Shades: Shadow Fight Roguelike 12+

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!

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.

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.
