Shadow Fight 2

Sep 21, 2018

The RPG element of the armour carefully concocts with your fighting ability, especially in terms of timing and counter-attacks that will be sure to lead to great satisfaction and an urge to keep playing to progress further. The only downside is that when you fight in close quarters to your opponent, elbows will be thrown forward, completely missing the target, which is slightly annoying if you’re after a combo, but it does help keep the game fair, and it is only a minor flaw that doesn’t ruin the experience. The graphical style is beautiful, with silhouette combatants set against a range of charmingly designed stages.

On a platform that already has a pretty solid fighting game lineup, Shadow Fight 2 is a pleasant surprise. The fighting system is different from most games, but if you can deal with its slower flow, you'll find some fun here. The presentation is muted in places but still interesting, and even though some parts of the campaign can feel like a slog, you'll get your money's worth. Shadow Fight 2 won't be your main squeeze, but it can be a good cooldown offering to play between some other fighting games.

Shadow Fight 2 is a solid game at its core and some might be able to dig through, or even appreciate, the flaws around it to really enjoy everything it does well. Unfortunately, I don’t think the majority will have the necessary patience. Nintendojo was provided a copy of this game for review by a third party, though that does not affect our recommendation.

Shadow Fight 2 offers its players a variety of characters and stages to choose from, but an abysmal gameplay experience overall. With poor hit detection, a flawed combat system and a highly-frustrating, grind-heavy campaign, it has limited appeal beyond its mobile origins. My advice? Stick to other fighting games.
