Best mobile game ever
Mon Jan 29 2024 TheWeirdo2.0I’ve been playing this game since I was 6 or 7 on my Kindle fire. I’ve gotten the best stuff, max upgraded everything. However, there was once a time, many years ago where I was on the final boss fight against Titan, but I could never beat him. I left the game for a while. When I came back on my old phone, I had to restart my progress. I was heartbroken, but I carried on, and got back to where I had gone before, but it took too long, I guess I just didn’t play enough because it had already been 2 years. I got a new phone, my current one, and had to restart again because it didn’t save my progress. But again, I decided I’d get back to where I was. The best part is, I’m not even upset that I have to restart, I love this game so much that just the journey to the final fight is one that I can play over and over again. So I’m day 3 into my third journey. I’ve already beaten all of Hermits bodyguards and beaten Lynx in eclipse.
Anyway, please get this game, it’s not a huge power drain like a lot of other games, it gives you many many hours of fun with a healthy and good progression with armor and weapons. As well as a very high skill ceiling. Also, I’ve never spent a cent on this game, and I’m still having tons of fun. Also, if you get this game, watch the gem videos for like 10 gems a day, it’s so worth it when there’s a really good sale in the shop.
This should be a perfect 5
Sun Aug 20 2017 DoinkermanShadow Fight 2 is by far my favorite mobile game of all time. I have maxed out gear and levels and have the tempest rage legendary enchantment and a medium enchantment on all of my gear. I've been reading the reviews of the game, and people are saying that the CPU spamming ranged attacks is making the game hard to play. I can say from personal experience that this is not something that is broken or even something that puts you at a disadvantage. The controls are designed so that you can avoid these attacks and take advantage of the opening they create to start a chain of your own. Additionally, there are no issues with moves not activating as I saw in another review. In the 3+ years I had this game I never experienced any issues with the controls at all. It is very stable and will run smoothly and without bugs even on my 5S. It does require a ton of grinding to complete the game, but although I did spend $7 on microtransactions in appreciation of Nekki and the game, it is certainly possible to complete without spending any money. That being said, SF3 isn't too far off now and I don't think it is feasible to complete the game before it comes out. I would wait for that to come out or play this game casually for practice because the controls will have the same basic concept.
Good game, but encounters not so much
Sat Oct 20 2018 SimpleSaltThe game is overall good, but the one complaint I have is the encounter mechanic where you reach a certain range of levels and somebody approaches and challenges you. To start this off, the enemy is WAY too hard. Typically impossible, insane if lucky, and it’s one of those “If you get hit more than 3-4 times, you’re dead but you have to hit me at least 40 times, and also, you still lose 1/5 of your health if you block” impossible. There is an option where you can go to the shop and buy yourself a new weapon or armor to help you out, but every time I didn’t have any money to do anything so I don’t see much point in that. If you upgraded your equipments frequently, you might win, but if you’re one of those people that save up their money to upgrade your weapon to the next level without repeating survival mode more than 10 times, you’re not in luck. And every time you try to walk away after you lost, May will stop you telling not to, giving you a reason. When this happened to me in act 6, she said that I can’t let anyone have a doubt in my identity, which made me feel like I was screwing up the entire storyline and made me feel guilty, even though I tried my best using all the gems I had to retry the battle. And also you need to realize that you can’t fight these guys again. No chance; you lose, you will never get the exclusive weapon, no retry after you walk away. I think how y’all designed the encounter mechanic is pretty unfair.
Genius.
Sat Oct 14 2017 Rapscallion SchematicThis is another brilliant mobile game from the folks at Nekki. They knocked my socks off with Vector years ago so I was happy to give Shadow Fight a try. I was immediately enamoured with the visual style. But I soon found myself frustrated with the controls. The virtual joystick took some getting used to, as did the timing of action moves. It ain't like Street Fighter, where you can rip off a sequence of fast punches or kicks with quick button taps. Here, once an action move has been initiated, its animation sequence is slower and more deliberate and cannot be interrupted; if you swing your blades too soon you can be left going through the motions while your adversary pummels you with a more precisely timed attack. As I said, even though the gameplay took me a long while to get comfortable with I'm glad to have kept trying, as I can now progress through the game at a rate that allows me to unlock new weapons, armor, and levels faster than the speed of a glacier. You need to win fights to get money...keep losing and you won't be upgrading your fighter...yada yada yada. Long rating short--"If you're into anything that elicits emotion and visceral synapse responsiveness, do yourself a favor and download this game now."

My Problems With This Game
Tue Apr 28 2020 Erick510I used to like this game a lot but nowadays, I can see how flawed this game actually is. You run out of energy too quickly, you rarely get any gems without sitting through grueling ads, the final boss is just cheap (I’ve attempted over 30 times with all of my equipment upgraded to max and with enchantments), this game encourages to do survival multiple times and burn out your energy until you barely have enough money to afford the weapons and armor you need (you don’t even earn that much money from defeating all the enemies, it just becomes a frustratingly boring task), and you rarely ever have enough gems to spend on weapons if you don’t watch the ads. Also, if you do any of the gem tasks, you don’t even earn any gems. I’ve done multiple surveys and tried out multiple apps and I didn’t receive any gems, it just ended up being a big waste of time. Oh, and one last thing, what reason was there to remove ascension entirely? I was planning on waiting until I got to max level to get the monk set (which the game doesn’t even tell you that it’s best to wait until you were max level so you don’t have to constantly upgrade it, same when fighting the demons and receiving their weapons) but that plan has been cancelled entirely. It’s a shame, I really actually like the combat system, cutscenes, and soundtrack but this game just seems very greedy when playing the free version.
The best game ever but needs to fix bugs immediately!!
Sun Sep 15 2024 UniquehippoThis game is plagued by frustrating bugs that need urgent attention. One major issue is the non-functional Eclipse mode, which is supposed to offer a challenging gameplay experience but currently remains inaccessible. Furthermore, players are experiencing a game-breaking bug where their playable character becomes completely unresponsive and dead when facing the Titan, rendering progress impossible. These issues, along with others, severely impact the gameplay experience and hinder player progress. The developers need to address these bugs promptly, providing a patch to fix the Eclipse mode and ensure that characters remain functional during critical gameplay moments, like boss fights. By doing so, they can restore the game's reputation and provide a seamless experience for their dedicated player base.
Despite the bugs, I still enjoy playing Shadow Fight 2! The game's unique blend of martial arts and RPG elements is captivating. For players who have completed the game, it would be exciting to see additional exclusive content added, such as new challenges, special modes, or even a "master's path" with unique rewards. Would you like to see features like these added to the game, providing an extra layer of depth and replayability for dedicated players?
Nostalgic.
Fri Jun 16 2023 Drift0924I’ve played this game once about 5 years ago. I gave up because i couldn’t beat Hermit (the 2nd Boss Fight the player must fight to proceed with the story). Redownloading this game and beating Hermit, plus many more during my recent attempts at playing this game was so satisfying to experience. However, i did notice a change i wish hadn’t happened. Spoiler Alert: Once you beat the first Boss fight (Lynx) and some body guards for the 2nd boss fight (Hermit), you would unlock this mode where all your opponents were much harder to beat in exchange for higher rewards. Nowadays, if you beat the Bosses, you have to pay real money to buy the weapons they used. But 5 years ago during the time i played this game, you could’ve fought the bosses for their weapons and it was a hard, yet satisfying duel that rewarded you with the losers weapon and reassurance to know the first time you won wasn’t a fluke. It is sad how they removed that from this game, but nonetheless, I still enjoy it. Id say this is a game about patience because you need energy bars for every fight that you partake in. Plus, you need to save up money to upgrade your equipment and that can take some time. All in all, this game has brought me so many great memories, is pretty fun to play, and is a great challenge.
Consistent crashing, double charge for one transaction, and rewards being rejected...
Mon Oct 09 2017 Et1xI don’t know if the manufacturers of this game check these reviews, but here goes... So, I really like this game, 5 start material. I'm willing to give it a five, but I've encountered too many errors. First off, I purchased the lowest offer for the gems, offering 150 gems or so on discount for $2.99. I was charged twice (without approval), but only received the 150 gems. I have 4k streaming speed internet and my os is up to date, so receiving in game pop up prompts displaying “check internet connection" I know I need to turn the game off because it's just not going to function properly for the next 30 minutes or so. Which, I know, eventually resulted in this double transaction. Numerous occasions I’ve been ranked first in raids and upon finishing, it loads for a long time and informs me that “your prize was rejected. Please try again”. I hate leaving negative reviews on things I like due to discrepancies, but at the rate these errors are occurring, I had to reach out. The people I’ve recommended this game to have since uninstalled it due to similar issues, so I know it’s not my phone. Fix your system crashes and offer some compensation, or the 2 star rating will remain as is, not that it’s going to hurt your ratings much due to popularity. I just hope you care enough about your users to honor this request. Thanks for anything you could do.
The game doesn’t work.
Sun Jun 25 2023 WhygenaThe final boss, titan, is impossible to kill. Unblockable attacks that hit forwards and backgrounds across the map, ability to hit while on the floor, one shot kills, guaranteed life steal which is a full heal on every hit, regen when he gets hit for most of his hp, infinite magic, fastest move in the game, constant rag dolls which he can hit during, unflinchable, and disables all of your enchantments after you win one round. Mythical enchantments are no longer obtainable as the multiplayer has been down for some time, no weapon deals enough damage in the allotted time to kill him if he’s fighting back.
Titan isn’t the only problem. Advertisements after every screen switch or fight, massive input delay on ducking, massive amounts of misinterpretation on the games account, jumps as flips, crouches as rolls, etc. the game is a grind fest unless you pay to win which is obviously the only purpose of this game. If there was already infinite energy, significantly less ads, and titan had a 50% health reduction and loss of unflinchable and god mode every 10 seconds instead of 5 and loss of healing, maybe the game might be alright if a little dragged out. Upgrades should be 50% cheaper as well, it takes 18 survival wins to upgrade armor fully depending on where you are. The game is terrible in every aspect and is designed to be unplayable in certain ways unless you have infinite patience, bluestacks with an adblocker, and throw money at the developers.
Gates of shadow is retarded
Thu Jul 14 2022 Pruitt GamingWhat kind of STUPID developers decided to make that level. The fact that they made the good weapons over 200 gems then expect me to beat 6 bosses with challenge/survival against them? They already have dumb over powered modifiers and magic while I rarely have anything. Take y’all pay to win developers back to the drawing board and make a better game!!!! This is disappointing smh. Also why can’t I just fight the demons straight up instead of challenges because I HATE the random equipment challenge, kicks only challenge, one of the challenges even take my magic away. PLEASE NEKKI just make the game fair or fix the level into where it’s not challenges but just survival with extended health regeneration when you beat a boss. 1/5 stars until you make the game fair and catered to the players instead of the AI and demons.
P.S. Demons modifiers and magic is too overpowered and unfair which should be nerf. For example, Wasp’s stupid off the wall attack that is rarely dodge-able, shogun’s cowardice move that his henchmen attack you outta nowhere, he already has damage absorption spam so he shouldn’t have that henchman magic and finally Hermit’s lighting bolts. Honestly what the heck y’all were thinking when y’all made that attack, I can barely counter it and get hit by his swords when I try to stop it,heck my range or magic weapon can’t even hit him so???? Disappointing sorry excuse for a game😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎👎👎
