### 1/5 — Gutes Spiel schlechter Umgang

*2026-08-11*

Sowas geht gar nicht. Habe mit Gast Account gespielt und wurde jetzt gebannt wegen Verstoß gegen die Richtlinien. Ich habe nichts gemacht. Nicht gecheatet noch andere beleidigt. Habe nichts in den Chat geschrieben. Habe Monate dran gespielt um auf Stage 5000 zu kommen. Alles in Game erwirtschaftet und erspielt. Was man leicht nachverfolgen kann als Betreiber. Wegen diesem schmarrn alles weg. Monate umsonst gespielt. Sowas geht gar nicht

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Bitte kontaktiere uns über shadowknights@nstage.oqupie.com und teile uns ein paar weitere Details mit, damit wir dir weiterhelfen können. Vergiss nicht, den Spieltitel (Shadow Knights) in deiner E-Mail anzugeben 💌

### 5/5 — Pls Revive this game

*2026-07-09*

I love this game please bring updates again

### 4/5 — Wow

*2026-06-27, version 45*

This is a really fun game and I’ve only been playing for a few weeks and already it’s super amazing. It’s super fun and you can, just like it says, resurrect anyone to be your shadow soldier. The best part is you don’t even need to lift a finger, you can be afk and your character earns you gear, loot and other things. 

Developer PLEASE READ HERE:

There are a few things you could add though. Like for example when you kill an enemy there’s a chance to get their shadow permanently, like imagine killing a really hard enemy and then permanently adding them to your collection. Speaking of that, it’s very disappointing when you grave lots of shadows but only have 4 slots, so what if whenever you reach a new rank or a certain level, you gain an extra slot to add more shadows to your army. Imagine getting Dark King rank and having an unstoppable army of thousands of soldiers. One final thing is that you could add is you could get multiple of the same enemy. But only things like normal skeleton soldiers can be duplicated or else people would become way to op with an army of mythical’s. Overall a really fun game but still could get some more things to do. Hank you for reading!
