Shadow Fight 3 is an action-RPG fighting game developed by Nekki. It was announced in April 2016 with an expected release in fall that year.[2]. After extensive beta-testing, the game was released in Canada[3] on July 17, 2017, in India on October 27, 2017, and later worldwide on November 16, 2017.[4]

Unlike its predecessors, Shadow Fight 3 does not utilize silhouettes to represent fighters. Instead, they are rendered as life-like three-dimensional characters in a richly animated environment. Players build up a gauge during combat, allowing to temporarily enter 'Shadow Form'. This allows them to use shadow abilities, shadow abilities are based of what armour you use what weapons and what faction you are in. rare weapons and armour all share the same shadow ability in each chapter but legendary and epic weapons have unique shadow abilities

Shadow Fight 3 is available in English, German, French, Russian, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Hindi.

The game takes place years after the events of Shadow Fight 2. Three factions exist; the player starts the game in Legion, which uses mostly European weapons like swords and hammers and has slow but powerful attacks. Later they escape to Dynasty, which has a faster, more acrobatic fighting style and uses weapons from around Asia like nunchaku and guandao. The final main faction is Heralds, who have more precise attacks and mostly Japanese weaponry like naginata and katana (of which two variants exist: normal katana and ones used in a manner similar to iaidō).

gollark: You could just do something like `repeat sleep() until os.epoch "utc" > initial_utc_timestamp + length * 1000`.
gollark: Also, you can just stop it after n seconds, presumably.
gollark: The AI is very optimal. I've improved it slightly.
