Shadow Fight 4: Arena for Negative User Reviews
✓ As a long term Nellie fanPlaying many of the shadow fight games in the past this game was kinda like tossed out there. Reading other reviews I see that the team has been “balancing” this game and putting work into it for quite sometime, but I do have to say this game does not compete with ShadowFight3 with you option to equip different armor and weapons. I kinda miss the freedom of deciding what weapon I should use and getting different armors were more exciting then the game choosing it for you, I do feel like this is where the effort was not put in and it does seem kinda lazy all respect for the work and time put in by Developers. It looks like there was way more work and time put into ShadowFight3 and makes me feel the experience. Playing ShadowFight4 I don’t get the same joy I feel like I’m stuck or I have to spend money. Reading many reviews complaining about paying to win and the how updates keep making this game worse I cannot say anything about the updates but the paying the win is kinda excessive. As a long term fan ShadowFight3 over 4 any day, these reviews are trying to tell you 💔 In conclusion I’m not bashing the Developers but my honest thought is I feel like ShadowFight4 was released to ring in as much money as possible but as in ShadowFight3 I get the fun Nekki experience I’m sure all the fans really miss. Im don’t with Nikki after I have deleted ShadowFight3 for this money hungry game 💔💔.Version: 1.7.0
✓ SpammingThe game has good combat, but at the moment spamming attacks with certain heroes is still very viable, and it feels like a cheap victory.Version: 1.1.11
✓ Pay to winPay to win bull crap. Don’t bother downloading this game if you’re not willing to pump thousands of dollars into these greedy devs pockets. They really have the nerve to say that your in app purchases don’t effect the outcome of fights when the two free characters don’t even slightly compare to the invulnerable Demi-god characters available for cash. Save yourself the headache and skip this game..Version: 1.8.1
✓ If you don’t pay, you can’t playSh’t game in general, they tryna make you pay to win the match. They are smart to make the matches unbalanced, so if you wanna win those players who paid, your gonna have to pay too. But I didn’t pay a dollar, instead, I deleted this sh’t game👎.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Really poor.Really wanted to like this game but it’s so disappointing. First off the characters just don’t react quickly enough and when you’re cornered you may as well give up as you can’t fight back. Also trying to get into your Shadow Energy is often difficult and you frequently get hit and then lose that chance. Secondly no one at Nekki seems to know anything about anatomy as an arm with a sword at the end is not as long as an arm with a long weapon (as used by Shang). Opponents are able to strike from further away than our characters and also kick from greater distances too. Thirdly unless you’re willing to buy a Fight Pass and pay £9.99 a month the rewards for winning fights are pitiful. This makes it hard to be able to level up your heroes and in the main, it’s the common ones that seem to get the most hero cards, which is again really frustrating. When you fight an AÍ opponent they are faster and seem to ignore any attacks you try and make. Even with characters at level 7 and a reasonable amount of experience this makes no difference. Also something else really frustrating is losing points when a fight is lost. It takes so long to build up any in the first place and moves you ever further away from the target you’re trying to reach. Not a patch on Shadow Fight 3..Version: 1.1.10
✓ Camper is one the biggest problem of the gameI really enjoy the fighting of this game but passive players also known as campers are ruining the game. This game will be 5 stars game if you guys solve the campers issues. I think that to delete this problem, the game should add a overheating block button.Version: 1.8.1
✓ 3 IS INFINITY TIMES BETTER!!!!I can’t begin to explain how much of a mess this game is mabey because I’m comparing it to 3 I can write a short novel on all the ways 4 Didn’t need to happen it’s like Sinatra trying to sing after losing his voice box it’s no where near the same game, it’s like when they remake movies terribly or you can’t believe how atrocious the second or third part is just atrocious, stop now 3 is my all time favourite iPhone game I beg you stop ruining the legacy bow out gracefully. Thanks a billion times for 2 and 3 they’re perfect..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Downgrade from shadow warrior 3It’s not worth your time unless your a whale with hundreds of dollars, even then shadow warrior 3 was better in every way, but it’s unplayable now with the amount of adds in between all actions you do, in conclusion, I’ve lost fate with this franchise and won’t spent a second on it ever again. (Also the blatant ai responding to reviews is another exemple of trashy developers).Version: 1.6.6
✓ FailureJust deleted the app. Sad to see the lack of effort being out in the game after such a great series. Highly unbalanced characters. Unable to go past rank 13 unless you start forking over money to use said op characters. Opponents will have bad connection resulting in a technical defeat on your end which doesn’t make sense. You have to buy gems to enter tournaments just for you to be kicked out after 2 losses so you gotta pay for more gems. Half the time you lose in game is bc of spam characters that you literally can’t do anything about expect surrender the match to get it over with and move to the next matching hoping it’ll be a better match, but SIKE. All in all terrible game, made me feel like I wasted every second playing this game and left me with a unsavory feeling that’ll probably have me cursing every single member of the Devs who created this until I forgive or forget this game ever existed..Version: 1.7.12
✓ Not able to playI recently moved from India to Canada and now I cannot find any ranked matches. It has been more than a week I am in contact with their support but they are helping. They just keep saying you can’t change your server without providing and solution. I think they want me to stop playing or buy a new phone to play the game again. I have never seen a company so restrictive and not helpful to their users..Version: 1.8.20
✓ Sarge not matching in ranked fightsI am not getting online fights on sarge character showing no internet connection. But it’s also available with all other characters at any time. I can’t build up if my sarge is not getting a fight.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Good game but pvp is unbalancedThe characters and hyper armor that some have are incredibly stupid, and character like that can just turtle and spam counters after blocking your attack, online (when it’s an actual player and not a bot) is boring since it’s the same game. Turtle and don’t move. And then there’s hero’s, I’m fine with this hero thing but atleast make it easier to earn these hero’s without having to spend money cause it is extremely rare. And make a chest system aswell where we get chest from winning matches instead of just 30 gold. NEW OPINION: Okay once you start learning this game becomes pretty easy but you can see the problems. Characters end up having insane fast attacks to where you can’t recover with a counter attack, and after 3300 you only get like 5 trophies and it is impossible to level up higher. So please make it easier to level up higher in ranks.Version: 1.3.20
✓ Shadow Fight 2The game graphics itself are alright, however the game has connection issues in which the recipient of the connection issue has the advantage if they do not time out. Other than game connection issues, the game itself is pay to win. This is an issue for new players in the game as it means they encounter epic or legendary hero’s early on that have a higher chance of winning. There is also the problem with characters having more health than other characters, leaving less room for the other player to make mistakes and recover. Overall the game itself is good however the matchmaking system could be tweaked to help newer and even veteran players have more balanced fights..Version: 1.8.20
✓ Devs don’t care + money grabIt’s pretty obvious by now that the devs want to get away with making the least amount of new content possible, and the characters are NOT balanced. All characters who have a ranged attack just spam range and run away, and all close-range users just use the same dual hammer guy with hyper armor on every move. After the game being out for so long and still being so medium, it’s obvious is not meant to be any more than a cash grab. Oh yeah, it’s p2w too..Version: 1.8.10
✓ Pay to win gameEasy to win when the opponents are in the same level and equipments. But things changed quickly when I got ranked up and play with all purchased heros (I played the old samurai dude). Their health is much more, faster, and create a lot more damage for each hit. Skills won't be matter anymore, as long as you know the basics. Thought it would be great but no it's not. I remember an old game call gunbound and we have a special server for fair fights, in which all upgrades and advantages from better weapon or accessories were eliminated. We are all in original levels and rely on our skills and abilities. Please consider it. Thanks..Version: 1.8.20
✓ Shadow fight arenaThe game is fun but it’s very annoying playing most of the time I was good at the game so I was level 6 going against level 8s at a high division so that was annoying and also people spam the same moves and the developer has not don’t anything about it there’s a character with fast attack that go through a block so they can hold you on a wall the whole game there’s is a lot they need to fix for it to be a good game, the grab is unblock able it is the most stupid thing ever you can’t do anything against it The game is still terrible everyone just blocks the whole game and rolls to you and grabs and you can not do anything about it the game, the Devs won’t do anything but just keep it broken like this and that’s why this game is absolutely terrible, came back after some time to see if what I said about the game was true and it is when you go against high player level they just back up the whole game and slam spam you the whole game the mechanics is absolute trash.Version: 1.4.10
✓ BrokenWon’t load any arena or tournament, please fix this, I’ve spent so much money on your game.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Don’t play this game :)This game is absolutely shocking, what a shame they had to ruin shadow fight with all these multiplayer modes and ranking system, really pointless. i lost 17 games due to the system putting me up against people 100 trophies higher or they had 700 more health. i have deleted this game now, i didn’t enjoy playing it one bit, i found a lot of bugs during my time playing this game, they did not respond, they just closed the conversation. nice one guys keep making bad games :). (they replied i still say not good enough, fix the game).Version: 1.8.1
✓ Personal opinion on the gameFirst I would like to start with something positive. The graphics and mechanics are good. Now with the personal experience, I’ve played each and every game throughout my life of course all in different devices and accounts that I have personally lost, but that brings no relevance at all except for one little thing I noticed after the 2nd game it shows a lot that the game has a horrible pay to win aspect to it which is really disappointing giving that in my personal opinion it used to be a great game with an amazing amount of potential. I read some of the reviews but most of them are from people literally admitting to pay for in game items to provide them with an advantage of course. It is not a skill issue no matter the combos I connect on the opponents that I was paired with the damage was little to none, in the other side couple hits and I was at 30% health which is in my opinion the most disappointing and unfair thing you guys could have come up with..Version: 1.8.10
✓ It supposed to be 5 starI couldn’t find any player matches in the last 3 days, I waited for 10 minutes with no players around. And the AI opponent was too OP, with ridiculers high on defences..Version: 1.1.11
✓ Review (Itachi99)It’s like you need the best wifi to play pvp. My wifi is 5G linked with Telstra and I’m playing right next to my router and the Searching Time to get into ranked and tournament matches is just ridiculous. It’s like once you reach rank 8 on any character it’s a long wait to get into another pvp fight 👎🏼 but man I gotta say some of the moves on these characters are pretty crazy 👍🏼🔥.Version: 1.3.1
✓ ErrorWon’t let me load into the game just says connection error can it connect retry but I have solid connection ?.Version: 1.3.10
✓ PvP is unplayableTl;dr, campers everywhere ruining the game Everyone camps in the corner slowing the pace of the game to a halt. You can keep telling me to “get better at the game,” but if the most effective strategy on the market is to hide in the corner, something is wrong with the balancing. There are characters that can deal with campers, except those characters are the ones campers play. The most fun I had in pvp is fighting someone who actively engage in combat rather than evading combat entirely. Against a skilled opponent, even defeat can be satisfying. Except 8/10 of the players I face use tactics that does not involve skills in timing, range management, countering, movement, and every developable skill under the sun. One suggestion to fix this is by implementing a diminishing return of trophies depending on time left in a round, with timeout leading to a tie. This will slow trophy progression on campers, encouraging a more aggressive play style. Alternatively, a tie breaker could be implemented where when the timer ends, both players get block break..Version: 1.7.12
✓ Match system is worthlessCurrent version is totally hopeless, just played again to see what the situation is like, 4/5 matches are with players who have at least twice my health. I did win a couple of them but if it takes me 15 hits to win it takes my opponent 5, absolutely ridiculous. And you call this matching system 🤣. I cannot put up pictures here otherwise I have a bunch of screenshots which I’ll put up somewhere and link it to you..Version: 1.7.12
✓ UnbalancedNerf wukong.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Pls balance the game,Pls nerf , jack bulwark, sarge and emperor like the three most op characters in the game am at like 6k points and am n experienced player and the only characters that has ever 1v3 me is them with players that literally stand one place with bulwark while I throw everything at him and all I get is smacked he is literally an impenetrable fortress of defense 🤦🏾♂️ sarge is mind blowing on how op he is like this dude attacks most of the time when blocked push him back out of grabbing range and his ⬆️ hit is really fast and his back hit is op not to mention that he has hardened on most of theses attacks and it’s way too easy to use shadow energy and go invincible then grab you and u Better hope you not low enough on health so it’s a one shot grab like sarge more than anything is op... emperor just needs to take less health for himself when he hits u that’s all he gets way too much health from damaging u while being a whole shadow monster that gets block break critical damage and has op shadow attacks 🤷🏾♂️... like seriously as you go in rank u see more of these three in line ups more than any characters especially sarge like it’s not even fare fighting him it’s a given to take down a character and a half if not all three... pls do something about them if not just him.Version: 1.1.11
✓ NiceNice game.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Don't get the game!This game sucks! First they put you through a tutorial and you start to like the game. After the tutorial they make you go in a game, the reason why it sucks is that there is no way to block or doge manually your opponent just keeps hitting you and you can't do anything about it. Don't get this game and by the way developers, please add a doge and block button, then maybe I would play it.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Waste of timeDon’t start playing this game! It is a complete waste of time. You will end up playing for 12 hours without getting any money to upgrade your hero, you won’t be able to get new talents, you won’t be able to buy chests, you won’t be able to get a new hero. When they release an ‘event’ you will have to play that event more than 10 times in order to buy anything in the shop. This would mean more than 3’4 hours straight. This game is the ultimate joke. Completely waste of time..Version: 1.7.15
✓ Great but priceyThis is up there with the best fighting games I’ve played, I love the physics and look of the game and pretty much everything about the actual game but… wayyyyy too hard on the pay to win, if you don’t give them 20 bucks a month it kinda feels like your playing a demo. You level up 5% as fast as someone who spends money, it’ll take you triple the time to unlock things and new people, it’s just way too pay to win and i haven’t run into anyone yet I can’t beat but I can say it’s hard to move up and try new people and unlock things. Only get this if you have a few dollars to spend I guess or it’ll get boring after a while since you won’t unlock anything new..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Whale BaitPositives first - Looks great, feels good to play, interesting character skills, semi-immersive story. Now negatives You start with two mediocre characters and grinding day after day leads to more grinding. There is zero balance in regards to purchased characters, you will find yourself absolutely stomped if you choose not to pay your way through the game. If you have money burning a hole in your wallet have fun, if not it’s an absolute waste of your time. It’s a shame the developers have characters available to purchase leading to a good ol’ pay to win, if it were only cosmetics it’d be fine. Instead of cosmetics my character upgraded 4 levels above my opponent has its health obliterated because the balance is catered so heavily to those who pay..Version: 1.8.1
✓ The game has become pay to winIt may have over 4.5 stars now but that was cause people just remember when it launched and no im not some person that hangs on nostalgia. The shard system have ruined it and campers. If you wanna prove that you are better than someone in this game well you cant. You may be better but their credit card is stronger.Version: 1.4.21
✓ Pay 2 winThis game is unfair to beginners who aren’t willing to pay for gems or buy characters and passes. Many of the characters have unfair disadvantages such as being able to resurrect and you’ll meet players like this many times. The only way to compete is to pay for something just as good or hope you don’t meet someone with a build that can’t be beaten with starting characters..Version: 1.3.20
✓ No server?I love this game but u guys literally cut me off for sending feedbacks..I have pretty strong internet connection but can’t open the game as it say no server.. I can Play other games like pubg and all.. what is wrong?.Version: 1.4.20
✓ Don’t botherAs a long-time fan of this game, it hurts to see where the game is now compared to what it was a couple years ago. Every update feels like a punch in the gut, with each one inevitably adding broken features, breaking the pvp balancing, or completely halting hero progression (the recent shard update, for example). The game is in a terrible spot, now being completely and utterly pay to win. It is almost entirely impossible to level up character talents because of the shard lootbox system, so the only viable way of progressing is by spending money. Each shard chest is roughly $10 and gives a completely random shard. Most of the time, a single talent will require MULTIPLE shards to obtain, and there are 7 per character. It would cost nothing short of HUNDREDS of dollars to max out a singular character (out of roughly 20) with this system. The greedy devs/publishers have turned a perfectly decent f2p fighting game into a horrible gacha amalgamation. Do not support Nekki. Do not download this game. Don’t spend a single dime on this scam..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Once you get to 3400 it’s boring.The game is fun, I’ve been a fan since shadow fight 2. The fighting is fun and thrilling, playing against friends is something I’ve waited for in shadow fight since they first introduced raids in shadow fight 2. The variety of characters and fighting styles to you have to counter is great, of course you can’t decide which character you really use since the way to level them up is chests with random cards and your character might just get lucky. Iron Clad, Azuma and Jin are the absolute worst to fight, the players behind them play like scared children and will roll away from you from the very beginning. Once I made it to 3400 the rewards stop coming, it shows this weird shadow creature I was hoping to fight for getting to the 3400 rank and up but sadly you do not fight it. Instead you fight players who roll away, wait for you to roll to them, grapple you, low hit, and then roll away again. It’s really annoying and sad that you can win playing like such a little tuna fish. Hopefully there’s going to be an update for a more incentive, so far once you get to 3400, the rewards for moving up are gone, the wait time to find someone to fight is increased ten fold! And when you do fight them, they roll away from you, might as well fight the AI which defeats the whole purpose of the game. My fighter name is Tainted Velvet it was once Hohenhiem looking forward to fighting y’all!.Version: 0.4.20.2
✓ Worst game I have ever playedThis is a horrible addition to the shadow fight game, literally the moment someone hits you once they will just spam the same thing with their pay to win hero’s and their is nothing you can do each and every time I log onto this game I quite a game later.Version: 1.3.20
✓ It’s doesn’t have to be paid to win if you don’t want itThe game is fun but the “ randomness “ of the roulette table is a joke. It will not allow a person to progress. All you get is 250 gold or 10 jewels probably 97% of the time. When you take one of those ridiculous surveys to get very hard to come by jewels the game glitches on you. Play the game for fun but don’t expect to go very far unless you get out your CC.Version: 1.8.10
✓ BadNo skill based match making the characters are unbalanced it’s ptw and it’s not even like the old games it’s basically trash.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Fun Gameplay, Multiplayer is FakeFirst of all, I’ve enjoyed the game so far. I was a fan of shadow 2 back in the day and was excited to see this new release from Nekki. The gameplay feels good and the visuals are pretty nice. I especially liked how the power-ups in the story mode add variety. That’s about it. I’m disappointed with the multiplayer. I realized pretty soon that the opponents in ranked mode were AI. You can turn off Wi-Fi or even close and reopen the game after a few minutes and the match continues. I wouldn’t mind, but it seems dishonest to use fake “searching for match” screens and emotes, and then expecting people to spend money on the game. Also, it’s super boring after a while because the AI opponents are all easy (at least up to level 5 where I am now). It was fun for a while, but I have no desire to spend money on this game..Version: 1.8.10
✓ DecentChange the way resources are downloaded. No one wants to wait for a 1.9 gb update as soon as they open up a new game. Have it be downloaded in the App Store, I genuinely struggle to see how the game’s alternative benefits consumers. It took me weeks to get round to waiting for the download and I uninstalled it twice before. Change it..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Matchfixing is worstBest part of the game is just graphics…old strategy to force player to go for premium subscription…dont subscribe just play whatever character you have…dont waste money and time.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Beautiful but non responsive at timesI am fine with characters responding slow. I can think of it due to poor network or high ping rate. I haven’t checked for these yet. But when characters only move without actually fighting is frustrating. I mean you make a move + punch action but the character just moves closer to the opponent to get hit easily. Wow! That’s heights of QA..Version: 1.1.11
✓ The most p2w game I’ve ever seenP2w.Version: 1.5.10
✓ Why go backwards?Been playing Shadow fight since SF2 and the games got better and better since then until y’all decided to make SF4, just like shadow fight 3 without all the customization from it which feels like a step backwards in deciding how the game play changes, SF4 is a good game in this day and age but if you look back at previous SF games it lost its story mode significantly. But most importantly why cut down the “flames of courage” down to 20 and increased the minutes it takes to get 1 to 14 minutes. Trying to make it more PvP is a booty move for the new players tryin to get into the game and play with the AI, plus you can get a way better feel of the game when playing against the AI in story mode. Playing PvP is fun and all but why take away the fire thumbs down to that, curious as to what the idea behind that was. If anything y’all should of increased it to 40-50 not 20.Version: 1.7.15
✓ Dear Nekki,I've been playing since 2020. I broke my phone recently and had to start the game completely anew. I have 1800 trophies now and I constantly come across people who have 2100 or even 2300. They all have 10-12 levels of account and 11-12 levels of characters, and I have 8 levels of account and 8 levels of all characters. Why is that? These people are campers and I do not know how to deal with it. And here's another thing: why did you add this system with shards for leveling up the character?! Because of this system, it is impossible to fight normally in this game without donating. It was better in the past when 1 ability was given for every second level. I don't even have any characters who have more than 2 abilities right now. I, as an old player, tell you: the game is becoming unplayable and soon a lot of people will leave it. Toxic community, bad selection of players, campers, spammers and a system of shards force you to leave this game..Version: 1.7.12
✓ A Worsening FranchiseYour franchise is getting worse. Talent tree is a distraction from the fact that the true customizations of Shadow Fight 2 is gone. Fixed heroes, rolled fragments, skins? What happened to the days when everyone learnt combos and chose their weapons to fit their playstyles. Even complaints are all about nerfing and buffing heroes with fixed looks and skillsets. Now we have to pvp in skilled based matchmaking against real players in Events, so much worse than SF3. You’re starting to smell like Overwatch and Dungeon Hunter 5..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Poor constructionPlayers can avoid fights , repetitive movements make the game play tedious and uncompetitive , limited selection of characters or equipment compared to previous versions . All in all not well thought out.Version: 0.4.22
✓ I like this game… bad gameplay thoughFirstly, I am sorry that I am giving your game a low rating,it is just that I am pressing attack and it takes a while to carry out the attack on my screen… I havea new iPad Pro and I wold gladly give you a suggestion. Firstly, can you create a game mode where you can team up with friends against others? And also can you decrease the waiting time after attack? Thank you Jamie.Version: 1.2.25
✓ Beware! Headaches Await.I stopped playing this game over a year ago cause the issues, downloaded it back just cause and I’m deleting it again. Like everyone else here. Great graphics, and fun to play, blah blah. I wont even mention p2w as so many reviews alr do. My issue is the gameplay and ofc p2w dang near. When fighting against the AI, because you will due to players leaving from such intense p2w, you will rage. I repeat. You WILL rage. The ai will literally cancel mid move to perfectly counter your attack. And somehow they always know what ur gonna do and counter perfectly. Also, the controls for mobile have you do a heavy attack when trying to get close to grapple, leaving u wide open. I also believe mobile cross plays with system, which enables those players way more options for control. Nekki pls disable crossplay or at least have the option to toggle it off. Like lots here ive been a shadow fight fan going on 10 yrs, but this is even more enfuriating than fighting lynx on shadow fight 2 for the first time. Between the control mishaps, the crossplay and p2w, after reaching rank 9 or 10, it’s just better to give it up. 😔💔.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Sarge and Marcus meta 😎Sarge and Marcus mains are the meta, after you reach 2500 ranked points you’re gonna see a lot of heavy attack spam and super armour spam. The game also decides you to put you with players with higher account levels than you, (account levels how does that have anything to do with skill) I know what you thinking, but each time your account levels up you get 10% stats for all hero’s so if you are account level 6 and there 7 or 8 they can be 10% 20% stronger than you. You know what that means? you got to try 2x harder to defeat them in ranked. At first it’s easy but soon you will see the Marcus mains who spam his heavy attack which gives him super armour and a lot of range to hit you with little to no cool down, Then we have Sarge aka spammers favourite you will see these players bait you with his attacks which super armour and then corner you by the wall (why don’t you grab him) the grabs work 90% of the time and sometimes attempting a grab will for some reason cancel your blocking which makes you unable to move kicking is basically useless unless you want to cancel your block and get smacked up more in the corner of the screen. This game needs a couple nerfs for some characters wouldn’t say it’s a good game though..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Poor gameThis game is pay to win, you recieve the same 2 characters from every draw and having to pay to buy better characters.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Nice looking butFirst of all, it's a really unbalanced game literally in everything including gameplay and in game economy. Secondly, it's overloading my iPhone 12pro in most unbalanced characters, start freezing and disconnecting from most unbalanced fights..Version: 1.6.3
✓ This game is so bad 👎This is why: 1: you don’t add any new things every single update is the same 2: you don’t listen to the community at all 3: I can tell just by looking at the game that you don’t put any effort on it the maps and the osts is the same from shadow fight 3 you just took it from shadow fight 3 and put in this game without changing anything 4: the game is so unbalanced 5: it’s pay to win (honestly, I feel like the only way to get a new character is just by paying money, and upgrading the character too is just so hard to do with out pay money) 6: the matchmaking is so unfair (I always get players that’s higher than me is character level or lower then me) and also in the events and challenges ( l’m top 43% and always play against top 5%, top 3% and even top 1% players I’m not saying it’s just me but sometimes I also play against unranked player it mines blow 50%) _ I hope you guys listen to my opinion and work on the game to make it better because it’s bad right now “Like adding new things every update” “design new maps and make new osts” “balance the characters in the game” “fixing the matchmaking” Finally I wish you guys put more effort into this game and make it better and I wish the best for this game.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Thought it would be better than last shadow fight gameI thought this would be better than the last shadow fight, where it was pay to win and you would get stun locked until you died, and at first it seemed like they fixed all that, combat was good, not ridiculously hard to the point it was impossible, but hard enough that you felt you could beat it if you tried. The issue is that the moment I put in the 5 star review after a popup, I was suddenly facing people with far better characters and people who had played the game much more than me, I was getting stun locked EVERY SINGLE GAME, it was no longer a matter of skill, it was simply I couldn’t get a chance to even press a single button. All in all, I really had high hopes for this game as a continuation of the series, of which I’ve been a fan of since the original shadow fight, but sadly the developers seem to have gotten caught up in the pay to win scheme and forgone their players, disabling any casual players from getting to far into the game. I would not recommend this game for casual or mid skill level players.Version: 1.7.15
✓ This is why russian devs will never be lovedToo aggressive monetisation (pay2win) and a horrible net-code. If the opponent has connection issues, you also suffer their lag. Disrupting your own connection becomes a legitimate strategy to harm your opponent. Whatever the developers reply to this review is a lie. Yes, even cosmetics like coloured weapons give a combat advantage. Yes, my connection is perfect and I have had it reviewed and confirmed by my provider. The game may be popular but it will never get recognition and leave any impact or be remembered. Nekki is just another russian game developer and russian game dev is doomed..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Could be an amazing game.This game is plagued with issues, just to name a few there is unfair matchmaking you either get someone who’s never played the game before or some move spammer who has almost max Characters. Another issue is the pay to win, you can pay to get chests that contain hero card and money you can upgrade with, this wouldn’t be an issue of someone with level 3 characters couldn’t meet someone with level 8 characters. There’s no true challenge as the balance in this game is non existent, they tried to put together characters that are good for countering other but in reality if a move spammer has you in a corner there’s not much you can do to get out. Lastly the controls don’t do the move you want them to, you’ll go do step back just to have your character doing a back attack without you pressing the punch button. To the developers this isn’t an attack on y’all I truly enjoy the game and hope it does well, I just would like these issues can be fixed or reworked if possible. Thank you for your time.Version: 1.2.25.8
✓ Unbalanced and brokenEvery match is lags making it impossible to react to your opponent and the directional inputs hardly work (I know it’s not my wife cause I just got a new 5g router and nothing else in my house lags). This problem is exacerbated by the games weak performance. For example: an enemy will start a combo and you try to roll away, instead of rolling however your character will sometimes just take a single step or just not move at all. This wouldn’t be much a problem if the the technical difficulties showed up after a match that lagged but it doesn’t. It only ever shows up when I win and experienced little to know bugs. Aside from that the game is horribly unbalanced. Characters like Serge and Marcus can just spam strong attacks non stop and not get punished for it. Again this wouldn’t be a problem if other characters can spam combos but they can’t. Or perhaps add something to their kit that prevents this i.e. Hong joo has great combos but once his meter is full you can’t pull off a combo until you unleash a special attack so why is it that these other two characters can spam with impunity. Yuka only needs to land one combo and 3/4 of your health is gone. If you want a more fair and balanced experience you’re better off only playing against the ai. I wanna fight other players but I’m constantly faced with technical difficulties and balancing issues making the game not worth playing..Version: 0.4.20.2
✓ This game is heavily pay to winThis game pins you against players that are obviously higher than you and you lose an abnormal amount of trophies when you lose. Most of these losses consist of people camping and being generally weaker than the opposing team. I cannot understand how my best character being a level 8 Kibo has to fight against a level 11 Emperor or any other character that is higher than you. Make ranked gameplay so that each team is the same level, this showcases actual skill instead of being forced to lose because the opposing team has spent hundreds on this game..Version: 1.7.12
✓ Do something about this !!!Seriously, do something about all the server disconnection problems because its ridiculous how frustrating it is. And also do something about the unfair matching process because it plainly just sucks. There’s simply no point in fighting a opponent with twice your health. It’s just a frigging waste of time. I surrender more than half the match because of this. Your game sucks. Do something about it damn it!.Version: 1.8.20
✓ Matchmaking not fairNice game, but the only disagreement is the matchmaking. Almost never fair, I fight against people with the same raking, but more level than me. It makes a big difference, and I am not interessed in the game anymore because of that..Version: 1.8.20
✓ This gameIt sucks honestly, I thought I was gonna come into the game like the old ones and get to customize my personal character and then fight my way to the top but no, pay this pay that 16$ here 6$ there and you get to win, screw your skill if you have one of the good characters you’ll win every time..Version: 1.7.15
✓ OkThe game is fairly good however it has soo many issues . For starters certain characters who have unbreakable moves are overpowered especially those that have high speed, as soon as they get you in the corner you can’t jump nor escape because they just spam attacks that are too fast. Another thing is that the characters get stuck in animations and so those characters who have quick combo moves it is impossible to stop or escape. There are far too many spammers and so unless you spend so much on the game and upgrade and get the best characters you’ll get stuck at a certain point in arena unable to progress because people who have bought and upgraded there characters just spam attacks that pretty much one hit you. At this rate there is no skill based matchmaking involved because those people just spam and don’t actually have any coordination whatsoever.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Unsupportive and discouraging for new playersOnly three characters in the first few stages, while it comes down to pure skill, it becomes boring quicker than any other game as it is literally Ling vs Ling 90% of the time..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Pay to winThe style and graphics are great, the game looks and feels amazing, way better than shadow fight 3. However my issues are with buying your way to victory. There are so many characters that aren’t balanced and can be easily bought from the store and for us free-to-play players just get kicked in the balls. Like Kibo for example, she can be easily bought for 2-3$ and her shadow ability does so much damage (which you can’t dodge by the way). And the emperor as another example, once he turns into his shadow monster he can’t be brought back from it and it’s so aggravating because the monster deals bleed and does extra damage. My point is, the game itself isn’t that terrible but the store is a joke, and the characters need some reworking to make this more balanced. Because in shadow fight 3 you could buy stuff but that game is more on the story than PvP. Nekki you brought us good games in the past please fix this, I know you can..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Un-balancedThe swing speeds in every hero is actually ridiculous. Ranked isn't even ranked please balance your game out.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Problematic DownloadingI downloaded the game a long time ago but haven’t updated it yet, I have enough storage and it still says I don’t have enough space, so then I deleted it and tried to download it again from the app store, but it is being problematic and I’m stuck on the loading circle thing right after I tap on the download button, what can I do?.Version: 1.5.10
✓ Still needs improvementAbout a year or two ago I rated this game 1 star due to the complete abomination it was. Most of the issues highlighted were fixed aside from the poor matchmaking and P2W. I’m aware its been brought to NEKKI’s attention but they claim that the opponents skill and equipment is meant to be similar to yours. Whilst that is true (to an extent), by the time I reached arena III I began versing opponents at least 2 XP levels higher. They might have had the same level heroes but the 20% higher attributes they receive from the higher level makes it extremely difficult to overcome even a single round. You should always be matched against a player YOUR experience level. No exceptions. About the P2W, I’m aware the company needs to make money. I fully understand that. But $30 characters are simply overpowered and fairly overpriced. A F2P player such as myself is subsequently going to get smashed because their pay to win character thumps me with their super smash bros matrix mario abilities. You should be charging significantly less to purchase them, and please nerf the paid characters..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Camping/constantly backing awayThis used to be a fun a entertaining game for me to play when I have free time. Now it is the most infuriating thing to play because of the constant never ending camping and constant backsteppimg that has overtaken almost all of the players in this game. This game rewards this play style so much that there is almost no incentive to not play like this. Every time I have tried to close the distance and get in for attacks I’m just bombarded with projectiles and thrown for free damage when I get close. I have been trying to play this game for a very long time but it’s just not fun anymore. There is no reward worth dealing with all the super try hards just camping at the opposite end of the screen. If this one exploit of the game was fixed I could play it again but at this point there is no reason to try and fight this. Almost every fight I have done has ended in losses because of this play style. I would suggest making a feature where the shadow mind pushes people together when they spend to much time backing away. Like have a specific zone at the max distance away from you can be for your opponent where the shadow mind can appear and shove the players together that deals no damage and doesn’t get either player an advantage or make the far end to very slight damage after a certain point of time has passed..Version: 1.7.1
✓ DeceptivePay to win.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Background advert sound’s constantly playingSo this is my most played game for sure on my phone, completed shadow fight 2 and 3 and have extensively played this one. Never had too much of a problem, of course there are issue in match ups from time to time, my only complaint is that the most recent update has advert sound effects constantly playing in the background which has made listening to audio que’s in combat impossible and rendered all sound in the game undefinable due to the constant loud sounds from some advert in the background. While I’m here another point id like to mention is why would you reduce the amount of courage you can use per day, I understand you want more ads to be watched but this is very very lame and I amongst many of my fellow regulars would like this changed back. Hope to see changes soon cus I can’t play in this current background advert state..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Stupid playersIn the begging I used to love this game and been playing a lot but as u getting forward players becoming stupid. They not even playing they just running away from u for the hole game and just trying to shot u that all the fight me it’s just becomes really boring. I hope creators can somehow solve this little problem so we can enjoy fighting instead of just running after each other and wait for the time to finish..Version: 1.2.25.8
✓ FIX!!!!!!!!!!Fix the dam game aint connecting to any servers!!!!!.Version: 1.2.10
✓ Shameless Pay 2 WinOh what’s that you don’t want to spend money. Then you get stuck with the 2 free characters. Good luck.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Pay to winFun game very fun, but there’s a major problem in the fact that it’s horribly imbalanced. The game I played was fun at first, but when I got to the 2nd arena there were more characters that are only available in chests, or reaching further arenas, and I was stuck with the 1st 2 characters you receive, getting beat by characters that had the following; way longer range (infinite in some cases or so far that it might as well have been, and a character with a mace where the entire chain does damage), faster attack speed (found out by doing same attacks at the same time and getting destroyed in the time difference, which was always in their favor, wether kicks or spinning attacks it didn’t matter, the unlockable characters were always faster), and one instance of a character being unable to be jumped over, and even if I managed to find a time to move under them they’d still get keep me inside of a corner, because they’d kick, miss and still hit me because the actual instance where the attack “hits” is long enough to miss, and still hit..Version: 1.3.20
✓ To much downloadsThere is way to much downloading I just want try the game shadow fight 3 is really good so I wanted try the game.Version: 1.7.0
✓ BadThe game has become pay to win and matchmaking is really worst.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Bad connection ruins the gameSo many issues with connections. I lost too many games due to lags and sudden frame rate drops. Uninstalled..Version: 0.4.22
✓ Good game but…Your ranking and skill based matchmaking is trash, you don’t put players against each other, based on the rank or if they’re evenly matched against each other, it’s based on if you have a similar amount of trophies, because of this, I’ve been up against people who has thousands more HP then me and they one shot me with a single forward attack In fact I’ve lost the last five games because each opponent has had at least 1000 more and higher entire account level. Please fix this..Version: 1.7.12
✓ It’s evolving, just backwardsI’ve played every shadow fight game save for shadow fight 1, but I can confidently say that this one feels by far the worst. The input lag is unbearable, balancing is actually non-existent between the factions and the game is more pay to win than clash of clans. If you’re a fan of the previous shadow fight games, this is a literal kick in the balls..Version: 1.8.20
✓ TalentsGreat game, I’ve played this for a while and after the new update, it’s almost impossible to gain talents, I’ve got 3 or 4 players that are level 10 with 2 talents, it’s extremely hard to play against players with 4+ talents. There’s no instructions or ways that I can see to obtain more talents. Super frustrating.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Worst shadow fight to dateBy far the worst shadow fight to date maximizing micro transactions and a complete lack of customization, this once amazing series has gone down the toilet.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Honestly the worst pay to win game out thereThe pay to win is to intense.Version: 1.8.20
✓ Shadow fight arena honest reviewIt’s so bad, I can’t give you a 0 so amma give a 1. This game bruah how is it an online game but you can’t even play it online? All it says Is connection problems. Bruh how strong do you need the internet to be for you play on this game? They never address this internet thing and it’s irritating. Those fake reviews talking bout it’s good game bluh bluh bluh it isn’t. I’m sick and tired of playing with AIs because I can’t connect to real people online . Fix the internet problem whoever is in charge. We are sick and tired…. If it means optimising some settings so that we can all connect peacefully to the internet please do so ..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Annoying, but goodI love shadow fight arena, it’s a great game but it’s not a bug or anything it’s just when you loose a ranked battle your points go down. I was at unlocking Sarge but I lost like 20 battles and I have lost hope on getting emperor, it’s just an annoying thing, it’s made me not wanna play. But amazing game Keep it up 👍.Version: 1.5.10
✓ P2w trapAt first you think it’s a. Competitive action game, the. You realize your opponents have 4000HP while you have 800, cuz you didn’t pay enough. And it takes you 100 hit to beat them while they will one shot you with anything. I paid almost $100 and it’s nothing compared to the others. So if you are willing to invest go ahead and have fun one shooting people..Version: 1.8.10
✓ Love/hate.Like the graphics, the character models, the individual fighting styles. But could you please do something to tone down the difficulty? I play shadow fight 3 and it’s unbelievably easy compared to this. When playing other people online I’m lucky to win 3 out of 10 fights. And the events are just ridiculous. The normal event is difficult enough, I think I’ve only ever won 2 out of the 5 fights. But the seasonal events are just stupid. I just played one and It cost like 50 gems just to enter it and it was as if the opponent was telepathic and would counter everything I did perfectly and I literally couldn’t do anything against them. You also need to give away more free stuff. Because on no.3 you get quite a lot of free gems and whatnot, but on this you get virtually nothing. You also need to do something to stop people camping in online matches, it’s so annoying..Version: 1.8.1
✓ ReviewCool game but now that I’m a certain level I just don’t match up with anyone.Version: 1.4.10
✓ SucksGame balance sucks! You can easy get higher lvl enemy in the arena mode.Version: 1.8.20
✓ YES but NO !!Dear Nekki, first off I want to start by thanking all the people who worked together to create this game. By far the best combat game and most realistic, I just have one issue. For the ShadowFight3, I noticed there was an “online” mode but not really online. A lot of people had a thing or two to say about it, shadowfight4 was advertised as a PvP however I have yet to come across it. I also realized the game was updated into having the player use existing characters in the game, without the option to create your own. Amazing new skills and fighting abilities. However the greatest downfall in this game is how they took away the option to equip or unequip weapons. So you are forced to use a character who doesn’t have weapons and only use those abilities. What kind of confusion is this? We have been nagging for years for the same thing, shadowfight3 BUT ONLINE. . We were willing to pay, but this game isn’t heading in the right direction. And it’s sad to see it become like this, shadowfight4 should’ve not been released. It does not come close to shadowfight3 !! I bet money that a lot of the players would say the same. . Please fix this if possible, breaks my heart to see my favorite game get ruined slowly. I play this more than I spend time on my Xbox . . I have friends who play, and are also obsessed with it. NEKKI !!! Please fix this headache of a problem. Thanks :).Version: 1.5.2
✓ Mechanism SucksVery POOR server for connection. Always quit out the game while playing. I Almost WIN! And I’m punished for losing game. That’s so ridiculous. Can’t going on with such a garbage server and setting..Version: 1.8.20
✓ Fix your gameYour ranking system is bad, you put too many advanced player with new player why would someone with 2000 hp be fighting someone with 1000 hp. There are also characters that have too much buff that don’t die when their health finishes or blow up and damage you after you’ve clearly won the match . It’s not fair at all.Version: 1.7.12
✓ TrashThis game is so bad I invited my friend didn’t even get Marcus your game is shocking give me Marcus.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Love this game, but it has problemsI’ve been playing Shadowfight for a little while now and I absolutely love the game. The combat is just so much fun and learning every character in their play styles is so rewarding. However a few problems. Some characters are pay to play, and they’re really good. Like really good, makes balancing a slight problem. Lag can be the biggest enemy of any match costing me so far several. I have indeed purchased the fight pass, and it’s very annoying how often the game will also sometimes just steal rewards from me. I’m writing this on the start of August, and already 2 of my rewards have just been stolen from me. I’ll freshly hit rank 5-6 and I can claim the free rewards, but my fight pass reward is already claimed?? This is by far my greatest issue with this game. If I’m investing money into your fight pass, I should be getting all my rewards, especially considering the fact I am still playing for them. Once I see this problem resolved I will raise my score. But until then, as long as I’m not getting all the rewards I paid for, this game will not see a higher score from me..Version: 1.2.2
✓ MatchmakingIt’s a great game, it really is. Except for the fact that the matchmaking for the game is trash which defeats the entire purpose. I currently have Kate and ling and I’m a new player. I’m already going against people who have so much more hp than me and legendary heroes who are super op like King Of legion, Itu, etc, and they are only winning bc they are camping or spamming with them. This game starts off good but it quickly becomes super unfair. Forget skill, this game just matters if u have good heroes there’s barely any skill to it..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Good but pay to winI said what I said, half the people my level bought characters that are just spam click. Fix that and it would be perfect.Version: 1.8.20
✓ EventsNot fair matchmaking in events.Version: 1.7.15
✓ Connection errorI was in game and played 15 matches and all of a sudden connection error. I tried wifi and also 4G and nothing works. Also I tried to delete the game and reinstall it and the same problem occurred. The game is great but I can’t play it..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Balance issuesThis game is a lot of fun but some characters really need some balance changing, especially Kate as she is way too strong and gives no opportunities to attack..Version: 1.3.20
✓ Pay to play trashThe balance between characters is off the charts they start you off with basic characters like any game but as soon as you get to the multiplayer part most people have a whole variety of characters they can choose from that are way better than what you’re given in terms of hp amount, strength of attacks, and speed or Dps. The only way to really get access to these characters is buy paying real money for shards in hopes you’ll even get the character you want, the in game farming for shards is almost pointless and the matchmaking throws you in with people who have the same amount of trophies as you not the same rank. So if you’re a rank 3 like I was you’re getting matched with people 2-3x your level just because you have the same amount of trophies. When the game first came out everything was pretty balanced you equipped what ever weapon you wanted and you fought skill for skill not spamming the same fast attack and long range peck the whole fight. And the fact you have your employees hyping this trash should be embarrassing.Version: 1.7.15
✓ WhyGreat game. But keeps saying my connection is slow when it’s not! Very annoying. Matched takes longer to load. And sometimes when a match is finished it just doesn’t go into the rewards and remains blank.Version: 1.7.12
✓ Worst game out of shadow fight game everThe sensitivity is off and lagging. The buttons do not synchronize correctly at all! I tell the character to duck. Takes three times to even do a slight duck which takes 3 seconds just about and in a match, that’s a lot of time. I tell the character to use shadow energy- 5 times in a row, the character just stands there and does nothing, I hit or attack and the bots or people just block ans even sometimes when I make contact no damage. Like the body part passes right through them or weapon and doesn’t do anything at all. Plus spending over 50 got me nowhere on this game as this is a match up and not ranking like this says this is. There’s no ranking when you on unfair terms. Worst game yet. No wonder not many players played this game compared to all the other versions. 3k players vs 100k+ players in Shadow Fight 3? Not to mention the lack of players mean lack of matchups or people even active. Do not play, a waste of time money, and sanity not worth downloading..Version: 1.1.10
✓ Fix your game!!!!Don’t get me wrong I would’ve done a five star if the game didn’t have a no server connection. Literally can’t play it and I have subscriptions on it. Please fix this developers because I’m missing out right now on the new season and new prizes. Very disappointed. Would’ve given it 5 stars but I literally can’t play the game come on guys fix this please it’s happened way too often idk if it’s only me or if it’s happening to other people.Version: 1.1.11
✓ Support teamUnfortunately I don’t think I can continue to play this game due to [Evident] alternate effects on playing system, aside from the [Neglect] on Obviously evident technical errors and that can be fortunately witnessed to every player with a level 8 sarge. There are input digressions spotted in game showing the sync between the button pads and fighter is visibly slowed inspire if a non-mutual effect that will only benefit the opponent in all matches. Also have evident points where attacks whether basic or AOE phase through opponents which is non-related to internet connection due to the architecture of the in game response to player damage generally. Also have reason to believe selective disabilities or (Handicapps) are placed on [selected] players, evidently. It Has been acknowledged that this is considered negligent, due to multiple updates foreshadowing errors listed above with additional marketing options for consistent profit, despite the lack of providing a “True in-game experience” that should be upheld through terms of service. Therefore purchase-able items should either be given in an alternate non-profit fashion or as additional after match rewards. This game is failing if you want to make another I suggest the issues listed above would be simple fix since it’s been neglected through multiple evidently profitable updates..Version: 1.3.2
✓ IPad mini 4 supportStill waiting for support on my current device.Version: 1.5.10
✓ This game gets way more pay to win every time I play.I have played way too many matches where my opponent was either a higher level or had higher level characters. This game also offers way too many deals that allow you to level up your character, which can make them stronger, and if you don’t pay, then you are stuck fighting the stronger players. The fighter pass is also too overpowered. Those who buy it, they get extra chests, money, and cosmetics. The money is good for upgrading characters, but players that don’t want to spend their money on them have to play multiple games just to be able to level up one character, and wait another few days to upgrade another character. The fighter pass chests give way more cards then the free chests, which makes it easier for people that pay to win every game they play. Please do something about this since I love this game and every other game that you make. I really want to enjoy it, but I cant seem to have that feel if I am losing every game to a player who pays for everything..Version: 0.4.20.2
✓ CampersI have two things to say 1) campers ruin this game 2) the Ai for practice spams harder than the players and it seems like it’s not meant for practice but for annoying players.Version: 1.2.20
