Shadow Slayer is a fun game that looks very stylish and fun, but there are hidden negative sides of the game. In this article we will talk about both good and bad sides of Shadow Slayer so you can decide if this is the right game for you.

PROS

1. Graphics and Animations Style. Game looks great, moveset is fun and reminds of Devil May Cry.

2. Unique character skillsets. At the moment there are 2 characters available each with their own unique skillset and gameplay style. You can switch between them midfight and use specific skills to counter enemies

3. Enemy design. You can meet human enemies, demons, monstera and even some giant bosses like in Dark Souls. Variety of enemies and their behavior adds to the game immersiveness.

CONS

1. Energy-gated content. Game is stage based and each stage cost certain amount of keys to enter. Keys recover over time or with watching an ad. It takes at least 15 minutes to accumulate enough keys to enter one stage.

2. Controls. Overall controls arent so bad, but some buttons are too small for playing a fast-paced game on the phone. Aeirial enemies are annoying and evading projectiles is hard.

3. Gear acquiring mechanics. Its Gacha. And the problem is that you cant farm resources or tickets to do more pulls. Only daily quests and store. So you are VERY limited in the power growth from gear. Also leveling gear up is a pain.

Verdict. Is Shadow Slayer Good?

Game is good, but progression and pacing is very slow. If you are ok with playing 3-5 fights at a time that takes about a minute - go for it. I advise to try the game at least to check out the game and enemy design, they look very cool and you can play first few chapters non-stop before you hit the wall. Enjoy this small journey and then decide what to do next.
