upgrade anything due to the new game doesn’t have a way to earn money without have to buy the currency with the real world money. The enemies has the most diabolical stuff and we are not informed what they have like the previous game, based on pure luck due to the this app provided that could be trash or kinda good. Two or three system of forcing the idea of pay-to-win exist in everything. Just open game, “Hey, you might as well buy this.” and one thing I notice, if you actually paying for anything, your chance improves big time. Like I got rewarded some dice to reroll the outcome of this app, and when I reroll, the chance of Golden this app comes out all of the sudden becomes extremely high. A sad game.

by Binker2000

The game is appealing to players of the original Shadow Fight 2, with the classic art style and controls and such. But this is a massive cash grab, filled to the brim with micro-transactions and in-app purchases that are constantly being forced down your throat while you play. Your progress will slow down a lot, very early on, and you are basically required to watch advertisements or purchase things to make progress. The enemies also read your inputs making the combat bland and boring. They will literally stand there and do nothing until you make a move just to hit you, with the occasional random attack thrown at you when you do nothing. It’s incredibly dull, much worse than the original. Even if the original had a bit of that too, it’s noticeably worse here.

I haven’t experienced much of the story but I would like to point out that the story itself is uninspired and reading the dialogue is like watching paint dry. It’s also filled with grammatical errors. I cannot comprehend how this game has 4-5 star reviews. It’s terrible.

by Raymond Milam 19

Literally just up the power of the upgrades and diversify the starting weapons more and I could pallet it more. Aside from the the most grind I’ve ever seen in any game stack it with the most stuns, throws, explosions, status effects, and unblockable perfect combos that are so pixel perfect that I can confidently put money that I’ll lose an entire run because my kick (to the head of my opponent) got kicked, out of the air. And you might say oh that’s not so bad but think twice if you ever think you’re getting up again. Let’s say you hope you make it to hermit. Then after all that hoping you make it there, if you don’t use the katana and perfect attack stun him with your heavy single forward attack then ur done, it’s over, there’s no hope. I hate this game in its current state.

by PupperStroodle

A franchise that used to not be pay to win, become pay to win had got the be one of the most sad things to happen. The first few chapters, easy while still posing a challenge. As soon as you get the chapter 3 and start trying to progress on the harder difficulty chapters, I don’t exaggerate when I say this but it literally become IMPOSSIBLE to kill even a round 2 martial fighter. Forget it if they have the shield perk. The only genuine way to win in this game once you have progressed even a little, is to pay $40 DOLLARS for a set that works on only one chapter. The balancing in this game is so off, it’s so difficult to even want to play. Combat wise 5 STARS. But progression, I’d give a negative 5 star review if possible. If we were able to get more rewards/loot for our wins, more chests, more events and other ways to get upgrades this game would become INFINITELY better. Last thing, I have a one star legendary weapon, and it’s still does like no damage to some of the enemies in this game. And they aren’t even bosses. I really want to give this game a 5 star review but can’t find the reason to at this point. Thank you!

by Soebekdjej

I love the game, I love absolutely everything about it and I’m a huge fan of the game. BUT theres just a bunch of bugs that keep me from giving the game 5 stars. To start off, the game is for some reason really laggy. I have played games that require 50 times more power yet I never lagged in a single one of them, yet when I play this game I just lag for some reason. Another problem is, the game completely bugs and the little training animation that you would see in the menu for Shadow just bugs and he just doesn’t stop walking towards the punching bag. Once this happens I can’t start a game, literally. I press the play button but nothing happens. Please fix these bugs so I can enjoy my time with the game.

by Yurlol

I understand that the game is in itself an advertisement. But at least shadow fight 2 had substance. It’s interesting to play a new experience but when it is overpowered by The actual bombardment of “great” offers when still asking for a heinous price of $40-$60 for a smidge of in game items to even get a chance for upgrading gear is laughable. And to make it more of a necessity you make the opponents all the more god like to the point where the only solution to overwhelming projectiles and magic is to upgrade your armor where it can withstand the damage. I get there’s a grind aspect but it’s literally game breaking problem a majority of this community.

by Modarekdat

Every modern nekki game is so bad I get ur a Chinese company ran by cashcows but maybe try to make a playable experience before you work on micro transactions I watched an ad to get a revive and was immediately disarmed and triple hit to death I watched a 30 second ad for 5 seconds of gameplay and they’re really gonna drip feed me the same weapons from the first games as paid items and loot I have to pay four dollars for a sword, the third item in the old games. If u like vector, ignore the new one, spend a dollar and get the classic one, if u like shadow fight, buy shadow fight 2 premium, it’s the best experience by far, no ads, they crank the rewards for u and no energy

by OMGeeitsnicky

4.7 Stars is really generous. This game needs work. I’ve played shadow fight games since 2, and while this app is fun, it’s got plenty of issues that do not warrant such a high score so early on. Not enough loot (mainly with new higher quality weapons), ads to revive don’t work (you’re only supposed to watch one but my ads 50% of the time don’t work. If I finish watching one ad (IF it loads), the game will act as if I didn’t watch it at all and I’ll have to sit through 4-5 pointless ads just to get one revive and get slapped around immediately by cracked AI, not enough game mode variations (can we get an endless mode?), not enough healing this app (I’ll get a healing shade at the very beginning of a run and that’s the most pointless thing ever, and will never get it again when I actually need healing), and more. These are just some of the issues I’ve seen while playing. I still enjoy the gameplay, but I think there needs to be some balancing, reworks, and new additions to make this game better. I’ll be keeping my review score low until things change.

by Wambly101

Half the time when I push a button for a specific move, I just jump. When you land a critical hit that knocks the opponent down, if you even touch them, it resets them and they stand right back up with no animation or actual knockdown. And the balancing is horrible. Grinding for better equipment only to get two hit thanks to the ai that’s basically set to impossible difficulty at all times. I loved playing levels on shadow fight two with impossible difficulty because the game was responsive and combos could be executed smoothly, but it’s near impossible to do that here. You don’t have to spend money to get things done which I’m happy about but it’s still really rough around just about every edge. I miss the funny ragdolls of shadow fight two and they’re still sort of there but I can tell they tried to “fix” them and I think that’s where the critical hit glitch comes from. Still better than shadow fight 3

by Fightingshadowsinmyroom

The game design starts off well: with the replacement of perks and enhancements, you get the choice of 3 “this app” per round that gives you different abilities in battle. However, on the general scope, the game doesn’t allow you to easily upgrade your gear that follows the pacing of your progress in the story.

In Shadow Fight 2, the pacing between upgrading your gear and fighting the bosses was fair and balanced. In this app, you have to make 6-7 figures to spend on crates hoping you don’t get a common item for enemies to instant kill you on the second stage.

While the graphics and engine works fair similar to SF2, the whole idea of this app feels like a cashgrab and all the characters are recycled for no reason. If you plan on spending no money on this game, it will take you a 9-5 job skipping holidays playing this game in order to advance to the next chapter. This game can be really fun if they scaled the difficulty of enemies or bump the rate of upgrades.

by Speaking Tree

This is a pretty cool game. It’s basically shadow fight 2 with some cool abilities. One thing that I find annoying is the energy system, it’s such a bad system that encourage micro transactions and watching ads, which bring me to another point. Whenever you die in a run, you have an option to spend 50 gems or watch an ads. Of course you have to buy these gems which is more micro transactions so I always choose the ads, but there is a chance that when you finish the ads, the game crashes and it counts that you lose???

Edit: The ads crash bug is fixed, but now there is another bug regarding ads again. If you watch an ad to revive and it is a vertical ads, it basically doesn’t count and you will have to watch another ads and hopefully that it will be horizontal. How can you messed up ads in mobile game in this 2023?

by Kliefg

This doesn’t feel like a rogue like in really anyway. The closest thing to randomization is the weapons your opponents have. Progression after Act 1 and 2 slows down to a snails pace, and there is no incentive to replay so you just have to bash your head against a wall again and again. I really don’t see myself continuing the game beyond Act 2 at this point when I after attempt after attempt finally make it to the Act 3 boss and can only get through one of the health bars. There is almost no player choice beyond this app. Healing is so difficult to come by, and it is almost impossible to never get hit in a fighting game. The only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of one is because I enjoyed shadow fight 1 and 2 and this maintains the systems of those games, just in a significantly worse form.

by Sloth Man Of Mystery

After playing this game for a while I have noticed some problems with the game that has really ruined the experience for me. The first thing being the advertisements, there aren’t any forced ads you have to watch which is great but whenever you watch an ad to get some kind of in-game reward it doesn’t always work. The type of ads that will actually give you the reward once you watch it are the ones that have an actual timer counting down to the end of the ad. If an ad does not have this when you click the “x” button to leave after watching it it does nothing and the option to watch the ad is still there. I literally just sat through 5-6 ads that didn’t work properly. I will give this a five star review if this gets fixed.

by /Acidic\

I appreciate you bringing back Shadow Fight 2 with new mechanics (some nice, some meh), but I can’t really enjoy that now cause when I press the fight button, for story mode or duels, it won’t even let me IN THE FIGHT. and the duels straight up disappear when I press the button to fight. I’ll change the star rating when this is fixed cause this is just so unfair for me.

by XeCruz19

This is the the biggest p2w game ive played in a while. You cant get past certain areas without better gear or you will get 1 tapped. To get better gear you would either have to wait a week for a boss fight or pay $8.99 for different bundles. A chest with a chance to get gear better than uncommon costs $3 and it isnt possible to get the gear without getting the gems for the chests. This game is P2W

by Abc123_baby

Fun like the old shadow fight games, but it seems like the duel opponents are programmed to know every move and combo you’ll throw at them. The difficulty really only changes how much health they have and sometimes has a modifier on the arena. The duel opponents are my only real complaint, they seem to block most attacks, deal ridiculous damage and spam attack, dodge any ranged attacks you have and most heal themselves while having 2-3x your health. The progression is fun with the chapters and acts, slightly grueling to grind for a few upgrade pieces at a time with 4 attempts in the arena at a time. The main problem I have is Guru, I managed to get through his first two health bars and lower the last one to 35HP he suddenly gained an invincible buff he’s never had in any attempt and the next 9-10 hits I landed did zero damage and he struck me twice without a weapon dealing 4000+ damage… if the enemies have plot armor then there’s an issue. I debated deleting it after feeling cheated out of a hard earned win in two hits from his fists and not even the dual wield hammers.

by Wildwes_83

Overall the gameplay is pretty fun and the forge system is interesting. Haven’t had too many issues except for one thing and that is the neutral attacks and sometimes the input reading in general. The neutral attacks seem to have a 300ms delay on them and this could be caused by there being a hold down attack which is pointless because it’s the same as the forward single attack. Often times if the enemy is close to you, you will do an attack in the opposite direction from where you try to. I’m hoping that in the future updates the hold down attack gets removed and when you try to do a neutral attack it starts up the attack as you press the button with no delay. Otherwise it’s a decent game so far.

by X Shadow Owl X

I love the game and I love everything about the game but one piece of feedback that can easily be fixed is a bug when watching an ad to continue a run, I watch the full 30 second ad and close the box but it does nothing and I try again and I try 3-4 times in a row so I’ve just wasted 2 min which might not seem like a lot but that’s on top of not being able to continue the fight so now I have to wait a whole week before fighting a boss again. This bug is super punishing and I hope this comment gets looked at and the the bug is fixed. I’m a lifelong fan of the shadow fight games but this is frustrating.

by Short-squid

Took the whole store out and replaced it with a forge system. Then suggest it would be easier with a better weapon, but not before you show me i can buy a purple weapon for $9, or an armor set for $18. Also your ads don't work half the time, witch leads to you waste more time rewatching it until you give up because its not going to work. (Think this is smart tho considering you earn more money off what your already trying to take, although its optional for us to indulging either, I’m just saying make it work make the ads work)First thing i looked for when i got it was the ad disabler. Witch isnt a thing anymore. But i think would be a good idea even if on some sort of cheap subscription.

by Billy_bob125

For some reason when I’m connected to the wifi and tap the fight button to begin the rounds it freezes. I can tap the coins, armory, etc but the 5 energy is taken and the fight doesn’t start and the fight button doesn’t work. It works when I’m disconnected to the wifi but still breaks from time to time. Next, it crashes which I don’t understand why because it doesn’t have the crazy animations and backgrounds like shadow fight 3. If I was a ad to roll it would crash at the end of the ad and I can’t progress even if I close the game and reopen it and will have to surrender. Don’t know if it’s my phone or what but I’m liking the game so far when I don’t have these problems.

by Izervizer

Game itself is good but, it is very unreasonable as game bosses are very strong and game itself does not applies to any support to a player itself , for instance bosses can spam as much magic they want, they stay up slower than MC itself and opponents damage is registered on a player very fast. Enemies always have advantage and from whole game passed by after death we can revive only 2 times free? Very alogical, at least balance enemies so we could play normally without non-overcoming casualties.. how am i suppose to win a game which is basically against me? You need big work on hitbox adjustment. Try not to make thr game worse and non playable.

by Respectful Feedback

I would like to start off by saying shadow, fight this app is a good game, and I don’t have two too many problems with it, but I do have some pointers that I would like to convert in express. Firstly this app are in my opinion just perks from Shadow Fight 2. Where I would like to see change from this app is for the current system to be just like shadow fight two perks and make them permanent in how the new system should be is it adds special abilities and new animations to the battle in the gameplay because I think it would make the gameplay very fun and would remove the repetitiveness in boring this of the game I also know that this is possible because the updated graphics in appealing this of the game in the new art style. I also don’t like how you have to constantly do nine battles in a row with the ninjas from Shadow Fight 2 without any new enemies and how it is just survival instead of the traditional 2 round based fights. I appreciate you Nekki for your time, and I hope these changes or something similar.

by Superswagman9000

To preface, the base game is great. OG shadow fight art style, great responsiveness. But, you will download it and play up until midway of the first chapter, and you will no longer be getting nearly as many new items to boost your progression. There is a very obvious plateau in which the game rewards your efforts, and the difficulty keeps ramping up so you will be left with basically no chance unless you choose to watch advertisement after advertisement.

The game also shoves its own advertising in your face, many of the in-game items are $30, $40+?!!! For two weapons?! Crazy, and it seems clear that its aimed at exactly the type of player who is frustrated with that insane difficulty and just needs something to increase their stats to match that difficulty, as even just buying "gems" will only allow you to open "loot boxes" where the items that are yielded are at random and oftentimes bad items that will not progress you. It is nefariously designed this way so that players are much more likely to turn to the larger in-game investment and spend that $10 to $15 to get whatever weapon or armor set they need to progress in the story.

by Naieblep

I like the game because it’s just survival from shadow fight 2 but one thing I find very odd is you can’t knock each other down so meaning if I do a jump attack or something that leave me off balance and I get hit it doesn’t knock me down. The only way to get put on the floor is to get a critical hit and vice versa. I liked this feature because it actually felt semi realistic and ninja’s fighting like this was super cool but now it’s just mad annoying because the AI (and myself) just exchange blows and ends up with me putting them in an almost infinite loop of attacks. It’s pretty dumb in my opinion

by Silence Boomer

I enjoy having the old controls of Shadow Fight 2 back, but why is recovery time nerfed? You got back up so much faster and you actually had time to react to your opponent in SF2. Here, you get knocked down once, and then you keep getting hit until you die with almost zero recovery time, not to mention the hitboxes have only gotten worse. You miss your super slash almost all the time and we dont get good enough weapons to progress because the survival mechanic from SF2 was put on steroids, you can one shot the first round but after that, you barely make it through round two and then die round three. Opponents needs to be nerfed

by DJM1215

My first impression was not bad. I do enjoy some unique changes and where the story is going. However, the control/combat felt clunky and slower. A bit poorer than any other series though. I'm looking forward to playing more.

by Dawson825

Very good game. I like the fighting but some of the enemies are very ridiculously unfair and should be balanced better. For example some enemies can throw constant knifes at you and stun lock you from range. And some enemies have 6x your health and you have to slowly pick at their heath but you only get 90 seconds or so to kill them or you automatically lose, even if you have more health. Moreover, there are some enemies that can use their magic again after using it 10 seconds ago while you have to wait entire rounds to get yours. There is just so many things that you can’t do anything about that can end a long run you had.

by Vincent_05

mainly just 1 huge issue is the controls feel too small even when the size is maxed out and considering this is based off of shadow fight 2 those controls felt a lot more fluent too.

TLDR: controls need more size options (bigger)

by Partymaster11223471

I'm honestly pretty disappointed because I had high hopes for this game. I thought they would take all of the features from shadow fight 2(their best shadow fight game by far) and double down on it. Sure the combat is the same and the rogue-like system is a nice touch, but having no online mode and limiting what weapons you can use, per act, is pretty stupid. If they update and change stuff around in this game to make it feel more like shadow fight 2, but better, then I would praise it way more highly. For now, kinda upsetting :/

by ElectrotheCheetah

I really liked how they brought almost everything from Shadow Fight 2 back, like the fighting and things. I just have a few problems with the combat. I think the opponents need a nerf. I also feel like we should get some health after completing each round because if I barely get past round 7, next thing I know I’m fighting a ninja with sais while I have 8 hp left (those sai ninjas get crazy range). I like the new art style and the “cutscenes” that make it like a comic book. By the way, Nekki, you guys should make some comic books on each Shadow Fight game. Even an anime would be cool.

by Fekweedlord

Hi I've been having an issue it was working fine but once i hit level 4 i just couldn’t start a new run it would still take energy but wont even start loading the game I’ve tried re downloading the game but now after the tutorial it just stops letting me do a new run. Im sorry for the bad grammar and hope you can fix this cause i was really enjoying the game if i can I’ll change my rating when this gets fixed.

by Horrification.

When the new event dropped the game started having huge lag spikes making the game almost unplayable, and it’s not my iPad as everything else works perfectly fine. Any other app doesn’t lag. It’s only shadow fight this app. Other than that it’s a good game although it feels like you have to buy stuff at times to make any progress. Most bosses are fine but some have an attack that is basically impossible to dodge and requires luck or just really good equipment you can only get after a few months of constant playing or buying it. It’s frustrating when getting to a boss and absolutely beat it up before it becomes invincible to do an animation that spawns a basically impossible to dodge attack. When I die to other bosses most of the time it feels somewhat fair but a few bosses you just have to get lucky. Will update to four stars if the lag gets fixed.

by EZood E Rashti

Been playing shadow fight for a decade now, obviously not on this account.
New season/story dlc feels nice with a variety of new weapons and gear but leveling them up is seemingly the easiest compared to previous story fights but acquiring them is a while different grind! Each enemy is extremely hard to beat which I have no complaints about but it makes the game seem very scripted for example I have enemies jumping over my magic even when they’re downed and about to rack a combo but they get up, dodge, get behind me a punish me for using magic on them… .
One of the magic items the cube thing doesn’t even work properly or I’m just bad at using it😂😂😂
Thanks for your great experience but I sure hope u polish and make it make more sense❤️🙏🏻

by Aidan Wissing

Overall, I'm loving the game! I love how it expands on the old game with both characters, references, and design art, but I'm a little frustrated at the game play. I have already put a couple of hours into the game and I'm realizing how hard it is to actually move through the game. It feels like I am unable to move forward because the progression is so slow and the fights are near impossible to get through unscathed.
My question is this: if this app is going to be set like SF2 in the survival style of gameplay, why don't we have a set amount of healing per round? Honestly, I think that's the only problem, because even damage through blocks can be felt since it never gets healed. That would be my suggestion, but overall, it's a new game and it'll get even better.

by Jgnrcu

So the game is great and I’m happy to see a continuation of this great game series but there are issues. The main issue is balancing the enemies- bosses typically have around 10 times the amount of health as the player and increased defense. After hitting the boss 50 times they get in 2 hits that insta kill the player. Problem two is the ridiculous price for in-app purchases. $50 for a set of gear that is mostly useless or $80 for a legendary weapon that gives a tiny edge in battle is simply ridiculous. Not to mention more people would buy the items at a reduced price, therefore making more money for nekki.

by Banshee939

This game is beautiful and amazing it seems relatively unique in its idea while still keeping a classic feel, however, some of the combat feels extremely and unreasonably difficult to flow with and is extremely clunky. Another thing is how the upgrading and progression feels very limited, the energy mechanic is also quite restricting i hate it.

by TIRISH66

More simple in style since going back to the previous art of shadows, but I like the harkening back to the shadow fight 2 days.

However, hit registry is a bit off. You can completely miss an opponent but get hit without them being in range.

by Kolby Da King

Hello Nekki. As an extremely big fan of your games, I can honestly say the new game is pretty good so far. I like the different ideas. I have beaten shadow fight 2 like 5 times and is still playing shadow fight 3 and 4 and I would just like you guys to keep doing what you’re doing and making great games.

by Chaparral_

I don’t do reviews often unless a big issue happens and in this case it did unfortunately. I would like to be honest, I am a long time fan of this series and I grew up playing it when I was little up until now so to play this was a awesome experience and it brought a lot of good memories. I will now get into what happened, on act 3 I stumbled upon a cutscene issue and as I meditated I couldn’t move forward or progress at all. In fact I left the game multiple times to see if it was a issue on my end - I even shutdown my phone a few times to see if that was it and it wasn’t. I went back in game and tried to progress it only for the cutscene issue to happen again and again. I can’t move forward or do anything because of it and I do not know what to do. I have payed some money in this game and this bug has ruined my immersion. I might have to reinstall it and start all over. If you see this then I wish you heed my advice and look into the issue as it could happen to more people in the future thank you.

by CommandoKevin03

It runs along with the shadow fight 2 storyline so well and the gameplay feels just like the original but I think that the shields whenever your opponent moves NEEDS to be either changed or nerfed as they get immunity every time they move(dash, roll or jump) and you are vulnerable at nearly all times besides when you receive a critical hit

by Trauzt

As a fan of 2 I have to say this game really feels like 2 but with a heavier focus on movement and a tad bit on AI difficulty. I think having 10 continuous fights on the 1st Chapter is a bit much especially the last fight but it’s possible. Curious what the endgame will bring! Thank you for bringing back SF2.

by Matt[PRZ]

I thought the game was going to be good but it is just the story mode of shadow fight arena and the way you attack is so slow because in shadow fight three it was perfect and fast in arena it was a little slow but in this it is too slow

by RealEDH

If you come from playing the older games like shadow fight 2 , you are gunna love this. The Bots ( ninjas ) are a lot harder and they flow a lot more. I’m here having to re learn things to keep up.

They also kept the shadow fight 2 animations which I actually appreciate because it gives a sense of nostalgia and comfort.

Good Work

I can’t open the shop, every time I try it just says internet issue, but my internet is fine

by Mason The 5th Of 49

As someone who played the original almost 10 years ago, I love that this sequel feels more like shadow fight than the other games. However, the gameplay feels off. It feels like playing survival every time instead of working your way up to the bosses and bodyguards, which is fine! I love that they didn’t recycle the same game, and it very well may change, this is the first day it’s out. I just hope I won’t have to buy gems for special weapons, bc as much as I love this series I don’t really wanna spend 20 dollars on it, just to later pull a better non-unique weapon. If you loved the og game, then I’m sure you love this too, but it’s important to keep an open mind that change is gonna be huge especially after 10 years.

by Me Gijik

I’ve been playing the Shadow Fight games for a while since I was younger and it feels like it’s one of my favorite mobile games. this app gives one of the more classic feel of shadow fight with a beautiful graphic to it. I really love the game and I’m happy to see that there’s another out now, when I first seen that this app was going to come out when I was playing shadow fight about 2 weeks ago I was never more excited. The only off part is the lagging animation during the beginning of fights, the portal is a good add on but seems a little much despite normal shadow fight intros. Keep up the good work guys, I love this game.

I feel like after completing a chapter in an Act, we should be able to earn rewards from them again after completing, I want to be able to grind so that I can upgrade and get better weapons, I’m struggling to get through the harder difficulties of Act 1 because the enemies deal way more damage than I do and there really isn’t any way to grind more coins and upgrade equipment other than the Duels (which helps, but not a lot since I have to wait for a while). Nekki, if you guys can, please allow us to still get rewards for repeating a chapter, it doesn’t have to be a lot of course, just enough so that we can get what we need. I think it would help a lot not just for me, but for others as well.

by The Flash Fan Guy

10/10 game but the most annoying part about this game is I waiting for the little lightning icon to fill back up. I understand that it takes time but when you just want to grind the game you have to wait too long to get to play. I’m not sure how long it takes to fill one lightning/energy thingy at once but maybe they should make it shorter or make it so you can refill faster

by Nickname🤨

There are two bugs I’ve noticed with the game so far:
1. When using the saw blade magic, the enemy won’t be damaged when they’re lying on the floor after being knocked down. (Lying completely horizontally on the floor prevents them from taking damage from the saw magic)
2. Sometimes my opponent’s range bugs out and is increased. They’d be a bit further from me and try to execute an attack that wouldn’t otherwise touch me but it does.
OTHERWISE, the game is amazing! I very much hope something is done to include the “momentum” ability that’s found in tournaments more often in other things. Like maybe turning it into a legendary perk. The momentum ability alone makes the game so much more fun, being able to front-kick an opponent and they go flying across your screen.

I played almost every shadow fight and had fun with their own unique fight style. I like how this game used sf2’s fight controls but there is somethings I wanna talk about. First: I noticed that all the fights in this app end super fast; either you kill the enemy in 5 seconds or they kill you in 5 seconds. Now some may like these super fast fights some won’t but my main concern is not about the fight itself it’s how fast every projectile is, it needs a speed decrease, since some bots spam kunais and I can’t dodge it because I have a split second to react. Second: The game is too focused on playing one event. Duels have a timer making them unavailable most of the time, and there isn’t anything else to do. Third and lastly: Pretty please add training to this app. Shadow fight doesn’t feel like shadow fight without spamming one move on an npc or prop😂

I love the game and the visuals. The idea I have for the game is that you add a mode that we can fight for free to practice and hone our skills. There would be no reward of course, but it would be great to test out ways to counter certain attacks with certain weapons. I also believe that you should let weapons from act 1 to be used in act 2. I get tired of getting absolutely dogged around by the enemy after I’ve done so much damage to them, only to get hit like 2 times for almost half my health. The enemy damage should be reduced for it to be accurate and balanced instead of them doing half of my 4730 health. Please make the practice mode completely customizable while playing instead of us having to back all the out of it just to change what enemy and weapon we go up against.

Thank in advance if you do make this happen.
Great game, keep up the good work.

I’ve been playing shadow fight games for a few years now (shadow fight 2 being my favorite) and this game is literally shadow fight 2 but 95% better! i’ve been playing for less then an hour and i already love it, good job Nekki!!

It’s a better updated continuation of shadow fight 2. And they didn’t change how magic works or how your attacks or anything like that works and they kept all the characters definitely 5 stars

Good game I’m a fan of the shadow fight series and have been for awhile but the attack patterns and death animations are exact same as shadow fight 2 wake up we have modern tech now so use those animations are the whole reason I don’t play shadow fight 2 because they felt janky

I’ve been a big shadow fight fan since about 2013 and I’ve played every single game that is related to it. so far, this game takes things from shadow fight 2/1 and shadow fight 4. The style, design, features, all combined. I am very glad this game has released since shadow fight is my childhood.

I’m so happy there is another shadow fight game. Having henchmen for the main bosses guard makes the game a lot more challenging and i love that. Having new upgrade system, perks, having all types of weaponry unlocked just have to get them out of pack instead of beating a boss to get them is a lot better, a upgraded inventory system, and a great illustration i believe this game is great!

It’s a good game I’ve been playing shadow fight games for years and I’m glad to see yall are still making them but I’ll be honest the games chapters are all in survival it’s a good thing but you should at least make it so we can recover at least some health at the beginning of each round other than that good game no issues with it

I think this is a great way to continue on shadow fights series, I know they got super experimental with the other games but this one holds the same charm as shadow fight 2 did

by Deet Deeter

Nekki I love this new shadow fight but there is a bug when you watch an add it crashes the game so can you please fix this glitch.

by @Rizzan

This game isn’t like shadow fight 2 or 3 and it is unique while showing the story and what happened between shadow fight 2 and 3 would highly recommend 👍🏻

by Where Are The Free Summons?

This game is pretty good, I’ll give the devs that. But when I first played the game, when I watched a ad I got nothing after it and still for some reason, anytime I close and reopen the game, shadow clips into the shadow bag and starts humping it. When it does that, I can’t do any fights. Pls fix these issues. (Btw typical I gave five stars so people can see this.)

Skullywater/vakz/buzzkiller we’re my past only usernames on shadow fight I still play shadow fight 2,3 but till I beat this app not playing shadow fight 3

by Powlok

Already like guys work on shadow fight 2 and seeing this game makes me happy knowing there good games out there y’all best at making games and for this one down too lore wise and gameplay wise is great I seen for game in while

by I Think I Have Good Opinions

This game is great first of all on the Shadow Fight 2 when use your energy you get to play at max 10 rounds on like one rounds also it’s less ads. The movement is still really good and fun and I do like the mechanic of these power ups like the tiger to do more damage or the bears die for HP. It’s much more creative and I do prefer over Shadow Fight 2, I would get if I could I hope people play this game and realize it’s greatness.
