Shades: Shadow Fight Roguelike 12+

This trilogy never disappoints!

I definitely recommend downloading this game. It’s an aromatic classic in my book. Shadow fight 2 was my life as a kid. I still remember all the controls. I’m glad they kept the controls and fights mechanics the same. I’m also glad they kept the same dojo background music!! so nostalgic and it honestly is a great sound for the game. Continuations like this can go wrong in so many ways and it seems they’ve really taken everything that was good about the game, didn’t try to fix what wasn’t broken, and made it better, all at the same time. The only issue i have right now is this: the game is missing inputs during battle. I’m pressing punch and it doesn’t punch for just one sec, or i press the left arrow to back up and he doesn’t respond. it happens during battle and this is crucial to me being able to play my best. I can’t have muy character not responding to commands while the enemy isn’t missing a beat. Also, my character moves sluggish and slow at certain moments for some reason. I wouldn’t point it out except I noticed the enemies don’t move like that, so I thought it might be a bug. Until those two issues get fixed I can’t continue playing. I love Shadow Fight to the death of me and I want the game to be in tip top shape when I play… because I know I’m gonna DOMINATE! I play barehanded or with nunchucks. Shoutout to Nekki!

Great, but need some tweaks

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 shades 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 shades. Shadow fight doesn’t feel like shadow fight without spamming one move on an npc or prop😂

Shameful concealed cash grab

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.
