Official Description

“

Shadow Fight is a classical Beat-em-up game in the tradition of glorious arcade classics such as Mortal Kombat or Tekken. We hope that this action-rich game will offer you a lot of entertainment and fun. Like any good action game, Shadow Fight is easy to learn, but very hard to master! It’s best to just start and get an impression of the easy-to-learn controls, which on the other hand will allow more advanced players to use complex special moves. A short tutorial will introduce you to the game. In Shadow Fight, you will compete against avatars of your friends in the VZ network. The opposing avatar will be controlled by the computer – to allow a good action experience without latency over the internet. If you do want to play 'live' against one of your friends, this is also possible, however, you will have to share your computer with them. The corresponding option can be found under 'two players' in the combat menu.

Gameplay

Shadow Fight began with Sensei introducing the player to the controls of the game. Once the tutorial ended, the players could participate in various battles. Through fighting, they could earn XP and coins which could be used for purchases and upgrades to enhance the player's attacks and abilities. They were also able to battle other players. As the players progressed in the game, more structures and features like better Techniques would become unlocked on the map.
