    Entertaining title with a light plot, cool characters and nice graphics. Great for relieving the frustration after a hard day ;)

    Gra która sprawi, że cofniecie się w czasie do lat, kiedy gatunek beat 'em up rządził. Absolutnie genialny tytuł - trudny, wymagający, ale sprawiający niesamowitą satysfakcję po przejściu każdego poziomu.

    This game really caught me by surprise. It tries something new and it is not just a gimmick , there is real nuance to the combat rarely seen in this style of game. The setting and combat reminds me of "Muramassa Blade" on the Wii, these games are quite different but they draw similarities with the beautiful setting and new way of control.

It tries something new and it is not just a gimmick , there is real nuance to the combat rarely seen in this style of game. The setting and combat reminds me of "Muramassa Blade" on the Wii, these games are quite different but they draw similarities with the beautiful setting and new way of control. "Shings" combat has you using the right stick for sword attacks and shoulder button for Block , dodges parries and jumping. At first it is a bit awkward but as the muscle memory kicks in you are soon pulling off ever increasingly impressive attacks. Combat requires precision timing, the right moves at the right times and as you start to learn how the stroke of the control stick works with the slice of you blade attacks become more effective and do more damage. Its a process of learning visual ques and reacting. You can not button mash through this game while progress just happens, this may turn more casual gamers off who are used to switching their brains off with similar types of games and that is a shame.
    The other excellent part of SHING is surprisingly the writing and characters. These are not the safe PC friendly Saturday cartoon characters you would expect. The dialogue is mature and not afraid of being offensive, just like the old days. It is sometimes a bit cheesy but also often very funny.

    Finally the game is beautiful, I am not a fan of the big character heads, but that is about it. Overall the character designs are great, cool warrior dudes and sexy ninjas chicks who dose not like that. Well I guess these modern day games journalists do seem to find females being represented as attractive to be offensive, but if your not one of them, check this game out.
    I will be keeping an eye on this developer "Mass Creations" After this game. With good funding and the right backing I think this is a promising studio, I hope they go far.    … Expand

    This game is hard. You need skill, and good control scheme knowledge to master it. But once you grab it - it's pure joy.
    Yes - there are flaws, yes there are bugs. But I'm giving devs some credit.

    I played the game with my brother and his girlfriend - it's fun, and you can send kisses with one of the characters!

    Great beat em up! Take time to practice the slash techniques during challenges and make the block area on the stick smaller in settings for great fun! Timing is important with the combat. The story isnt bad and the dialogue is funny. I really hope they make a sequel. Love this game!

    Shing! zdecydowanie jest tytułem, który warto ograć. Każdy fan gatunku beat’em up odnajdzie się w grze jak ryba w wodzie, a osoby niezaznajomione z tym typem gier mogą śmiało stawiać w nim swoje pierwsze kroki.

    This game is one of worst games I have ever played in my life. The developers should **** kill themselves for releasing this trash.

    Beat em up muito acima da média, tem um grau de dificuldade elevado, mas nada de outro mundo, Diálogos engraçados e com muito duplo sentido. Gráficos bonitos. Um bom jogo pra jogar com um amigo.

    The art style, combat and humour make for a highly entertaining experience for anyone interested in a co-op experience with a retro brawler feel. Despite not having the same single player appeal and a couple of short comings this time round, Shing! is a promising new IP that can only improve its formula for future iterations.

    I wish that Shing! stuck with traditional controls because it offers a fantastic campaign but the controls make it much less fun.

    If you'd have told me before I played Shing! that I would like a control scheme that see's you launch combo attacks with an analogue stick, I would have karate chopped your kidney in anger. Ultimately, you would have been right. It's a control scheme that innovates, is accessible and offers a degree of combo flexibility not seen in more traditional beat 'em ups. In a stellar year for nostalgic side-scrolling beat 'em ups, Shing! is a new IP that absolutely demands your attention.
