Digest State of the Game
Void Raids & Perks Rework update was released 2 months ago. For us, this update has become a real challenge: it was one of the largest in Shadow Fight 3 history.
In this article, we’ll share some information about current state of the game, raids, events, story updates and our plans for future.
Raids
We got much feedback about Raids and new perks/special moves system, and we are happy to know that players like it.
Raid bosses give new game experience, and they also let you to see how your skill improvement and tactical choices influence the result of the fight. Also, rework of perks/special moves system allows you to control and to plan your characters progression better, and it makes your fight style more unique.
Both parts of this update are still at square one, but we’ll continue developing them with your help.
You’ve already met Ruolan the Punisher, Void Acolyte, Underground Wrath and Specimen #14.
We are planning to add new boss levels that will be quite challenging even for the most strongest players. Along with adding new levels, we’ll also change the ones that already exist in the game to make them more interesting and friendly to bigger numbers of players.
Also, even more changes of Raids mode are on its way:
- Matchmaking system.
- Better UI.
- Description of bosses and their game mechanic.
- Anti-cheating measures.
- Void chest and energy system improvements.
These changes will be implemented step by step during summer.
Events
Last few months we were experimenting with events, trying to improve existing ones and to add new ones.
In a new Wolfblood event we added a long-awaited knife set with a new Battlehorn ranged weapon, and we’re glad you enjoyed this event. Also, the Star Tournament took place, in which you competed for a unique Star Liquidator skin. Congratulations for the winners!
In the nearest future, we’ll focus our efforts on the following features:
- New impressive events that present new equipment items and sets. One of such events will be released this month.
- Thorough re-work of our old events to bring them to the new ones’ quality level. The first event that will be re-worked is Sanguine Forest.
- Social events in which you’ll be able to earn unique rewards by competing with other players.
- Re-work of single-time events such as Four Paths or Golden Bamboo to make them more suitable for our usual event pool.
Story updates
We realize that you wait for the next Shadow Fight 3 story update, and we’re actively working on it to bring you the new story experience, previously not present in the game.
Along with this mission, we are also developing other story features, the main purpose of which is to tell you more about the game's lore and characters.
One of such features will be the Journal. It will allow you not only to learn more about the story, but also to become closer with the characters!
More details on Journal and other story-related features will be covered in a separate article, in which we’ll also reveal our plans after completing the next chapter.
Plans
Previously we stated that Store and Leagues update will be the next one after Perks & Special Moves re-work.
Alas, this task will consume more time than we expected. Some improvements that were planned required more comprehensive changes to the current systems in order to work correctly.
As for now, we’re developing a new system that will fix some issues, such as:
- Functionality and UX of Collections menu.
- Customization of non-collection items.
- Rarity that doesn’t represent equipment progress and quality.
- High focus on sets of equipment that don’t allow players to follow our game’s main concept: «Your Fight, Your Style».
- Lack of benefits of the store in some situations.
We’ll provide more information on this topic in our next articles.
