With unparalleled customization through artifacts and masteries, players can create millions of possible champion builds.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

87/100

RAID: Shadow Legends is a juggernaut in the hero-collection RPG space for a reason. The first thing that hits you is the visual fidelity; the 3D models and environments are console-quality, with an incredible level of detail in the armor and character designs. The tactical depth is equally impressive. With hundreds of champions from 15 different factions, the combinations for team-building are nearly endless. It's not just about who has the highest power level; it's about synergy, artifacts, and mastering the turn-based combat system.

The game offers a massive amount of content, from a fully-voiced story campaign to deep dungeon crawls and a competitive PvP arena. While it certainly encourages spending through its gacha mechanics and 'Raid Cards,' the depth of the customization is where it truly shines. You have full control over your champions' masteries and gear, allowing for highly specialized builds. It's a game that demands strategy and long-term planning, making it incredibly satisfying for players who enjoy min-maxing and high-fantasy world-building. It remains one of the most polished and content-rich RPGs on mobile.

True Review on Raid
Mon May 06 2019 Dalass7

I gave this game a good amount of time before reviewing, as I never play games for very long and don’t want to give a great review to a game that’s amazing in the beginning but falls off after awhile. Given that, I have nothing but great things to say. This game has amazing graphics and character design, but not only that, there is so much to do! This game is very in depth and takes a good amount of time to learn everything. The creators also do a fairly good job at trying to provide videos for explanation of their content when you’re ready to learn more. This is an old style rpg and takes time. This game isn’t meant to get legendaries easily, as with most games, and I love that aspect. I wouldn’t listen to other reviews about being a p2w or too low of drop rates (yes they are low but you still get amazing champions often). Each character has amazing graphics, customizable items, and more. It would be amazing to see them make an mmo out of this. I’m extremely impressed with everything thing they’ve done with this game and they really care about their players when something is malfunctioning. If you’re wanting a game that you can become super strong with in a month, this isn’t the game for you, but it is amazing. Give it a chance and give it time. There are quests you can tackle to help guide you in progress when you don’t know what else to do. Some quests are easy and fast... some take a lot of time before completing. It’s addictive whether you play casually or want to play all day! It’s just fun which is what a game should be.

Amazing RPG even for turn based combat
Wed Sep 04 2024 thanmandanwithdaplan

Normally I don’t write reviews because i personally don’t have any long lasting interest in mobile games but this one is the best app I’ve downloaded. I was drawn for the Asgard Divided event and couldn’t put it down once I’ve started. The turn based combat is much more complex than most games but very easy to pick up. I’ve never been bored watching how the fight goes due to the the attributes of characters having advantages in certain stages as a result of the enemies attributes. There’s so many levels and missions to complete that I’ve yet to halt completely in game and can continue fighting to gain upgrade items to get back to my primary interests. The tutorial doesn’t force you to do hundreds of rounds you aren’t interested in and lets the player explore aspects of the game when they are ready. Tutorials only initiate if you’ve never opened the tab before and the explanation are very simple on what to do and where to get the necessary items to complete upgrades, level increases, enhancements, etc. Enhancements on items are incredibly useful and don’t feel unnecessary like most RPGs while also making it entertaining due to the chance of enhancements changing based on item level. The effects of the items are actually useful in combat and have a very balanced feel to them. The game is great about log in rewards and has a wonderful tendency to be useful in progression rather than just a small dopamine rush to engage players. Overall the best turn based rpg I’ve ever played. I’ve been obsessed and can’t wait to claim the rewards every day. Highly recommend for fantasy rpg lovers.

Variety Please
Wed May 06 2020 MyDude714

I’ve just been playing for a couple weeks now and the game is pretty fun. My only real issue with the game is the lack of Variety with the Champions. You look at top players and they all have one of 6 or 7 top tier Legendary characters. I know, I know what you will say, ‘you can mix it up with different equipment’ but they are still the same characters with the same moves. I’ve got a crazy idea, bear with me. What if you added a Rank Leveling mechanic for Common and Uncommons? As you increase their stars, they acquire new, albeit random maybe, moves?? Let’s be honest, Commons and Uncommons are just cannon fodder to level up better Champions or other Commons and Uncommons so they can be Ranked up and in turn become fodder to Rank Up more powerful characters (That probably didn’t make sense). These lower Rank characters truly gain nothing when you Rank them up. And with only one or two moves, no real player is going to waste their time. I know, I know the unspoken answer to this, ‘We won’t do that because then people won’t spend real money to own more of the better Shards’. Terrible!! BUT come on!! Could you imagine the longevity of this game if people weren’t forced to be stuck in the same box together?!? You will still and will always have players that want to buy the Shards to get ‘The Best’ characters in the game but the competition level would be off the freakin chart!!! And that is what will keep people coming back! Just think about ..... please 😬!

Ok but needs work
Sun Feb 02 2020 Wolfplayz34

This app is not fully made I feel like because of the poor lack of the campaign. When you beat the campaign, all you can do is re do it but on a different level of hardness. It goes Normal, Hard, brutal, hardcore. But afar from that it’s really fun with all of the game modes such as fraction, arena, CAMPAIGN and clan bosses. Oh yeah speaking of arena and clan bosses. Arena is the worst bc u need it for everything. And the arena is really bad bc of how many “trophies” you have to get to rank up such as you get like 11 every time and you need like 1200 to tier up (you start at 1000 trophies). Also the clan feature is TERRIBLE bc of how the clan boss looks like, how OP it is and what you get from it is...drum role please...............NOTHING. But again really good game actually kinda fun but need to take out chat nobody reads it, all I do is accidentally click on it and it’s annoying. Also there is this game mode I did not mention called dungeons witch is...meh.. I don’t think anything of it at first until HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO GRIND ON IT. You need to wait like 2 minutes to earn literally nothing BUT if you do it for 2 hours you’ll actually get something. Not even that, you literally have to wait days on what you need to come out be some “dungeons” such as magic keep and force keep. Magic keep opens only on Thursday and force keep opens on Thursday so magic keep will be closed on Thursday. So u have to wait days just get what you need just a little. Also the biggest thing that I hate about this game is how much AD banners there are such as u literally get 30 when you get on.

Great game but….
Tue Sep 05 2023 Natedaw930

This is a great game. I really enjoy everything you can do in it along with the occasional free legendary. I have a few reasons as to why I didn’t give it a 5 star. 1). With almost everything requiring energy a player can run out of energy stupid fast and then have to wait a few hrs for the energy to refill. I personally would like to see the energy cap increased by another 100 or so. Another option would be to decrease the time it takes to get back energy from 3 minutes to 1 minute. 2). Give players another way to get Epic/Lego tomes as well as shards without having to spend a lot of money for them. I know that we can earn them other ways through events, tournaments and missions, I’m just suggesting letting us grind our way to getting them through dungeons at some of the hardest levels with a small chance of getting them. I’ve played borderlands so I understand the grinding. I understand that this is a f2p game and you have to make money so I don’t want to take that away from you as a company and there are so many players that would gladly spend the money. I’m only suggesting these topics as a way for those players that don’t want to or can’t afford to spend money to have a chance to compete with others who do spend a lot of money. Again I really enjoy the game and can’t wait to see where you guys take the game in the future!

Really fun game but...
Fri Jan 15 2021 StephMonroe

OK so just start this off I can’t lie raid shadow legends is really really good game and it’s really fun to pass the time with. But I have seen lately an increase in levels like 26s having legendary‘s and Epix which I think is either luck or a pay to win but whenever I tryTo defeat them they always come out on top now I know there’s gears and rings are usually farm spiders den level one for rings which I used to thought were extremely rare butts that’s not my main complaint that’s just like something small. My main complaint is a graphical errors I consistently have where enemy champions or bosses I’m just completely bugging out like they attack and then they go back their limbs extend kind of and then they spin it sounds comical but it happens. I can say there is a fair chance for everybody to do challenges weekly challenges and such and I think I think it’s really good for like the gym earning system if you were to buy the gym generator like I’m trying to I think it’s a fair chance for everybody and I really like that this game balances paid a win and fun to win basically and I’ve never seen any other game do that with a balance pay to win and fun to win. Sorry about any grammatical errors.I used to also think that this game was really really bad. But I feel like I got completely immersed back in like December 19 I don’t know when I started truly. But I do know that is that this game is honestly amazing.

Very fun game, but it crashes often.
Mon Sep 23 2019 Andrucifer

I’ll start off by saying I truly enjoy this game, and it is fun to play. Gorgeous graphics for a mobile game, and while the game has a heavy grinding aspect, there are tons of activities in the game that prevent it from being stale. I have played this game for almost 4 months now, and I enjoy it a lot, but it has one huge flaw that is very frustrating. This game crashes all the time, and i do mean ALL the time. I can’t play this game for more than 15 minutes without having it crash. It crashes for unknown reasons and it happens in every aspect of the game. It will also consume whatever resources you needed to do the fight, but it wont complete any fight for you. The worst one is the clan boss, because that resource (a key) renews every 6 hours and you only get 2 of those keys in total. The game will crash and consume that key, but wont register that you did any fight. I have tried everything i know to fix this problem. That includes re-installing the game, filing tickets, emailing for support, and updating my iOS to be the most current all the time. Still crashes :( If this game didnt have such a problem with that, this would be 5 stars no question! Also for a quick dev recommendation: if you could add the option to downgrade a superior potion into 10 greaters, or a greater potion into 10 lessers that would be awesome! I have over 67 superior arcane potions and 1 greater.... id love to get rid of some of those to help with ascending the lower levels! Hope you consider this idea 🙂

Good

Raid Shadow Legends is a popular mobile game that has gained a lot of attention in the gaming community. The game is a turn-based RPG that allows players to build a team of heroes and battle against various enemies in a fantasy world. While the game has its positives, it also has some drawbacks that are worth mentioning. One of the strengths of Raid Shadow Legends is its graphics. The game features stunning 3D graphics that bring the fantasy world to life. The character designs are unique and well-detailed, and the environments are rich and immersive. The game also has a wide variety of characters to choose from, each with their own unique abilities and traits. Another positive aspect of the game is its gameplay. The turn-based battles are engaging and require strategic thinking to succeed. The game also has a variety of game modes, including a campaign mode, arena battles, and clan activities, which keeps the game fresh and exciting. However, one of the drawbacks of the game is its heavy focus on monetization. The game is free to play, but it heavily encourages players to spend money on in-game purchases to progress faster or obtain powerful characters. While it is possible to enjoy the game without spending money, the constant push towards spending can be off-putting. Overall, Raid Shadow Legends is an enjoyable game with stunning graphics and engaging gameplay. However, its heavy focus on monetization can be a turn-off for some players. If you're willing to overlook that aspect, Raid Shadow Legends is definitely worth checking out.
