HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (898 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription17%

17 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is undeniably and irrefutably clear that this game exists simply and purely to goad you into paying money and watching ads to beat it.
★★★★★ The “rest” matches aren't helpful to the game, since one of them are a shop, not for new skills mind you, but equipment that usually cost gems that you need to buy with real money.
★★★★★ Great game and all but once you get to the cleric I feel you either need to spend money to beat him or just constantly get knocked into ragdoll by his potions… also if time runs out and I have more health than the…
Too many ads13%

★★★★★ It is undeniably and irrefutably clear that this game exists simply and purely to goad you into paying money and watching ads to beat it.
★★★★★ Game is fun but rampant ads and monetization does slow things down.
★★★★★ The game is good & perfect, it's a leisure time game whenever I'm off work or on break but the ads are becoming so annoying
Bugs, things not working6%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Too many bugs the game literally broke and I can't play it anymore
★★★★★ It's not a skill issue it's the model they have set up to make you fail so unless you want to grind you literally have to pay to win.
★★★★★ AI in this game just always input reads every fight. Fights do not feel the same as Shadow Fight 2 where you can just combo. In this game it relies heavily on upgrades and shade upgrades to win. If you don't defeat the…
Lost data, sync, backup6%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I got this game because I love Nekki and all of your guys games but man its so unbearable I cant keep playing just to lose and keep upgrading my weapons and gear to finally barely beat the final fighter, it just ruins…
★★★★★ IAP slop on your screen every time you lose to the insanely aggressive AIs plaguing this game.
★★★★★ It's frustrating getting a run where I get lucky with my abilities, and I have maybe one or two legendary cards chosen, but then I get paired with one of the super AIs and suddenly I lose, even if I watch the ad to get…

★★★★★ It's not a skill issue it's the model they have set up to make you fail so unless you want to grind you literally have to pay to win.
★★★★★ Truly disappointed, I have been a long time fan of the games since I was younger, for one you have to pay for the whole story of the game, the past games you didn't.
★★★★★ Wow another game where ai can spam attack you with no limits and can somehow make everything feel slow enough to be able to hit me while I'm about to hit them with a quick attack after they barley get up from getting…

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The game looks fun but I can't open the first chest I played shadow fight2 and it was fun but I can't really give a positive review if I can't have the starting chest and the game just crashes if I try to play the…
★★★★★ i'm playing on an iphone 11, and the game can freeze at any time, but the enemy will not, giving them free hits.
★★★★★ I'm hard stuck on cleric, who has a completely invincible animation he can activate from any state so my combos just do not matter and without gear good enough to strip through his health bar, he just whittles me down…
Worse after an update4%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game was supposed to be the iconic shadow 2.0 but instead gives the bosses more health, is insanely harder to choose your weapons cuz u either buy better equipment with real currency or spend 5 energy for 1 turn…
★★★★★ Ever since the update the same chapter I've been on got exponentially harder.
★★★★★ My main complaint was the recent update, now there's an annoying ragdoll animation that prevents you from getting consistent hits.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • game is good and all but why am i stuck with only using the same three weapons for like the first act, on top of that why is cleric literally so hard to beat, i just finally beat after like 30 times bc everytime i… 5★, Oct 4, 2026
  • As a player who played and beat both shadow fight 2 and shadow fight 2 special edition, ADD THE OPTION FOR ME TO USE ANY WEAPON OF MY CHOICE PLEASE I SHOULD NOT BE OPENING CHEST ON THE CHANCE TO GET WHAT I NEED. 3★, Aug 5, 2026
  • Some of the elements to modernize it maybe should have been thought through a bit. 5★, Jul 27, 2026
  • The ai are to advanced and can you guys please please please add more time to fights if there's 10 seconds left why is the enemy running from me like this is mortal kombat? 1★, Sep 10, 2025
  • This game would be great were it not infuriating to use. 1★, May 5, 2025
  • I had so much fun playing it, but I wish there was a mold where you can fight people people playing the game and also a movie where you can make two people and have them fight or fight a person you made. 4★, Mar 17, 2025

Looks great2%

8 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This game captures the nostalgia of Shadow fight 2, beautiful extension of the story, these are optional but I think some moves could be added to the game for more immersion, like a tackle or a overhead hammer fist,…

★★★★★ Love the polishing of an old classic like this, really going back and appreciating the roots of the franchise, you guys did a awesome job and should be proud.

★★★★★ I really love this game it's SOO smooth bro
★★★★★ Genuinely please get rid of time limit or make it where the person who has the lowest health the loser, this game genuinely pisses me off with its unfair rules, ESPECIALLY for the dudes you have to fight that heal fast…
★★★★★ The new Shadow Fight game released in 2025 has taken the franchise to an entirely new level, earning praise from both longtime fans and newcomers for its stunning visuals, smooth gameplay, and deep storyline.

Это плохо

Я думал что в ШД2 много гринда, я думал что в ШД3 слишком много гринда, но эта игра доказала что все игры до нее это была разминка, столько фармить, столько страдать от несправедливого ии, столько донатить, ради того что бы даже не дойти до конца, потому что чудесный разработчик не смог сделать финал, вы переплюнули самих себя ребят
