User blog:Ninjablademaster/Shogun Update (SPOILERS)

So, as you may have recently seen, the Iron Reign update is out, meaning we can now face the Shogun and get to the Gates of Shadows. There are a few things I want to talk about (or write about) regarding this update.

Content and the Wiki
Of course, since there is additional content (equipment, areas, fighters, storylines, etc.), there will be lots of things to add onto the wiki. This means lots of work for admins, as we are required to do that, and other users if they choose to. Of course, with the increase in users, everything will go more efficiently. Nevertheless, there's still lots to be done.

My Opinion on the "Ending"
The way I see it, the ending was great. The player locks the gate of shadows, but then May is pulled in a and sealed within. You can then see Titan laughing, probably meaning this was his work. It was fantastic, in fact. Full of suspense; still leaving enough mystery for the next update to resolve. I think this was a job very well done by Nekki, kudos to them. However, shouldn't they have they let the players progress onto the Redemption region? After all, I was done with Widow and all of the areas before hers, until the update came out. This means that I only had ONE area to play through, which lasted about a day. Then, I could only play survival and duels, meaning I wouldn't be able to:
 * Get achievements
 * Grind XP
 * Be challenged by more difficult enemies

My Opinion on the Amount of Content
As I mentioned above, shouldn't Nekki have added the Redemption area? They could have also added the long-awaited live online multiplayer, which would have allowed players who blazed through the singleplayer to fight each other. This would give them a chance to face more adept opponents, as well as a place to get XP, gold, and achievements. Considering Shadow Fight 1 had a major multiplayer element, I don't think its an issue of "but Nekki can't add it at the moment." Overall, this was a great update. However, there was a lot that could have been added to make it interesting for the people who managed to complete it.
