I love this game so much but..

Firstly, this game is super fun and i don't regret spending a dime on this. The characters are unique, all have different animations, story, skins, and skills. The skills are a huge part of the game and every single person has a different and unique skillset. You will never see the same skill on two characters. i applaud the time and love that goes into this game. the only negative thing is how there is no trash/smart talk and how it can be pay to win at times. Pay to win is a little bit an overstatement but it can be one sided. one person would be too strong to fight and some would have weapons that give advantages. These types of weapons will be behind loot boxes that you could earn or pay for. I don't have a huge issue with it but the next part are toxic players. After spamming a single move throughout the game, they would spam “Thanks!” or “Well played!” knowing you got destroyed by a one trick pony. It aggravates me to stay quiet because there are no aggressive quick chats.. not even passive aggressive ones! i suggest some sort of trash talk be added to the game but not too harsh! maybe a “wow!” or “may the shadows overwhelm you.” it relates to the game while being a little passive aggressive like the npc’s in story mode. That’s my review of the game so far and a suggestion at the end. Thank you!

Loading problems. Game is well made.

I have been having loading issues. I re downloaded the game after some months, and the loading screen freezes and I can’t play the game. Sometimes it gets to the extract part and freezes around 60-89, it’s very annoying. I tried to re download the game and it’s still not working. I’m not sure what’s going on. Besides my own personal issue, the game is solid. It’s fun and having an online version is nice. Sf2 and 3 didn’t have that. I have finished both of them and I can’t say sf4 can compete so far, but it’s enjoyable. Helpful advice for the game is don’t focus on rarity of a character, just focus on how you play with that character and if your having fun! Although it IS pay to win. Sf2 and 3 are not. To win you gotta get higher character rarities, if you don’t you’ll loose, especially when you have common characters you can’t win. That’s the one downfall of this game. And for free the higher characters are almost impossible to get. It’s very sad and as a sf fan for years I expected different for 4 but it was slightly disappointing. If you haven’t finished 2 and 3 this game won’t bother you, id recommend if so. Extremely pay to win. To make it better, make it more obtainable, but if that’s the only way you make money cuz the ads aren’t a have to, I guess theirs nothing we can do. I’ve not spent a penny and im a skilled fighter. But im only have iv ranking or something. What a shame.

Hi Nekki! I have questions! (& Review)

First I wanna I love this game. It’s so fun and addictive and y’all did a very good job on it I literally can’t stop playing. So I just want to say keep it up cause dang I’m loving it so far. ——————————————————— And my questions are- •Will you add a lot more characters? Like Itu for an example, one of my favorite characters. (I mean beginning of the game/ old days Itu not the new technologic Itu from the later chapters of SF3.) Maybe even Bolo! He would be cool to see in the game. And I love how you added Lynx, my favorite boss from SF2, to the game. Thanks for that, so could you add more of the characters from SF2 in? I just want to see more awesome characters in the game. ——————————————————— •Can you make it easier to get skins for characters? Like I really want to get Lynx’s “head of the order” skin (as its a nice nod to his original SF2 appearance) but I don’t know how, as I don’t know if it was a season exclusive or it’s only a special offer thing or if it’s even gettable still in any way. If you wont make it easier, at least tell me how to get the skins and especially how to get “Head of the Order” Lynx skin. Thank you for your time, I hope these things can be answered and or considered. ——————————————————— (Edit 1)- added lines to make it neater- (Edit 2)- renamed title

Unbalanced and broken

Every match is lags making it impossible to react to your opponent and the directional inputs hardly work (I know it’s not my wife cause I just got a new 5g router and nothing else in my house lags). This problem is exacerbated by the games weak performance. For example: an enemy will start a combo and you try to roll away, instead of rolling however your character will sometimes just take a single step or just not move at all. This wouldn’t be much a problem if the the technical difficulties showed up after a match that lagged but it doesn’t. It only ever shows up when I win and experienced little to know bugs. Aside from that the game is horribly unbalanced. Characters like Serge and Marcus can just spam strong attacks non stop and not get punished for it. Again this wouldn’t be a problem if other characters can spam combos but they can’t. Or perhaps add something to their kit that prevents this i.e. Hong joo has great combos but once his meter is full you can’t pull off a combo until you unleash a special attack so why is it that these other two characters can spam with impunity. Yuka only needs to land one combo and 3/4 of your health is gone. If you want a more fair and balanced experience you’re better off only playing against the ai. I wanna fight other players but I’m constantly faced with technical difficulties and balancing issues making the game not worth playing.

Honest review/ troubles

I’m going to start by saying this is an awesome game that actually keeps me want to keep playing it except for one thing that stops me from staying on it constantly because of the disappointment of not being able to obtain one thing. Now for the real intro. I have been playing this game for an unhealthy amount of years and somehow I still am yet to have a purple weapon..it’s almost as if it’s pay to win…… But no on a serious note it’s as if every time I face a team with full purple I’m dead no matter what I don’t see that as very fair, I’m not the best in the world at ur game but I’m certainly not the worst, yet for some reason when those teams appear i look like Im only in that match to make my opponents looks good. Who knows maybe my drop rate is just bad but considering I’ve put in the same amount of money as a small monitor would cost I would assume that’s enough for at least one.. just one.. all I was looking for but noooo that seems entirely impossible in this game it seems to be a game where a measly $200 doesn’t mean anything. Hope fully someone can shed some light on how I can obtain one like idk🤷maybe u could add a weapon to actually just purchase in the shop with money so I don’t need to go through all this trouble or if ur feeling kind slide a broke man a weapon 😂kidding 😅.

Camping/constantly backing away

This used to be a fun a entertaining game for me to play when I have free time. Now it is the most infuriating thing to play because of the constant never ending camping and constant backsteppimg that has overtaken almost all of the players in this game. This game rewards this play style so much that there is almost no incentive to not play like this. Every time I have tried to close the distance and get in for attacks I’m just bombarded with projectiles and thrown for free damage when I get close. I have been trying to play this game for a very long time but it’s just not fun anymore. There is no reward worth dealing with all the super try hards just camping at the opposite end of the screen. If this one exploit of the game was fixed I could play it again but at this point there is no reason to try and fight this. Almost every fight I have done has ended in losses because of this play style. I would suggest making a feature where the shadow mind pushes people together when they spend to much time backing away. Like have a specific zone at the max distance away from you can be for your opponent where the shadow mind can appear and shove the players together that deals no damage and doesn’t get either player an advantage or make the far end to very slight damage after a certain point of time has passed.

Terrible experience for a free-to-play competitive player

The game is designed around upgrades and special loot that is only available via in game purchases, loot crates, etc. The game’s purpose does not seem to create an enjoyable experience for competitive players, but rather to get players to purchase their frankly ridiculously priced in-game items. I am amongst the top 2-5% of players with Level 10, most of my opponents are level 12-13 with upgraded heroes and items. Mind you, I estimate this would cost on the order of thousands of dollars. This means that my opponents have an overwhelming advantage in fights. But on a pure skill basis, with equal stats, I would be winning close to every match at this level, and be amongst the top players in the world. This would not be much of an issue if I could reasonably acquire levels, coins, heroes, items in due time. But there in-game economy is so artificially scarce and ridiculous, I genuinely think I would die of old age and rot before I would get to level 13 as a free-to-play player. I would more inclined to pay upfront for this game than to go up against people who spend thousands of more dollars on this game and have such an unfair advantage. This is a problem that Nekki creates for their game, and the only solution to that problem is to pay them significant amount of money. Is this a revenue thing? Is Nekki profitable? Is this purely developer greed?

YES but NO !!

Dear Nekki, first off I want to start by thanking all the people who worked together to create this game. By far the best combat game and most realistic, I just have one issue. For the ShadowFight3, I noticed there was an “online” mode but not really online. A lot of people had a thing or two to say about it, shadowfight4 was advertised as a PvP however I have yet to come across it. I also realized the game was updated into having the player use existing characters in the game, without the option to create your own. Amazing new skills and fighting abilities. However the greatest downfall in this game is how they took away the option to equip or unequip weapons. So you are forced to use a character who doesn’t have weapons and only use those abilities. What kind of confusion is this? We have been nagging for years for the same thing, shadowfight3 BUT ONLINE. . We were willing to pay, but this game isn’t heading in the right direction. And it’s sad to see it become like this, shadowfight4 should’ve not been released. It does not come close to shadowfight3 !! I bet money that a lot of the players would say the same. . Please fix this if possible, breaks my heart to see my favorite game get ruined slowly. I play this more than I spend time on my Xbox . . I have friends who play, and are also obsessed with it. NEKKI !!! Please fix this headache of a problem. Thanks :)
