Shadow Fight was available in English, Russian, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Turkish on Facebook. The game was available until a few months before the release of ''Shadow Fight 3''.

Released worldwide in 2014 for mobile devices and ported to computers and [eighth-generation consoles](/source/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles), the sequel is more story-driven than its predecessor. The plot follows a warrior known only as "Shadow", who was once a legendary warrior, renowned for never losing a battle. While seeking a worthy opponent, Shadow accidentally opened the Gate of Shadows, a pathway to another realm, unleashing powerful [demon](/source/demon)s into his world. Reduced to a faceless silhouette, Shadow now fights to reclaim his lost honor and physical body. The game consists of multiple acts, each involving the player leveling up by taking part in battles against [AI](/source/Artificial_intelligence)-controlled opponents, earning currency to upgrade Shadow's arsenal. While the first acts revolve around Shadow battling the demons he unleashed upon the world and looking for a way to seal back the Gates of Shadows, the final part of the game sees Shadow venturing into the Shadow World, where he must defeat an [alien](/source/Extraterrestrial_life) warlord called "Titan". The game also includes a multiplayer mode, where rather than fighting each other, players must work together to defeat various bosses in the Underworld. ===''Shadow Fight 3''=== {{Infobox video game | title = Shadow Fight 3 | image = Shadow Fight 3.png | developer = Banzai.Games | publisher = Nekki | platforms = [iOS](/source/iOS)
