History VideoGame / ShadowFight2

* MultiMeleeMaster: The protagonist is this. He is capable of wielding any kind of weapons from the rather mundane ones such as [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] and [[BladeOnAStick spears]] to the less orthodox such as [[SinisterScythe giant scythe]] and nunchaku.

* MultiMeleeMaster: The protagonist is this. He is capable of wielding any kind of weapons from the rather mundane ones such as [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] and [[BladeOnAStick spears]] to the less orthodox such as [[SinisterScythe giant scythe]] and [[FightingWithChucks nunchaku]].

* {{Narm}}: The game's intro can feel like this as the hero's voiceover monologue becomes fascinating copypasta.

* {{Acrofatic}} - Fungus may have a large unwieldy melee weapon. He himself however is elusive as hell.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy

* BarefistedMonk - Crane is the only Story Mode bodyguard to fight completely unarmed. He is still incredibly dangerous.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames - When fighting Shogun and his bodyguards -- and it is ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic awesome]]''.
* BattleIntro: all fights with bodyguards, Demon Bosses and Raid bosses feature some one-sided banter.

* BloodlessCarnage - The entire game. People are hammered into the ground with gargantuan maces, slashed with supernatural blades and PunchedAcrossTheRoom by magically-amplified blows to no visible effect other than exhausted - but very much alive - defeat.

* CherryTapping - Theoretically possible if you go into a fight with an underleveled weapon. Takes a great deal of patience and skill though because the AI opponents ''will'' punish any error brutally and "time-ups" will always be in the AIs favor.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard - Much more subtle than most fighting games but it's there. If you are under-leveled for a fight (say with a bodyguard or a Tournament opponent) and you somehow start doing too well, the game starts slipping in extra invincibility frames for them that wouldn't be there otherwise. Alternatively, their hit detection becomes more forgiving and yours becomes ''less''.
* CriticalHit - They do more damage, guarantee a knockdown and take away the MercyInvincibility of a normal knockdown, giving the attacker the chance for one [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown freebie extra hit]].

* DoubleKO - Averted. If you both fall, the AI still wins.

* EffortlessAchievement - Shadow Fight has these. It also has much more challenging ones.
* GalacticConqueror - Titan, the final boss of the main story mode. He is the [[LargeAndInCharge largest character model in the game]], wears powered armor and carries a huge high-tech sword.
* HeroicMime - Shadow apparently. He doesn't speak but his allies and enemies never seem to notice.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: only when a fighter has been knocked down by a CriticalHit.
* LagCancel - The low single sweep kick can be canceled into a low double sweep for extra range.
* LivingShadow - The protagonist is exactly this. While in combat all characters are living shadows, [[WatsonianVersusDoylist in-story]] everyone else looks normal while Shadow remains ... a shadow.
* MadeOfIron - Everyone, given the insane amounts of damage they dish out and take.

* MercyInvincibility - Characters are immune to harm when getting up from a non-Critical Hit, when wall-jumping and when being bouncing off a wall.
* MultiMeleeMaster : The protagonist is this. He is capable of wielding any kind of weapons from the rather mundane ones such as [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] and [[BladeOnAStick spears]] to the less orthodox such as [[SinisterScythe giant scythe]] and [[FightingWithChucks nunchaku]].
* MutuallyExclusivePowerups

* {{Ninja}} - Lynx, most of his bodyguards and *all* the Survival Mode opponents.
* NobleDemon - To the point of TokenGoodTeammate. Hermit seems to differ from the other Demons in that he appears content to just train students and kick ''all the ass''. He doesn't even appear to be a bad guy at all.
* OldMaster

* OutsideGenreFoe - Titan apparently. He is referred to as the most powerful of the Demons ... but he is gargantuan, wears powered armor, fights you aboard a spaceship and the music and aesthetic for him and his bodyguards is very very technological.
* {{Pirate}}/PirateGirl - Wasp is a pirate princess who apparently overthrew her dad and took over his fleet. The crew is not entirely pleased though ...
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom - Or kicked. Or sworded. Regardless of what limb or weapon you use, when Tempest Rage is fully charged and you land a hit? BOOM!!!!
* QuirkyMinibossSquad - Unusually, each of the Demons themselves has a coterie of five Bodyguards who you have to fight through before you can face them.
* {{Samurai}} - Shogun's aesthetic. All his bodyguards are dressed as stereotypical samurai, armed with stereotypical samurai weaponry and use military ranks as their names. Shogun is just that, a powerful Japanese military general.

* ScratchDamage - Unless the Shielding enchantment kicks in, all attacks, blocked or not, will do ''some'' damage however feeble.

* StandardEvilOrganizationSquad - The Demon Bosses that the protagonist accidentally freed from the Gates of Shadow.
* StockNinjaWeaponry - with the exception of calthrops, every stock ninja weapon appears in this game. Shuriken, chokuto, kusari-gama, they're all in there.
* TinTyrant - Titan is a giant in scifi PoweredArmor with a giant sword and he is the final boss.

* UnblockableAttack - Amulet magic, ShockwaveStomp[=s=] and ranged throwing weapons are unblockable. The former are, if properly leveled-up, extremely damaging while the latter generally do ScratchDamage. Both are fortunately dodgeable for an alert player -- unless you're just getting up from a hit. Then you're screwed.
* VersusCharacterSplash: before every fight, there's nifty art of the characters about to fight.

Tropes

* MultiMeleeMaster : The protagonist is this. He is capable of wielding any kind of weapons from the rather mundane ones such as [[coolsword swords]] and [[bladeOnAStick spears]] to the less orthodox such as [[SinisterScythe giant scythe]] and [[FightingWithChucks nunchaku]].

* BattleAmongstTheFlames - When fighting Shogun and his bodyguards -- and it is ''awesome''.

* SamusIsAGirl: The masked assassin Justice is revealed to be the blacksmith May under Titan's mind-control.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad - Unusually, each of the Demons themselves has a coterie of four Bodyguards who you have to fight through before you can face them.

* DragonLady/TheVamp: Widow, without a doubt. Beautiful? Check. Mysterious and seductive? Check again. Dual-wields CombatHandFan[=s=] as her chosen weapon? Check and check. Her male bodyguards are all hopelessly in love with her, unaware that they are nothing more than meatshields in her eyes. Her sole female bodyguard, a more [[TheLadette rough-hewn]] warrior-woman type, on the other hand aspires to be like her one day.

* DoubleKO - Doesn't exist. If you both fall, the AI still wins.

* CriticalHit - They do more damage, guarantee a knockdown and take away the MercyInvincibility of a normal knockdown, giving the attacker the chance for one freebie extra hit.
* DeathOrGloryAttack

* DragonLady: Widow, without a doubt. Her male bodyguards are all hopelessly in love with her, unaware that they are nothing more than meatshields in her eyes. Her sole female bodyguard, a more [[TheLadette rough-hewn]] warrior-woman type, on the other hand aspires to be like her one day.

* FantasyKitchenSink
** The world of Shadow Fight seems to combine every trope ever seen in Chinese ''wuxia'' movies, Japanese ''chambara'' samurai movies and shonen anime.
** Not to mention armor styles from just about every culture in human history.

* LivingShadow - The protagonist is this. Oddly enough, while in combat all characters are living shadows, [[WatsonianVersusDoylist in-story]] everyone else looks normal while Shadow remains ... a shadow.

* MercyInvincibility - Characters are immune to harm when getting up from a non-Critical Hit, when wall-jumping and when being bouncing off a wall to prevent stun-lock loops.

* StockNinjaWeaponry - with the exception of calthrops, every stock ninja weapon appears in this game. Shuriken, kunai,

''Shadow Fight 2'' is a 2D fighting game for mobile (available for Android and Apple) made by Nekki, the creators of ''Videogame/{{Vector}}''. It features similarly stylized character designs as silhouettes against lush background visuals. The game utilizes Nekki's proprietary cascadeur animation technology, which allows for fluid animation of fighting moves and stunts without the need for expensive motion capture tools. The game is optimized for the touchscreen, with nimble controls to maintain a fast-paced playing experience. Players take on the role of a amnesiac warrior who has been mystically cursed to be a living shadow. The story follows him as he travels the land amassing an arsenal of weapons and rare armor and defeating enemies on his way to recovering his memory and his body.

* ArtificialBrilliance: The latter fights in Survival Mode can be surprisingly intense because the enemies don't just hit harder, they are incredibly patient, tactical and murderously ruthless.
* BarefistedMonk - Crane is the only bodyguard to fight completely unarmed. He is still incredibly dangerous.

* BloodKnight

* CherryTapping - Theoretically possible if you go into a fight underleveled. Takes a great deal of patience and skill though because the AI opponents ''will'' punish any error brutally.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard - Much more subtle than most fighting games but it's there. If you are under-leveled for a fight (say with a bodyguard or a Tournament opponent) and you somehow start doing too well, the game starts slipping in extra invincibility frames for them that wouldn't be there otherwise. Your attack misses and you get walloped across the map.

** Most Heavy Melee attack will overcommit you if you miss -- but score big damage if you hit.
* DoubleKO - Doesn't exist. If you both lose, the AI still wins.

* LagCancel - The low single sweep kick can be canceled into a double sweep.
* LivingShadow - The protagonist is this. Oddly enough, while in combat all characters are living shadows, [[WatsonianVersusDoylist in-story]], everyone else looks normal while Shadow remains ... a shadow.

* {{Magic}} - Quite a bit. Enchantments can be placed on your weapons, armor or helmet to enhance your capabilities in various ways and then there are the magic amulets that let you unleash blasts of elemental fury at your foes.

* PirateGirl - Wasp is a pirate princess who apparently overthrew her dad and took over his fleet. The crew is not entirely pleased though.

* QuirkyMinibossSquad - Unusually, each of the Demons themselves has a coterie of five Bodyguards who you have to fight through before you can face them.
