My first encounter with Shadow fight was when the first shadow fight was released, as a huge fighting game fan myself I spend many years loving the fighting game and play many tournaments with The king of fighters classic,
So seeing a fighting game that has been talked about everywhere shadow fight 1 got my attention I have to say it was a mediocre game with extreme balance issues, but now it's been years the shadow fight become a franchise with multiple entries but with that, the game is still a horrible fighting game,
With the shadow fight 4 PVP I wanted to play this game for a long time and I finally did play this trash cash grab I have to say a lot of how horrible this game is and how ready the developers are for player money,
This series has never been balanced but still, it was an OK game to play and enjoy from time to time for me most of the time I downloaded and don't play it for weeks and then delete it after playing for some hours because of how much time this game requires,
This game is just like almost every android game designed in a way to steal money from people in return for a mediocre game, anyone spends money to feel like a champion but in reality, they are idiots who don't know how to even play fight games,
+++++ BROKEN HEROS +++++
The biggest show of this game is the hero system and how every hero is different than the others, the design of the heroes is nothing impressive or unique, as a fighting game fan I have seen many games with their hero design which makes the game stand out and look unique and differences, Mortal combat Tekken is just an example,
With a hero comes all the problems this game has with balancing, many of the heroes are just broken, and there are many ways to play unfairly by using the same move again and again, and the worse thing is if a new play is trying online pvp and they will end up against someone who already paid real money and using hero with the move set that new player will never understand, and I want to understand this hero, well then unlock the hero and how do you unlock u might ask, well with REAL MONEY,
the game modes are all part of forcing players to pay money also, there is a normal fight where you will keep fighting random enemies and your rank will go up, as you progress more and more ur rank will be higher and you will face a more powerful enemy, by powerful I don't mean skill enemy but the enemy with higher level then you and also enemy health is higher and they have a move set that you don't have,
So the game is not a fighting game that requires skill but it's a game that REAL MONEY,
+++++ UPGRADING HEROS +++++
The upgrade system is broken into collecting cards and using coins to upgrade the hero u want to upgrade, you collect cards by playing a rank match or other mods it's also random which hero card you collect, so basically u don't have a choice which hero u want to upgrade, and also the same progress bar that you fill up by playing rank math will reward you with cards and coins and this is the worse thing about this game upgrade system,
For example, I have 30 cards for a hero that I don't upgrade and I want cards for the hero I want to upgrade but since I don't have any freedom unless I pay real money to get the card I want,
It's just a horrible cash-grab system that makes you play the same match for months and u can't even get 2 levels up with the character you like to play with but first, you need to spend much more time to unlock that character which is just bullshit, pay real money and feel like a Champion or play free and spend year's of this trash game, not to mention paying won't make u immortal either when if you pay to get strong there will always be something new and more powerful then you with every new update and new events so basically it's like a job that requires you to pay to be on top or else you west the amount you paid already because you are not strong enough,
It's a horrible game with good graphics only so please don't west your time you can play a much better game and spend your time batted with the free game than wasting on something like this, also don't support this kind of game by paying your hard earn money, my job is to honestly talk about games and make awareness to people who are spending money on this kind of games,

Why did it suck? Monthly review: Shadow fight 4: Arena!
Oh boy, what an experience THIS game was. (Just some backstop here, ignore this paragraph if you want to read the review) I was really hopeful for it, I've been a fan of Shadow fight since 2's original launch. Shadow fight 2 was and still is the best Shadow fight game in the series, and probably the only one I suggest playing. When I heard, "Shadow fight 4 will be a pvp based game" I was STOKED, I was a decently good player and it was interesting to hear that I could 1v1 my friend!

Shadow fight is awesome it is unique even the gameplay isn't just a normal fighting game but it has a lot of ads (compared to non ad games) something that to me is ignorable but at the same time the game would be *so better* withouth it, another thing is that it's so slow to complete the chapters, playing championiships and this little "side quests" make the game a little repetitive. Basically, the game looks enjoyable and for some hours it is, but i can't play this game for more than one week withouth getting so tired of it.

The classic that stood up with time, And this reminds us of some good games we forgot existed
The only correct way to play Shadow Fight 2 is by playing Special Edition one. No grind, no ads, no micro transactions, and very normal difficulty you can enjoy, as how every game supposed to be.
Visually the game is so distinct there is no way you mistook this game for something else. No need amazing graphics to make a game that really timeless. Plus, this runs on anything as far as it has a display.

You've said it all and more, my best friend was a huge fan of Shadow Fight until we played this game and we hated it. I'd be happy if another studio made something that's looks better than this and plays like an actual fighting game instead of this piece of garbage meant to get you to open your pockets. Why Nekki? Why?

Author likedthe answer is actually very simple.. making game like this is very simple and lazy, they don't have to balance the heros or make the game competitive, unlike the usual fighting game where every character is balanced so it's all up to the player skills, this is the reason why RPG games created this AI system centuries ago, in the front you are playing just a game but in the background everything will be calculated how much damage you have how much armor you have how much defense you have these are all things in the background being considered by AI, In the AI decide if you are going to win or lose, it the simplest answer is that if you have higher care you will win That's a concept of RPG game, and in a good RPG game that's not a problem at all, but this garbage is not RPG game it's a fighting game, Pay to win fighting game which requires u to pay to be strong..
