Achieving an average of 1.5 million daily active users is an accomplishment in itself, but add that to the figure of 35 million downloads across iOS and Android devices and you’ve got yourself an unstoppable combination. Not only do these stats reveal that the game has download appeal in the App Store, but also that once downloaded users are loving what they’ve just installed. Shadow Fight 2 is the latest creation from the infamous mobile developer and publisher Nekki, offering players the chance to thrown down in epic ninja battles.
This new app combines two of my favourite gaming styles – combat gameplay with a few RPG elements thrown into the mix. As you fight to diminish your enemy’s health bar, using your joystick and kick/punch buttons, you’re taken back to the ‘Tekken’ or ‘Street Fighter’ days, with a walk down memory lane. The RPG elements of the game are very well-done, providing a captivating story that motivates you to make your character the best warrior in the world, without interfering with the mechanics of the game.
Co-founder and CEO of Nekki, Dmitry Terekhin, is excited about the promising figures, saying “We are thrilled to see such an enthusiastic reception for Shadow Fight 2, allowing us to reach 35 million downloads in under four months. Our goal is to always create games that we want to play, and we know we’ve gotten it right when our community of loyal and vocal fans use the power of word-of-mouth to propel our games to the top of the charts.”
If you love combat games that actually offer a challenge, you’re going to love this game. Shadow Fight 2 is available to download for free on both iOS and Android devices.
