RAID: Shadow Legends 12+

Honest quick review

Hi, I am extremely new to this game and haven’t been playing it for long (at all). I found this game through an app that promotes other games by allowing users to test games and get paid for it. That app is called testerup (for reference). First of all, one second into the game and I could already tell the graphics and game style was going to impress me. Well, it did. First of all, the graphics were amazing, I love the art style of this game. It really makes you interested in playing it and investigating other amazing factors of the game. Also, the voice actors did an amazing job. The audio you hear in this mobile game sounds extremely similar to audio you’d hear on a pc game or another console. The recorded audio following the background story is intriguing! Nothing is confusing in this game, there is a description for everything. Lastly, the game surprisingly takes up little storage. You would expect a high quality game like this to take up the same amount of storage that genshin impact does (A LOT) but it only takes up a minor amount of space on your phone. This is very essential and would give gamers/users more motivation to keep this game on their phone. Interesting game, I hope that the consistency is the same throughout. May come back with more opinions after I’ve fully investigated but so far an amazing game that deserves a lot of recognition!!

Overall good , few minor issues but good

Overall the game delivers enough to consistently play whether your pay to win or free play , I personally wouldn’t ever put money into an app game but I’ve still managed to get enjoyment out of it
That being said there are some things that aren’t really possible without paying such as winning some of the tournements etc as the advantage is so far towards to pay to win players that theres not much point even bothering sometimes
But the only real ‘issue’ I’ve had is with the arena Your presented with about 10 players to choose to fight and with varying rewards from the lowest to highest in assuming thats based on some sort of difficulty? Or assumed difficulty relative to rank perhaps in not sure , but sometimes ( very rarely) Youl get a complete walk over 1 star champion and it’s a free win basically but others there no opinion for something in your range so you get completly battered by the opposing team and this will quite regularly happen before you’ve even had a chance to get one move
The power levels don’t make sense either I assumed this was an indication of how good they are but for example my team atm is about 120k power and it has beaten teams of that level and sometimes abit higher however sometimes Youl see a team with about 49k power and it wipe the floor with you and that makes me think what was the point in showing the power level then because it obviously didn’t mean anytning haha

Developer Response ,

Hi! The increasing complication of the Classic Arena occurred due to a number of objective reasons, and we are monitoring the current situation in both Arenas, analyzing the data, and will think of the possible changes in the matchmaking algorithm if it is necessary.

Don’t judge a game by micro transactions...

I rarely play games of this type but the hype and TV advertisement spots peaked my interest... so I downloaded and was prepared to hate it as the App Store highlighted the micro transactions and because of this I genuinely began to judge it straight away... however (yes there is a but) I was wrong.. the 1st thing to pop up when you load the game are adverts for promotional in app purchases but soon as you clear these the game lets you carry on and play uninterrupted which is nice... no in app videos (adverts) to access premium content, you just play.. while some players can opt to buy in app shard packs others can play freely and take pride in levelling up achieving goals and challenges and thusly rewarded in coin and shards! I am currently have several level 50 characters ranging from a couple of legendary characters and rares.. the game is involving to which ever level you wish.. while you can grind away and level up your characters using automatic combat mode you too can take control and change the course of destiny! I rarely give out 5 stars for a game but the content and graphics are beautiful and quite frankly a well balanced and developed game! I will be placing a note in depth review and breakdown on my website.. in the meantime a thanks to Plarium Global keep up the good work and I look forward to an update to the campaign mode!
