Once you own a weapon, you also can use gold to upgrade its stats for more power in the arena. To get a weapon, you can bring your earned coins to the in-game shop between fights and pick from several different weapon types. If you're wielding a sword, for example, you'll have a slower fighting style and moves that make sense with a sword, whereas with two daggers, your attacks are much more quick and precise. Shadow Fight 2 boasts hundreds of weapon types, and each type changes the fighting style of your character. Upgradeable weapons, armor, and fighting stylesĪs you fight your way through matches, you'll earn gold that can be used to upgrade your fighter. Though you can get away with button mashing early on, it's your technique and strategy that will help you win against bosses. It's important to learn the moves, particularly for when you play more difficult opponents. But it's the combinations of directions and types of attack that give you different moves.
The control system in Shadow Fight 2 gives you a directional stick on the left with buttons for punching and kicking on the right. The animations are so smooth that it almost seems real as you battle foe after foe. If that seems like a cop-out, it isn't: what Shadow Fight 2 lacks in character art, it easily makes up for with realistic, physics-based fighting animations. Rather than using intricate and colorful character designs and costumes, Shadow Fight 2 uses silhouette-style characters with beautiful backdrops.
