Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This is a great game. We played it on our old phone but Im better at this game now than we used to be. Its been a while and the game hasnt changed and we love that. The game takes skill and there isnt Lot of grinding. Also if youre struggling on a boss just go in the shop and try to buy the best armor you can. Over all this is one of the best games we have ever played. Its not a ripoff, Its good quality, and we would recommend to anyone who likes Mortal Kombat.
Best game we have ever played even better than the trend game where winds meet.
The combat in this game is pretty good for a mobile title. Timing, precision, and varying up your moves are at its core. There a plethora of game modes to keep you entertained. Each weapon style is unique and there are enough weapons, armor sets, and abilities to make this game feel like an RPG. Your character and their equipment truly feel like your own. With that said, the progression systems, pop-ups, and microtransactions are downright predatory. You will have a very difficult time as a beginner. Leveling up as F2P is a snails pace, the store pop-ups in your face about every 5 seconds encouraging you to buy, and boss fights and events are impossible (with complete BS abilities) unless you buy something. Goes to show that the most powerful weapon in this game is the credit card.
Can you please recolor the restrained weapon to fit the armor set? It is so close to the color of the armor and our ocd skyrockets whenever we see it so can you pls change it.
How do you change the weapon in a set if you cant please add it so you can use set abilities while having your favorite weapon equipped.
We like the game dont know when they will make the movement more smooth but not to bad for a mobile game we like it we recommend it.
Absolutely rigged freaken game. Don't download this. Please. We don't leave reviews on much but we did in this. Terrible.
We go no complaints about this game but the ads are so annoying. The only thing that got in our nerves, and Im not going to pay for ads free.
Its so damn good in pls give us rubies.
Hello developers of shadow fight 3 we really need gems Im very low on gems and we dont wanna spend any cash on gems. So it would help if you sent us 2000 or 3000 gems we only have 144 it would help a lot and if you cant we understand Thank you.
We play the game for a few days, love it, then we get to the sarge boss, that was so hard, cant even beat the shadow version of him, he walks up, bangs you on your face, and slams his hammer behind your head, it does so much damage it one shots us. Ive been struggling for about 2-3 hours.
This game is so good from the beginning of chapter 1 this is so good and we hope other people can enjoy this good game.
10 numara bir oyun Shadow 5 te gelsin.
Easy to use controls yet fun and still challenging.
Hey Generation Z and Generation Alpha! If youre looking for an epic gaming experience, look no further than Shadow Fight 3! Dive into a world where martial arts meets RPG magic. With jaw-dropping graphics, smooth and dynamic combat, and a gripping storyline, this game is a must-play. Its not just a game; its an adventure that will keep you hooked and entertained. So grab your gear, unleash your inner warrior, and enjoy the amazing journey that is Shadow Fight 3.
Yea sure the controls are pretty hard to learn but once you learn them youll be hitting combos like you played your whole life.
This game is absolutely amazing, great visuals, gameplay and fighting animation, although for some reason our character doesnt look like he has his headgear on even though we made sure it was on him, like youd swear he didnt have any on unless we showed you it was on, could you fix that please? Otherwise fantastic game.
Its a really fun game even for when you like playing fighting games the more you play the more fun.
Love the game Ive just been stuck on this boss for five weeks You need to make him take more damage. And not run away from you when you try to attack him he misses his attacks constantly. Which makes it more annoying. When the only set we have that can be good against him forces us to block his attacks and he just does not attack us so please Nerf this boss. PS: please allow us to use our active skills when using Marias amulet.
This game is so fun and deno reg is ez you NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME.
The game is fun but theyre always changing the in game currency trying to get you to spend more money for items instead of winning battles & earning them.
We love that u fight with your hands.
Its so fun and realistic and addicting That.
Where has his game been all our life? We already forgot all of our other games that we played all the time. This is playing Mortal Kombat on your tablet and not on PS five free and really fun. We write this 1 million out of 1 trillion.
Amazing game really need more styles.
Best game out here the quality is so crisp for a mobile game and the variety of gear and weapons are amazing.
Dont like the mysterious guest it so dumb like to op but good game all around Pls fix @-@.
Does this game have PvP honestly cuz shadow fight 4 is bunz no character customization we dont like the concept of 4 but we downloaded it cuz we like PvP games maybe adding a customization to 4 would make it more lively to us custom skills and stuff instead of choosing avatars or adding a PvP feature to 3 if it dont have one.
We dont remember this game having so many adds.
The intro fight scene is incredible, the combat had to master and in-game cosmetics. What Im fond of which is to upgrade each of them including amour and weapons This is the game we m finding for not only you are good at but you can become the warrior.
The boss on the first island is so impossible we have now been on it for 6 hours now and he just keep on turning invinsible fix your game please.
We genuinely hate with our whole soul how the duals are set up. And the game is PAY TO WIN ive grew up on this game and we genuinely dislike how hard duals can be if you DONT PAY TO WIN either they get stronger after the health and gone or the stupid crow just attacks and makes you bleed 4x DMG? Devs PLEASE fix this.
After finishing all the stories we logged in only for it to freeze and spam bad server connection or none at all. Please fix this its been 3 days now.
Been stuck fighting sarge and im about done with this game because we cant beat him and he kills you in 2 moves that are almost impossible to avoid. We cant get our character past level 3 fun game but ultimately pointless to play if its the only battle we can play ( even though its easy difficulty).
C t t li qung co chn vo, gi our ng bt chp n vy.
The Balancing is Awful we fight strong but they spam their moves that have iframes and we literally cant attack them and they do like 70 dmg in a few hits.
Usually no sever,when you play it.
Slow motion gives it away and the game is babying the opponents by thinking they dont get hit even tho they do. Too boring.
This is an insane game the stuff is insane but make this more challenging.
We got lots of different weapon attacks from raids but we already got a lot and we cant get more, Instead we just get resources from the raids chest can you fix this pls? Oh and also can you make Shadow Fight 3 on console so our brother can try it out? Thank you.
Us gusta tu juego es bien buensimo o lo voy a jugar todos los das.
The game has always been fun although we completed a chapter and now it is constantly a white screen when we try to play.
Please rework the combat system and the animations there are, kinda like shadow fight 4. Wed appreciate it and Thx.
How am we supposed to get past sarge when he does so much damage? We tried to back up but its so slow and he does so much damage.
What in the raid shadow legends. This entire game has become a massive add. Sometimes it just feels unplayable.
Hello, if youd like to give us some of your time, we could point out some important issues and things to consider before putting some time into this game! This review will cover: 1. Core Gameplay/Mechanics. 2. Monetization. 3. Time Investments. Lets start with 1. Core Gameplay. In our opinion, its very similar to the prequel, both with very good and complex gameplay mechanics. Our only real critique for this category is that, because of the various skills and abilities lodged within the weapons and armor, the previous solutions to the fighting mechanics – which appeared to be adding a form of end-lag to nearly every attack or movement, and having no movement result in a defensive stance (blocking) – feel more so like a chain, something that l locks you, or we guess in a way decides the fate of the round, as the longer you play, the more likely you are to come across someone that has an interesting ability to either deal massive amounts of damage in one attack, or lock you in place. These are also kind of non-issues as most likely one would chalk it up to a lack of expertise. Fair. Lets move on then. 2. Monetization. As a developer ourselves, we wholeheartedly understand the need for paid content. We all have to make money somehow, right? The issue with this, especially in this game, is that things become glaringly obviously crafted to make you feel pressured into spending any, and we mean any, amount of money. From fake sales that say This weapon pack is [Number_Percentage]% off!, to taking weapons, or better yet, entire sets that appear to be very rare or at least hard to obtain, and essentially nerfing them completely upon reaching a new Plane. (Think of it as World 2). The Sets are still usable, only you can no longer upgrade them until you find them again. Again, not the biggest issue, but its very frustrating to be forced to move to different sets despite having the ability to upgrade your previous one that you mightve liked, solely because the set you had was a rare one, and that cant be upgraded anymore until you find it again. Where the preying monetization comes in is, youll feel the need to start opening more and more Packs, or Lootboxes in a sense, to find your previous items. As with most games, these packs cost premium currency that can be obtained in minuscule amounts through events, thus leading us into our next point; 3. Time Investment. We would say, gamings biggest turnoff is when youre given breadcrumb size bites of premium currency over a drawn out period with the hope of a certain purchase dangling over your head. Its evident they just want to keep you coming back, but its not even hidden well within this game, unfortunately. If it isnt the tiny amounts of premium currency being fed to you over time, it could be the Dueling Chests, an alternative method to get item sets, also having lengthy delays. These wouldnt be so bad if you had time to spare, and didnt mind checking in every now and then, but trying to fit an actual session longer than 30 minutes of playtime in..? Not so sure about that one If it isnt any of the other aforementioned details slowly gnawing away at your mental state that gets you, it would be you, after everything else, then having to lay witness to unfortunate time gates, that would break you. In the end, and we want to make sure to clarify, these problems alone arent really troublesome, but thinking about it from an entire experience view, for lack of a better word, it seems to us -at the very least-a much better, and much more honest job could be done here. This review is mainly for anyone looking to download that bothers with reviews, so going into the little details is likely excessive, but more can be said, so never rule those things out, and always at least hear out the community. Thats all from us, we hope this helped shed some light on the current state of this game! It isnt too bad, but work can and SHOULD be done here. Have a nice day.
