You get to beat people up using quick-fire moves, as well as look really doing it. As a part of a long-running game series in a long-running genre, Shadow Fight 3 is good at what it aims to do. However, the curses of the genre shouldn’t entirely reflect on the individual game. Just like other fighting games, Shadow Fight 3 has an intensely high ceiling after a certain point of progressing through multiplayer, you will eventually find yourself battling someone with such ungodly skill and reaction times that it will scarcely feel worth playing at all.

This lovingly confusing term refers to the level that the very best players can achieve – a game can only ask so much of a player and their fingers, so a game that is extremely difficult or has a great potential for skill is said to have a high ceiling. However, the ever-present problem with games within the fighting genre is the high skill ceiling. The ranking progression system allows players to feel a sense of achievement as they fight through the waves of people online. This PvP is the main focus of the game, ensuring you are able to fight against other fighters around the world. The single player campaign is all about giving you the necessary knowledge to take the combat to multiplayer. Each weapon has its own reach, damage, and statistics, allowing you to customize how you want to fight each battle. As you progress you gain access to a myriad of weaponry to augment your fighting capabilities.Īfter each bout with the enemy, you can unlock different weapons and money that allows you to upgrade said weapons. Do you punch upwards, hoping to knock your opponent back and give yourself a bit of leeway, or do you swing low and hope to deal more damage?Īll these options are further increased by the inclusion of weapons. In addition to the standard elements of role-playing games, Persona 3 includes elements of simulation games, as the games protagonist progresses day.

The games most iconic feature is how the members of SEES release their Personas: by firing a gun-like object called an Evoker at their head. Simple punches in other games become a calculated decision as to the direction of fighting. To fight the Shadows, each SEES member can summon a Persona, a manifestation of a persons inner self. The variety of the combat is what ensures Shadow Fight 3 remains fresh after multiple fights. Punches, kicks and special moves all combine with direction controls to enable more varied combat maneuvers. The combat mechanics are very well transferred to mobile: control your direction with the standard d-pad on the left-hand side and what kind of move you perform on the right. The game is about beating people up, let’s be honest.Īfter a little intro wherein you beat up a friendly little buddy with a massive sword as a training mission, you get straight to beating on the various and sundry enemies around you. Or something like that, it doesn’t really matter honestly. In Shadow Fight 3, the player controls a stereotypical dynasty warrior dedicated to ridding the world of the forces of evil.
