Leave a Review Shadow Fight 3
What’s the point?
I’ve played this game for hours, minutes at a time, and there is some real problems... I’ll start with the pros- good graphics, (mostly) responsive controls, a few different game types... now the cons- hit detection at times can be arbitrary, it sometimes registers multiple button presses as one long one ( this leads to you foolishly winding up for a huge move only to be interrupted by a jab following a combo) the biggest flaw to me is PROGRESSION. After completing all of the story mode campaigns, I get greeted with “more coming soon” oh come on, was it that hard to make the game so far? Time based objectives in “side missions” will “allow” you to play roughly 4-5 matches per day, which will upgrade your existing equipment or (rarely) grant you new abilities.. “battle” mode is a supposed pvp game where you play an online opponent, and here is where the problem lies. I have found it impossible to reach 1600 battle rating, because every time I get close, it puts me against people with a waaaaay higher rating with way better equipment than I have, so I slowly go up the ladder only to get knocked down 2 pegs. To make it worse, the game gives you “upgrades” in the form of cards, but I find they tend to only upgrade the crappiest gear I have, instead of the better stuff I have, and there is no way to sell the old crap I had when I started. For now, a 3 star review, will review better if they improve the progression, I might even spend real money on it.Show lesspubesandwich
I love this game, but it has a huge issue.
I’ll keep it short because nobody likes walls of text. This game is extremely fun, has great graphics and fantastic gameplay. The micro transactions aren’t forced on you at all, and on top of everything it actually has a story with fun bosses.
However, the weapon balancing is off-the-charts bad. It’s like Rock Paper Scissors, almost, except way worse, so ignore the analogy. I was getting annihilated in PvP by Spears when I had an axe, because I had no range. Then I unlocked a spear and I annihilated everyone else in PvP because I did have range (and a BS attack that basically guarantees a free hit). Now that my level is higher, I’m running into people with curved swords that can trap me in automatic 4-hit combos, then start over again because I have literally no time to attack, their attacks are just way too fast. The shadow abilities are a little ridiculous, too, simply for the fact they are 100% unable to be blocked.
Anyways, apologies for the wall of text after I said I wouldn’t give it. This game is genuinely very fun, and probably my favorite I have installed right now, this issue is just too big to ignore, and it makes many fights feel unfair, or at a disadvantage simply because of what you’ve earned from crates, which is a huge no-no. I would absolutely still recommend this game to anyone, but the developers NEED to fix the balancing.Show lessCurt E.
Great game, but has some issues.
First of all I would like to say that I genuinely enjoy playing this game. It’s a great way to kill some time when you’re bored. However, this game is not without it’s faults. They’re more noticeable once you get to about chapter 2 in campaign and rank 3 in live fights, which aren’t actually live fights. They are more similar to CATS duel system. They use a players name and equipment, but are A.I. controlled. The biggest problem I have with this game are that once you get to a certain point, it gets to difficult to progress. When you’re at the katana boss in chapter 2 of campaign and at about rank 800 in duels. The way the game works is that you have to play duels to get better equipment to beat the campaign missions which in turn give you the xp needed to unlock higher level equipment also earned from duels. One you get to the guy with the katana you have to play duels to beat him. The problem is that the duel system is designed to keep you in check. It’ll let you win some battles and then give you a guy you can’t beat without better equipment, which you cannot earn without winning duels. Perhaps if chest unlocks were about 3 times shorter you could get equipment faster, but as is your inventory fills with chests so you cannot get more.Show lessGijchbkb
The micro transactions aren’t that bad and here’s why
I played Shadow Fight 2 and comparing this one to the previous I would say it improves in some areas and in others it’s lacking. Some improvements I think is the combat. I personally like the different fighting styles with each faction. Some have strengths and their own weaknesses as well. One think that needs improvement on the the weapon balancing. I feel there are just some weapons that have combos that can be a bit much at times. I don’t really have a problem with the micro-transactions. I haven’t spend any real money into this game and I don’t plan on it. I think people are being harsh about them in this game. It’s a free game you guys. This is how they have to make money. I can’t relate to the people who say this game is pay to win. Of course there is gonna be that super duper legendary armor and weapons that you can only get through buying the card packs, but having the over powered armor sort of ruins the point of the game. Answer this question: If every person you fight is easy and not a challenge, then is the game still fun? I think most of you would say no it’s not. To the others, then you’re gonna have to spend money. In conclusion, this is a great game that shouldn’t be looked down upon for having micro transactions. If you think it’s bothering you that much then just play another free game.Show lessBaksheesh and
