Shadow Fight 4: Arena

Okay first off, most reviews here seem fake or have just put 5 to get the ingame bonus coins (I know right?) so let’s begin, shall we? Gameplay: we all know this and yes, you can expect amazing gameplay. This is definitly one of the games strongest traits. The gameplay is amazing, encouraging and rewarding. There were plenty of times I fought and was shocked ny how well the shadow moves were while I was flipping my opponent in the air- followed by 5 katana slashes from each direction only to then slam them down. 10/10 Here. Accesbility: this is the black shepard. And the devs knows it well, they just like money. Unlocking characters, customization, or even opening a emote chest (which is horrible btw) cost insane amounts. Let me break it down to you exactly how expensive this game is: the absolute cheapst chest (emote chest, which gives complete useless stuff) costs you 79kr. Yes I know, to compare it that’s almost a bp in every major battleground game like fortnite, warzone or apex. The actual good chest costs 1099 ingame currency. This is 159kr WHAT? Yes you heard that right. This game is the definition of what’s wrong with the gaming industry sadly. Locking 90% behind a pay2win wall you don’t see right away. Stability: stability is okay. Nothing too amazing or too bad. The game works. Buy the chance to stumble across freezes- and needing to reload the entire game (mid fight. Yes.) happens way too often. This alone makes the game not worth playing. All characters look amazing, as their gameplay does too. You will not be able to try 90% of them though. Even if you pay 500kr you’d not even be close. Insane. Sadly this game gets a solid 4/10 from me. I’ve played plenty of shadow fight game and they show that they really don’t respect their player base. You guys got something amazing going for you

This is a cool game with many charachters coming in the game. This game deserves lots of credit for the cool combat, storymode and much of more. This game defenetly would have earned five stars from me, if not for one reason or maybe more. I keep getting kicked out of the games I play randomly. It’s lagging so hard all the time that when opponents use Shadow abilities, i can’t see that their using one before Im hit. It’s also kinda annoying matchmaking. I keep getting into fights with people that has much higher levels and charachters than me. I understand that this game is not the most popular… but it’s not the matchmaking that is the real probleme. I keep getting kicked out of the laggy arena games 75% present of the time. It’s so annoying that every time i am so close to winning against an overpowered opponent, I get kicked out. And the worst is that i have lost at least over 500 pokals just because the game is lagging and i dont get to finsish the game. I actualully turned on the lowest graphic mode, while i hoped it would get better. But it really didn’t do much. I have seen my opponents have awfull internet… but i have never witnessed any get kicked out like me. Please help!

The matchmaking system ruins the game. Met people with 2k hitpoints more than me. If it wasn’t already enough that the different characters are fairly unbalanced to begin with the game is unplayable unless you want to spend hundreds to thousands on micro transactions and at that point you’re better served playing other games that have some sort of in game community. There’s a glass ceiling you meet only a few hours into the game at which point you will realise you can’t progress without laying down a lot of money. I’m not talking about a 100 bucks. Trust me that won’t get you anywhere. It’s a good idea and the game mechanics are in themselves very cool and easy to learn, but not playable unless you plan to play for 2 hours then delete.

Actually a pay to win game unless u want to spend 5 hours a day watching ads and playing a boring story. Wish normal ranked games actually gave character progress - boring af pls do something about this.

There is only one thing that makes the game a little unfair and that is the matchmaking. I could he level 9 and have hero level 8 and meet people level 12 with hero level 12 and when that happens i have 0 chance to win

There are multippel problems in the game.

I think that the game is awesome, but I set 3 stars, because there are a huge problem at least now. It is the impossibility of getting new heroes by free activities. Yes, there are some events and concrete heroes for reaching score at arena, but how to get common heroes? Game says: “find them in chests”. I have opened more than 7 shard chests and I got no new heroes. That is terrible!

Shard system is heavy pay2win. Good game otherwise, but this new system makes it not worth playing.

Thank you for trying your best at getting the game as balanced as possible

The system drives me mad since it matches you with with either lower-ranking and upper-ranking characters. It’s so much about creating an emotional addiction in this “reward” of winning after losing to apparently stronger players (with upleveled heroes). It sometimes does match you with players of your level. In short, it steals so much of your time (which is your choice) but it also steals so much of your emotional capacity…Truly addiction scheme to get money from people who developed neurosis eventually💀😅
