Shades: Shadow Fight Roguelike APK download for Android: how it plays

The game keeps the striking 2D look the series is known for, with silhouetted fighters set against attractive backgrounds. At first it feels like familiar Shadow Fight territory, but within a few minutes the big changes become clear.

The headline change is procedural generation. Levels and enemies are built differently on each run, so you won’t keep replaying the same stages or facing opponents with identical strength. Your fighting skills are tested constantly.

True to its roguelike roots, losing a fight sends you back to the start of the path. The goal is to survive as long as you can and take down every enemy in your way. Everything depends on your skill: you can become an unstoppable shadow, or fall at the very beginning.

Worlds, characters and powers

Your journey spans three large worlds, each with its own difficulty. Along the way you receive a set of powers that are also generated procedurally, and you can combine several of them to shape your own fighting style and defeat the shadow warriors ahead.

You are free to pick your character, and each one has a special power to use in battle. Powers and your chosen fighter can be upgraded over time, and multiple game modes throw different kinds of challenges at you. The game holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating from Google Play users.

Requirements and installing the XAPK file

You need a device running Android 7.0 or newer, and the file is about 232 MB. The game does not work offline, so make sure you have a stable internet connection while playing.

The download comes as an XAPK, a package that bundles the APK with the game’s extra data, so an XAPK installer is required:

• Download the XAPK file from the game page on GNVID.
• Install an XAPK installer app if you don’t already have one.
• Open the file with the installer and wait for it to finish.
• Launch the game with an internet connection and start fighting.

If you get an error when logging in, try clearing the cache and data of the Google Play Store, then try again.
