<div>Like its predecessors, Shadow Fight 3 is a 2D fighting game. Historically, such genres have had a hard time working great on touchscreens due to the imprecision and lack of feedback with virtual sticks (this recently has become less of an issue as many if not most recent mobile games now supporting regular controllers). But the Shadow Fight games have controlled quite well on touchscreens.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The controls consist of a virtual stick at the bottom left of the touchscreen and 4 virtual buttons at the bottom right. You have a button for strikes, kicks, magic and ranged attacks. Combat consists of moving the stick in a direction and pressing a button. Unlike other fighting games that require multiple precise inputs (especially motion inputs) to output fast strings of attacks, the Shadow Fight games' combat consist of slower high commitment attacks that can't be cancelled. For example, right + kick has your character do a kick to the stomach. You can counter this by either blocking (releasing all controls) or attacking with a faster attack to hit them before the kick lands. Blocks can be countered by throwing an opponent by getting in close and pressing right/left + strike.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>shadow fight 2 mod apk 2022 latest version download</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/E7TBni4YWf </div><div></div><div></div><div>So a typical match consists of all these balancing acts where players have to watch their opponents moves, counter or respond correctly and hopefully gets some really good hits in. Someone taking damage also tends to fall over quickly and moves to attack a grounded opponent are quite feeble. There are some other aspects to fights. Hitting an opponent's head does bonus damage and may even "shock" the opponent where they drop their weapons and have to fight with their fists instead which can be quite devastating as weapons are the most powerful attacking tools.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The main change I noticed is the pace of fights. It's hard to explain but to use an analogy, fights in SF2 felt like they played out at 0.9x speed while SF3's fights feel like they play out at 1.2x speed. Back in SF2, when you hit or knock over an opponent, they appear to get i-frames as they fall and get up so it is much harder to punish an opponent repeatedly or get multiple hits in. This is best demonstrated when you hit an opponent in the air with a quick strike and try to follow up. They seem to fall straight down and phase through your attacks. Even trying to do a "down + kick" turns your regular sweep kick into a feeble stomp that's lucky to get an extra hit in. This results in fights having much more of a "back and forth" and feeling like " a traditional duel" with more pauses in the action as it's much harder to be on the aggressive and landing a multi-hit combo feels like quite the accomplishment. SF2 even has a "style" meter that fills as you land multiple hits in a row in quick succession as a way to gauge your aggressiveness and it's quite hard to fill that up.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Ranged Combat has also been tweaked. You can no longer infinitely throw shurikins or knives. You can now only throw around 3 at a time and then have to wait for them to recharge. This makes it harder to turtle up or to cheese fights. On top of that, you now have different kinds of ranged options. You can also use bows and guns for longer range at the cost of longer animations. Or use caltrops and traps to restrict your opponent's movement. Definitely glad you can't infinitely spam ranged attacks as these are annoying enough to deal with.</div><div></div><div></div><div>But yeah, all this results in SF3's matches feeling like you're always on the offensive. You're always attacking and there's very few, if any, moments of downtime like in SF2. SF2 had moments where both fighters would sometimes get up and slowly inch towards each other like a climactic scene from a movie. It would be tense waiting for the other to respond and trying to come up with a plan. It also felt easier to play defensive if you wanted. Waiting for your opponent to strike first and either try interrupting or baiting out attacks. But in SF3, I feel that approach isn't viable. Between the improved throws, charged states, armoured attacks, more frequent and powerful magic attacks, I found that waiting for the opponent to attack you first was often too risky. It was better to always be attacking in some way and using the block more sparingly.</div><div></div><div></div><div>One of Shadow Fight 2's biggest selling points was the pretty lengthy singleplayer campaign that consisted of multiple chapters. Each chapter required you to defeat the main bosses to progress. To get strong enough to do so, you often had tournaments, survival, side and challenge fights to do that gave you money and XP to upgrade your character. Granted, this wasn't the best approach, especially on iOS. The free iOS version had an energy system that limited you to a handful of fights at a time which you could pay premium currency to skip. The payouts from fights was often pitiful and you had to grind the survival mode to make up the difference which got repetitive. You could only upgrade your fighter so much before the next boss so you were always walking into a disadvantage. But despite all that, at least you could play SF2 offline and it was somewhat clear you could progress your own way. Like, It felt possible that you could eventually progress once you grinded enough and the tools to do so were in front of you. That if there was no energy system (like in the Switch version), you could progress albeit slowly but still consistently.</div><div></div><div></div><div>That isn't the case in SF3's campaign. Each chapter/sub-chapter still requires you complete the main boss fights to progress. However, upgrading your fighter is far more dependent on RNG and fewer resources. Unlike SF2, there are far fewer side fights/quests per chapter. Often consisting of 1-2 events at a time. It's possible to end up in a state where either even the side quests are too high levelled for you or you exhaust them all and there isn't anything else you can do to bridge the gap between the next main story fight. There are simply far fewer renewable fights you can grind.</div><div></div><div></div><div>With Shadow Fight 3, there were times, especially towards the end of the campaign where I felt I literally had nothing to do. I had done all the side fights, duels and season events I could that day as a free to play player. I simply did not have the stats for the main boss fights. I either had to wait 24 hours for another refresh, or pay premium currency to refresh or pay Real Money to get card packs or Battle Pass stuff. While SF3 doesn't have an energy system like SF2, this feels much worse.</div><div></div><div></div><div>You can't even cheese wins partway through. In SF2, it was possible to win via time out if you had more health remaining than your opponent. In SF3, in major boss fights, you will lose regardless of how much health you have compared to your opponent if time runs out. I made a great build focused on using quick attacks to stun opponents to keep them from attacking me as I was so underlevelled that even blocking hits took a good portion of my health. I discovered an exploit with the AI that as soon as they fill up their magic meter, they will enter the Shadow Form immediately and try using their magic abilities. So if I could trap them in enough of a loop, I could get them to waste their attacks and interrupt them in the process. It was risky and I'd often lose quickly once the boss got an opening to use one of their random abilities or got a charged attack or managed to get off a single magic attack. It often took multiple attempts for late game fights but I could usually make it through by doing enough damage across a round to barely scrape by. But eventually I would start running into Bosses that I simply could not do enough damage to completely deplete their health by the end of the round leading to a loss for me even if I played perfectly and didn't let the boss get a single hit in.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>I quit playing once I somehow passed all that and made to the Shadow Beast Boss fights where he is permanently in Shadow Form, has unlimited Magic and can only be damaged through you using Magic Attacks. You gain Magic Energy by taking damage. A single hit would give me a decent amount of Magic Energy but tear through my Health Bar. Even when I could get off Magic Attacks, they did a pitiful amount of damage.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The unfortunate thing is that Shadow Fight 3 does have the pieces to have a fun campaign. And in the early game and some of the Seasonal Events, it does do that as the fights are generally fair, upgrades are quick and easy to come by and swapping equipment isn't a hassle. If anything, it is really fun seeing all the new gear pieces and what they can do. Many of the Boss Fights and wacky challenge fights are really fun and unique in a singleplayer context. A boss that literally summons vines and turns the stage into an obstacle course where you jump over stage hazards or one that tries to balance on their sword to try jumping onto you are really cool spectacles and fun to fight.....provided you aren't crazy underlevelled.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The only problem is that it's told almost entirely through static text boxes in between major fights. I kinda stopped paying attention after a while and just fast forwarded through the text boxes as they often felt like filler. So when the fancy animated cutscene played and the major choice of the story happened, I was certainly caught off guard. I sadly won't give an extended breakdown and analysis of the story but I will say that if it was a full on and well produced anime or something, I'd probably watch it as the I do like the weird hodgepodge of ideas, themes and aesthetics the game has.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Shadow Fight 4: Arena is a fighting game developed by Nekki Limited.
