Shadowgun Legends
Developer: Madfinger Games | Release: 22.03.2018 | Model: Free2Play | Download: Google PlayStore, Apple AppStore
What is it? As we at MeinMMO once pointed out, Shadowgun Legends is essentially Destiny on the smartphone. You play a mercenary who is the last hope of humanity in the fight against aliens.
To do this, you complete missions on various planets and shoot a ton of aliens. There’s also PvP in special arenas. However, the focus is clearly on PvE action that you can tackle alone or with other players.
Shadowgun Legends has received over 285,000 ratings and a score of 4.3 in the PlayStore (as of November 2020). The game is well-received.
What are the special features? The big feature of the game is the consistently motivating hunt for better weapons and items. After each mission, you will find new things, and tinkering with the loadout is an important factor in the game.
The gunplay with the various weapons works well, and each weapon has its own characteristics. The shootouts are really fun, just like in Destiny.
Additionally, there are RPG elements. Your characters will become better over time and gain a variety of skills. This way, together with the weapon loadout, you can create your dream hero.
Also cool: Your mercenaries in the game live in a subculture where they are also a kind of influencer and show their shootouts live to the audience. There’s also a rough way of speaking among them, leading to all sorts of funny remarks.
What does it cost? Shadowgun Legends is unlimited free-to-play. Real money is primarily spent on cosmetics. And for comfort features like more item storage.
Who should play it? If you enjoy loot shooters in the sci-fi style like Destiny, then you should definitely give Shadowgun Legends a try. The game offers you hot action alone and in coop.
