With very short story, Raid: Shadow Legends still manages to create a world that contribute to the immersive atmosphere even that some characters don’t have any lore. Quests given by the Arbiter doesn’t really relate to the story or lore of the game.

Should you play Raid: Shadow Legends?
Yes, If you enjoy strategic turn-based combat, team-building, and character progression, Raid: Shadow Legends offers those options to satisfy those interests. The diverse roster of champions, each with their unique abilities and playstyles, allows for strategic depth and customization.
However i find the game a bit too greedy on a bit of everything. It requires a lot of space and a good phone to run as it’s best. Demands a lot of your time and dedication to reach even the mid game. The ads of in-game purchases pops too much in your face for every simple achievement you accomplished.
- Visually stunning with captivating graphics
- Engaging gameplay mechanics
- Diverse roster of champions with unique abilities and playstyles
- Time consuming
- Energy System
- Learning Curve
- In-game purchases is unbalanced between F2P anf P2W
- Require an important amount of grinding
- Events are clearly P2W
Overall, if you enjoy RPGs, team-based gameplay, and are willing to play despite the potential monetization aspects, Raid: Shadow Legends can provide hours of enjoyment and a sense of progression. But requires a lot of patience and perseverance from a new player who going to play it without spending as a real challenge.
