    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.

    This game CHEATS .. The AI is designed to steal your quarters probably more frustrating than MKIII. I had finished this game on the mobile fewThis game CHEATS .. The AI is designed to steal your quarters probably more frustrating than MKIII. I had finished this game on the mobile few years back and decided to play on the switch. The only thing I can say is "Don't even start". While new grinding mechanics were applied for the switch the AI just bluntly Cheats.... Yes it CHEATS, just like Shadow Fight 3 and here are some very ridiculous ways of how it cheats.

    1. Hit recovery and movement of AI. When the AI feels like, it can have 10 times faster hit recovery especially on boss fights. It can get knocked down and getup and strike you back faster than you can link your 2nd strike.

    2. You cannot hit the AI when it feel like it. So when you start to do a combo on the AI, it will just get knocked down and apply the cheapness in Step 1 or you will see your attack go right through them.

    3. Stun, heal, life steal etc.. This all works against you. I mean imagine something have 2 times more HP than you that can, combo you when it has a stun icon and do a few more moves before the stun kicks in. When you finally get it down to a lower HP it will either hit you once and steal its HP back, or start recovering HP from a skill or pull a magic move out of no where or start moving so fast that you can't even get a hit in. The one I personally hate the most is messing with your inputs. Yes, the game will sometimes not take your commands, like jumping to avoid something, while tapping way ahead of time you just stand there and take the 2 x time damaging hit from your opponent while they heal back to full HP under a stun which leaves you at 1 HP and ponder why you are still playing this game.

    This is the same reason why I refuse to buy anything from these game devs...    … Full Review »
