Hardcore Hack’n Slash Action-RPG. The must try game for any real hack and slash fan who already got bored with just mindlessly smashing buttons on the screen. Shadow hunter is an action-packed dark fantasy hack and slash game with an incredible combat system and awesome boss fights, assisted by a one of a kind character control mechanism and a perfect mix of RPG elements to make your adventure super immersive. A DARKENED, RUINED AND FULL OF SUFFERING SHADOW WORLD As the mortal world got invaded and destroyed by the horde of dark demons and shadow monsters, everything was covered in the darkness of hell and the constant insufferable noises that were the combination of the endless scream from those evils and the crying and mourning of the lucky few that manage to survive through this nightmare. The player will be a Shadow Hunter in this world, which is someone who got blessed by the Ancient One with a special power to fight off those dark demons. Through countless battles and obstacles, shadow hunters are destined to bring the light back to this mortal world. EPIC BOSS FIGHT Shadow Hunter's most exciting moments must be it's epic boss battle, in which the Hunters must defeat dark giant demons to collect their souls and advance to the darkest dungeon and the highest floor of the evil tower. Without a decent set of equipment and highly trained techniques, any player could easily get wrecked by those big bosses. However, the incredible feelings that players get from successfully overcoming those challenges will make it all worth it. Furthermore, those dark demon souls are the key to upgrade hundreds of shadow equipment and weapons, turning them from just a common warrior sword to a legendary hero's blade that would be worshiped by the generations to come. ENDLESS CHALLENGES Shadow Hunter will have 4+ different PVE sections with multiple difficulty modes and a PVP arena for players to explore and conquer. “Adventure” is where players start the game with. It may not be the most challenging part, but it is the most essential section in the game since you need to keep advancing through it to unlock further sections of the game. Once you have passed a certain dungeon level, you can unlock “Altar of the Darkness” , “Boss Mode” and “Clock Tower of Challenges”. Those are where the true test of skill and power happens. For our shadow hunters to overcome those challenges, mastering the fighting technique is a must, understanding the characteristics of each demon and preparing a suitable strategy is needed and strengthening the shadow equipment is a huge plus. At the end of the day, shadow hunters can not only liberate the mortal world from those dark demons but also can test their skills and mastery against other fellows of the shadow. MULTIPLE CHARACTERS TO PLAY AND ROLL Players will get to play as multiple different characters, each has its own unique skills, gameplay and assets. Each character is going to be a distinct way to play the game, a distinct approach to the strategy and the combat. KEY FEATURES Intense hack and slash combat. Epic Boss Fights. Multiple characters to play. Hundreds of equipment and weapons to loot and upgrade. 4+ PVE modes and PVP. Play anytime, anywhere even when offline.

A great deity created the world named Engardin, leaving four goliaths before her departure. The Goliaths abided by their different divine callings and upheld the order and flow of this world. Hence, the lives in Engardin reincarnated and multiplied. Humans were the last creation, and their ever-expanding ambitions led to a protracted war against the Goliaths. Engardin was engulfed in flames, until a huge explosion known as "The Razing" devastated the Holy Grounds of mankind and brought a swift end to the conflict. But the divine order was broken, and lives withered away. The age of mankind came to an end. The survivors of the conflict scattered across Engardin. Severed from the Well of Mankind and unable to reincarnate, they banded together to form settlements. Years have passed since this great cataclysm, and the remaining human settlements have been suddenly assaulted by mystic forces. Renee, a young amnesiac girl and student of Aros, was the lone survivor of the attack on her village. Determined to recover her forgotten memories and locate her lost mentor, she bids farewell to her destroyed village to embark on a journey that will inexplicably set into motion a series of events that will determine the fate of this new world.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Shadow Hunter at 4.8 against Afterimage Mobile's 4.3. Shadow Hunter also leads on ratings volume (320 vs 25) and price ($4.99 vs $5.99). Afterimage Mobile's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shadow Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadow Hunter has 320 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Shadow Hunter's written reviews are positive against 76% of Afterimage Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shadow Hunter ships an update monthly, Afterimage Mobile fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
