I recommend getting the demon weapons right before facing Titan though, so if you follow what I said, it will be harder mid-game, but it will be totally worth it. I wish there was eclipse and underworld like the original version, so if you want those, I recommend playing the original game. ### 4/5 — ိ *2026-08-15, version 3.0.8* းန ### 3/5 — buggy update *2026-08-14, version 3.0.8* you can revisit old boss fights now but there is still no way to enchant and the menu after the update is buggy and hard to scroll through. you also cannot exit fights quitckly after getting downed anymore. also you still cant rematch titan. ### 4/5 — Не качает акты *2026-08-02, version 1.0.4* Прошел первый акт, еле как скачал файлы и ресурсы для второго акта, но при перезаходе просит вновь скачать данные, причём не качает нечего ### 4/5 — Bro this Titan guy lifesteals too much *2026-07-25, version 1.0.4* PLEASR NERF!!

Paid for this game btw. You finish off all the stuff around your level and get stuck grinding survival where I would need 40 rounds to get the last bit of the bar from 10-11. The game costs money but feels PTW and I’m not running 40 matches to get 1 lousy level. Don’t buy this. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-07-15, version 1.0.4* Brilliant game the all the different chapters and story make the game more interesting and fun also all the bosses are amazing ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2026-07-15* Sehr gut holt ruckt das es wird nicht nerven Wie der Standard Vision da kommen jedes Sekunde Werbung. Hier ist viel besser. ### 5/5 — Please just update this version of the game even just a little. *2026-07-12, version 1.0.4* Good game just hasn't need updated in SEVEN years ### 5/5 — Имба *2026-07-11, version 1.0.4* Топ ### 2/5 — Not the same at all *2026-07-11, version 1.0.4* Let me just say I’ve been playing sf2 since 2014 and I only just tried this version to see what it was about. The fighting is not even remotely the same, magic can be blocked, kunai can be blocked, the whole game is literally just a block simulator. It literally makes you buying magic useless. There is significantly less story than the original. No enchanting as well. The forward dash is literally useless because you still get hit. The only positive things about this game is the story is still the same, progression is quicker, and gems. But on the contrary why even have all those gyms if there’s no raids? I’m sorry but the sensei storyline is so dumb and has such lazy writing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — fix the balance *2026-08-22, version 3.0.8* can’t even block shurikens now, though enemies keep spamming them. taking an enemy down on EASY difficulty takes much more time than it did before. ### 1/5 — Limited Gameplay after main story *2026-08-21, version 3.0.8* After the main story there isn’t much to do. In the base game they have eclipse mode, underground bosses, online mode, etc but here there isn’t anything to do after bosses, tournament and challenge. Fix this ### 1/5 — change the difficulty of the battles *2026-08-19, version 3.0.8* The game used to be really cool; I’ve been playing it for about 10 years. Now an update has been released — and it’s kind of cool, with new awesome graphics and detail. But what completely killed my desire to keep playing and to keep the game downloaded on my phone is the new difficulty of the battles — it’s now impossible to play. If before you could beat each boss in 1–3 hours if you played actively, now you need a week of active play just to beat one boss, even on the easy difficulty. Opponents of any difficulty level knock weapons out of players’ hands with a “shock” almost on the first hit. To choose an easy‑normal fight, you now need not two rounds as before, but three, and it takes more time to eliminate them. Bosses are a whole different story — they still have a lot of skills, just like before, but now they use them every second. Now, to defeat the hermit while fully leveled up, I’ve played 7 fights (spoiler: I haven’t won even once) In short, it’s become IMPOSSIBLE to play; if they bring everything back to how it was before, I’ll start playing again, constantly resetting my achievements and experience. ### 1/5 — Wasp spam *2026-08-13, version 3.0.8* Wasp spam to much ### 1/5 — Не качается второй акт *2026-07-22, version 1.0.4* Верните деньги за то, что у вас не качается второй акт ### 1/5 — Не качает 2 акт *2026-07-15, version 1.0.4* Второй акт не качается полоска стоит на месте ### 1/5 — Idk *2026-07-13, version 1.0.4* Hey I thought we get hella gems? ### 1/5 — Act 2 can’t be downloaded. *2026-07-11, version 1.0.4* No updates, no reaction. Simple scam ### 1/5 — Desleal *2026-06-15* O boss final desse jogo é simplesmente Desleal, desisti não faz sentido algo ser feito tão descaradamente pra aumentar o tamanho do jogo, n existiu um oponente q chegue perto do titã ### 1/5 — Бесконечная загрузка *2026-06-14, version 1.0.4* Бесконечный вход в игру и бесконечная загрузка второго акта ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best mobile fighting game of all time *2026-08-23, version 3.0.8* nothing can compare I can say that ### 5/5 — Легенда детства *2026-08-22, version 3.0.8* Спасибо ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-21, version 3.0.8* I love this game <3 ### 5/5 — Goat *2026-08-19, version 3.0.8* Greatest game to ever do it ### 5/5 — Pls add eclips mode pls *2026-08-18, version 3.0.8* Really good game ### 5/5 — AWESOME *2026-08-03, version 1.0.4* I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this version of Shadow Fight 2 ### 5/5 — pretty fun *2026-08-02, version 1.0.4* not hard to learn the damn combos and definitely worth the 5 bucks for no adds and ya know, infinite energy. but yeah buy it and thank me later ### 5/5 — . *2026-07-31, version 1.0.4* I have been playing this game since I was in middle school ### 5/5 — Nostalgic and Beautiful *2026-07-25, version 1.0.4* Still a classic and still fun ### 5/5 — Shadow Fight 2 *2026-07-23* J’ai bien aimer le jeu mais il faudra ajouter le mode multijoueur et le mode éclipse --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
