Step up. Set your camera. Swing, and now BOWL - for real. Shadow Cricket - You Are Him! is a revolutionary mobile cricket game where your actual body movement controls the game. No tap batting. No swipe bowling. You get up, take stance, and physically play. This is cricket built around real physical action. Master your skills offline, and then take them online to compete against the world! NEW: SHADOW BOWLING (Offline Modes) • Bowl with your body: Play offline matches and tournaments using real bowling motions. Mimic running on the spot for your run-up to generate pace, then rotate your arm to deliver the ball! • Advanced Bowling Physics: Your arm’s tilt at the release point controls the line, and your wrist height controls the length. MASSIVE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER • Public Matchmaking: Enter competitive match rooms, wager your coins, and play winner-takes-all games against players worldwide! (Note: Online bowling currently uses classic touch controls for competitive balance). • Build Your Dream Team: Collect, unlock, and manage a roster of fictional player cards to dominate online matches. • Play With Friends: Create private rooms, generate a unique code, and invite your friends for a 1v1 showdown. • Global Leaderboards: Prove you’re the best. Climb the weekly ranks to see where you stand in your Country, League, and the World. • Daily Rewards & Player Profile: Keep your daily streak alive, upgrade your team in the shop, and track your all-time stats. WHAT MAKES SHADOW CRICKET DIFFERENT? • Real gameplay — use your actual cricket shot and bowling movements to play. • Your body is the controller — no buttons or swipes for core gameplay. • Camera-based ML detection — place your phone, get in frame, and play. Optional on-screen camera feed lets you watch your own form! • Advanced physics engine — every shot and delivery is shaped by how you move. • Skill-based — timing, footing, power, control, and arm-rotation matter! CLASSIC OFFLINE MODES & PRACTICE • Practice Nets: NEW! Jump into the nets to practice your batting and bowling. Includes built-in "How To" video tutorials. • Quick Play: Offline matches for chasing targets or defending totals. • Campaign: Stage-based progression mode. Shadow Cricket reads the quality of your movement, not just a simple gesture. Better swings lead to better shots, and a better run-up leads to a lethal delivery. If you’ve ever wanted a cricket game that feels immersive, physical, and authentic, Shadow Cricket is built for that. You are not pressing buttons. You are playing the game. Shadow Cricket - You Are Him!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MetaShot at none against Shadow Cricket AI's shown. MetaShot also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 65%). Shadow Cricket AI's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MetaShot sells 23 one-off in-app purchases and Shadow Cricket AI sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shadow Cricket AI holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of MetaShot's written reviews are positive against 65% of Shadow Cricket AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MetaShot ships an update weekly, Shadow Cricket AI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
