Raid: Shadow Legends is a popular mobile role-playing game developed and published by Plarium Games. Your mission is to save the world of Teleria with the help of heroes that you will recruit and form a team to fight against the Dark Forces.
Are you looking for a game that will push your patience to the limit? Say hello to Raid: Shadow Legends, where progress comes to those who are willing to invest the time and effort. Brace yourself for a gameplay experience that requires dedication, perseverance, and a never-ending supply of determination. Get ready to grind one hard-earned champion at a time!
Despite some minor areas for improvement like re-used and recolored characters models, Raid: Shadow Legends undeniably delivers a visually captivating experience. The attention to detail, vibrant colors, and seamless animations contribute to a world that feels alive and dynamic.
While Raid: Shadow Legends offers a satisfactory sound and music experience overall, diversification for music and voice acting for the characters is missing.
Raid: Shadow Legends presents a compelling and immersive gameplay experience. With its strategic combat, extensive character customization, and challenging dungeons, the game offers a satisfying journey for players who enjoy tactical turn based RPGs. With the thrill of summoning new champions and expanding your roster further enhances the depth and strategic possibilities.
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.
The character leveling, skill upgrades, and gear customization provide opportunities for players to shape their champions and progress through the game. However, a steep leveling curves and lucked based gear acquisition, may test the patience and dedication of some players. But Raid: Shadow Legends rewards you quite generously over time which make it worth staying to play.
Beside the Clan boss, Raid: Shadow Legends does not offer much in terms of multiplayer gameplay. As for competition the Arena modes got you covered.
The events are nearly everyday but they are difficult to compete with Cash player. As for updates Raid: Shadow Legends do update the game frequently with new events, champions and good stuff.
Everything that can ease your progression can be bought in the game except champions. The cash shop is one of the most dynamic shop which propose you very good deals with aggressive ads. Making Raid: Shadow Legends a very P2W game.
Raid: Shadow Legends is very active on social media, it’s one of the reason for it’s popularity. As for customer support I’ve heard mix feelings about it.
With a game size over 9GB, Raid: Shadow Legends is a big boy that requires a lot from your phone both in terms of space and requirement to run smoothly with it’s best graphic.
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.
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.

First Released Oct 21, 2022
I remember watching the trailer of path to nowhere , with cool beautiful looking characters in 2D illustrations which resembles the anime “Noblesse”. But what really catch my attention was when the eyes glowing a blue light like the vampires in the movie (underworld).
Your story starts with a rather unusual wake up from a mysterious women. You seem to have memory problem as the only thing that you remember is only your name. After you write your name, the story goes on a roller coaster. MBCC (Minos bureau of crisis control) is under attack by your savior.
She took your appearance for an obvious reason, as you are the Chief of MBCC. Now she’s freeing every single prisoners including the Sinners. Sinners are dangerous prisoners with special abilities that you will discover during the tutorial. Sinners will be the units and enemies that you will encounter during your game play.
After some encounter that you probably can’t lose as it’s part of the tutorial teaching you the basics. Discover later that you also have powers, the “Shackle“. A power that lets you control the Sinners, an ideal power for the Chief of MBCC. At the end of the tutorial you will be accompanied by 2 Sinners namely Hecate and Hela.
The fact that the voice actors does an excellent job to give more depth to those characters and contribute to an interesting story, each Sinner also reflect their class. I love how the game match both personality and class for example Hela is very straight forward and is a melee unit whereas Hecate is distant type and is a range unit.
Finally this is end of your roller coaster ride, tutorial is over and you now have full control in the game. Of course the first thing everyone would do after collecting all the rewards given freely by the game which includes redeeming your codes to be able to pull(summon) for units. Depending on your luck, you may want Reroll to restart over again with better better units or continue enjoying the game with units given to you.
To be able to go forward in the story, the game will start to ask for a level requirement. By now, you should go clear different dungeons to obtain those resources to upgrade your Sinners. The game will give you a lot of energy(stamina) which you will have the sensation of playing the game endlessly. You will spend stamina on progressing through the chapters and try different units that match your play style.
I have reach part of the game where in order to progress in the story, grinding of resources is required. By now you should already unlock all the features of the game including Crimebrand. This is where your units will be different from other people as crimebrand have different stats and abilities. Sinners will unlock them on stage 2 and 3, so equip and upgrade those crimebrand as soon as possible.
If you already cleared a stage before, you can raid it multiple of time which make grinding easy. A very good QOL(Quality of life) that pairs badly a low energy pool and few daily energy supplies. As for the endgame you will need to focus on a team of Sinners of different class if possible, raise them to stage 3, max their level and crimebrand. Follow this advice to avoid losing resources unnecessarily as your account will become stagnant and you will lose a hefty amount of time grinding.
“Later, you no longer obtain energy refill easily from leveling your account as leveling will take more time so say goodbye to unlimited energy unless you refill your energy with your precious hypercubes”
This is where many people will either stick with the game or quit. Managing your resources correctly will let you have powerful units which will let you clear the endgame stages. Fail to manage and your doom having a very slow pace grinding resources for characters for weeks, thus getting bored of the bottleneck of energy that game have.
It’s definitely a Yes, I was happy to see that the mechanics similar to “Arknights”, which is why I understand how so many people was associating both games. The game is fun and require some level of strategy if your planning on using units not in the Tier List. But Path of Nowhere has a flaw that I personally don’t like, low energy pool with high energy cost stages.
Ultimately, Path to Nowhere shackle the players to a minimum amount of gameplay per day specially for free players(f2p). Yes the game is a must play but would transition from a main game to a side game later on. The experience was good but I felt detached every single day as playing a game for less than 5 min only to obtain some resources isn’t the definition of fun. As always i thank for reading till the end, i will see you in the next game review.

Yes the game is very Free to Play(F2P), the game give you access to the whole game and also give enough to progress through the whole game. Although your progress will take more time as you lack energy to grind as cash players.
No it’s not Pay to Win(P2W), as the only advantage as cash player are skins, additional energy and hypercubes.
While there’s no official PC Client of Path to Nowhere, you can however use an emulator such as Bluestacks, Nox and LDPlayer to play the game.

Dark Nemesis Review of a game which is instance base MMORPG in a Dark Fantasy world. Where you will fight your way through horde of monster and equip yourself with the best gears and pets. The game trailer look very promising so let’s take a look at the real game.
We slowly began to forget the old prophecy…We cling to foolish hatred, embodied by war. Mortals blindly rush towards their own doom, blissfully unaware of what the Goddess of Light has in store for them. The Crystal of Light, separated from the Goddess, drifted listlessly through the timeless abyss. The Deepfrosts found the crystal, and displayed it in their museum…Yet the Raven Cult, covetously eyes the crystal from the shadows…Once again, the flames of war shall burn!
That’s all that being told about the story. We don’t know who we are and why we came to the museum? Maybe more will be told in the future…maybe they forget to add the part where you fit in this story.
You starts the game by selecting between 4 class. Don’t worry we will comeback in more details about the classes later on. For now let’s focus on the main plot. After you choose your class, you will have a little cinematic of you making an impressive entry in the museum. The museum is already under attack and it seems the crystal has already been taken. This is your tutorial where you will learn movement, skills, dodge and learn about different type of enemies including a boss.
Once you beat the mini boss, you will enter the lobby aka Mirror City. From now on you will go on a roller coaster of chain quests, the game will guide you through mini tutorials each time you unlock a new content. Dark Nemesis is the type of game that unlocks more content as you level up. The main quests will guide you to instances who represent the core of the game. Which consists of moving from point A to point B in a map while completing the main objectives.
The instances are rather short and some stage will have a boss at the end of it. But Dark Nemesis isn’t all about just fighting instances, it has a role playing part where you will have to look after your character and equipment. This is where the game starts getting complicated as you will unlock more and more ways to increase your battle power. I will try my best to give as briefly as possible a description on those “complicated” things but first lets check out the classes.
As mention before you will have 4 classes but things are a bit different in Dark Nemesis. As you can switch between 3 subclass before any instances. They are normally between 3 categories namely for PVE and PVP. The 3rd class is a more supportive subclass for both PVE and PVP. Here are the 4 classes.
If you pick the wrong class, you will have the option to switch to another class for free later on. So no need to restart the game or create another character if you messed up. Also i noticed that it doesn’t really matter as long as your power level are ok. Of course that doesn’t apply for PVP contents.
You can combine and awaken your set of armor here. Note that you have 8 part of different equipment to upgrade and awaken. Gear will have different Tiers, the game currently stop at Tier 13. Good luck on combining your gears.
This is where you can enhance, refine, augment, enchant, inlay gems, infuse your gears. It’s a complete and solid forge compared to other game in my opinion.
Spirit are your mount and also your weapon form. Your mount transform into a weapon form when you fight. Here you can put Inscription, Morph, Resonance and upgrade your mount. Some mount have synergy with other mount but you will need to unlock them for that.
Those are your pets, they can assist you during battle and will follow everywhere. They offer passive buffs and active skills. You can upgrade them and set a group of them in a synergy formation depending on your build. The more your unlock the better passive stats you will obtain.
Have similar function as your pets. Get additional stats as you unlock more of them. You can upgrade to get evolution points to unlock passives on them.
You have 3 basic skill and 1 ultimate skill, the ultimate has up to 3 phase which you charge up during battle. Early release will trigger different reaction depending on how much charge it has. You can level up your skill, change style, choose talent, level up guild passive skill and awaken a skill.
Join or create a squad of 5 people which you can participate in events together.
Summon and unlock treasures, those relics will help you obtain more passives. Relic can be redeem and will have different grades. Complete those collection in order to get better stats that other player.
This is basically your wardrobe where you can choose which skin you want to wear. You can select different part of a set to wear them as long as you have unlocked them.
A powerful set of equipment which grant a huge amount of stats increase. Complete specific instances to get Dragon Stones to unlock and upgrade the set.
Obtain Reputation for 4 different faction by completing quests or simply donating. Higher rank in donation better items can be obtained by the factions.
Your PVP instances where you can show your skill and fight other player. Arena has 5 different instances:
All your PVE content is in here:
Join a guild, to help each other during PVP event to obtain more point and rewards. You can sign in, donate, upgrade tech tree for passives, buy from guild shop and participate in special time event inside the guild like banquet and kill some monster or collect materials.
A good 3D graphic with a good amount of details on armors and pets. Nearly every equipment has glow effect so you won’t be disappointment in terms of graphic. The Interface is terrible, i felt like Tony Stark entering the Iron man suit without Jarvis to help me understand all the red dots and option available. After 2 week i managed to get a grasp of everything but i doubt some people would wait so long. You can’t zoom in and out or change camera angle which is a bummer, why?
Dark Nemesis has auto play function for most of it’s content. Although you can play manually and that the control are rather easy. Movement joystick on the Left and Skills on the Right, you will also have a dodge and 1 ultimate. The rest i would not call it control as it’s mostly tap a button to upgrade or equip or merge. Some instances require you to control your character manually as it’s power level requirement is high. So to avoid losing time and avoid dying with a stupid AI jumping in the middle of the boss telegraph attack, just play the game manually.
Another game with a repetitive background music playing in loop. Even the music is epic but you will turn it off after some hours of hearing it again and again. At least they do change the music when you go in instances but again it is the same music for all instances. The sound effect are good from slashing sounds to monsters different sounds. You do have some voice acting at the start of the story which were not that bad, shame they did only the first chapters of the story. Voice acting will always get your attention no matter how senseless or boring the story is.
Prepare yourself to spend at least several hours to clear the quests. Note that the daily quests does not takes around 30 min to complete but the list of quests for events does stack up later on. The more you level up, the more content will be unlock and the things to complete daily as you have limited entry per day. The events is the game is like old school MMO, it starts in specific time of the day. So if you want to keep up with the game, you will need to stay on the game or log in during the specific time.
If the game had only PVE contents, Dark Nemesis would have been a very F2P game. But it is the case, despite giving a lot of ways of earning ingame currency(diamonds). It does not really match up in terms of power level for PVP contents. You will have a very bad time in PVP modes where a player can 1 shot you with a skill. So this game is not F2P at all.
Yes this game is where you will P2W. From VIP levels, battle pass, exclusive SS pets and spirits(mount) that will boost your battle power as long as you pay. The higher the battle power, the higher chance of winning in PVP contents. You can also carry other people in PVE contents and be rank top 3 in boss battle, etc, etc. I think you got the idea, the game is designed for spenders so it’s a very P2W game.
No ads.
As mentioned above, the game have a large amount of options for spenders. Some package are worth buying but others are mostly gambling. As many packages and events are chance base which means your not guaranteed to obtain your ss pet or spirit. Those are the packages available in the shop, VIP, Battle passes, tickets, diamonds, new comers package, daily, weekly and monthly package. The shop is a real mess scattered around the game with different currency which is very confusing when your looking to buy something specific.
In all honesty, Dark Nemesis has already doom itself in many ways. The game is a real mess with too much different currency, heavy P2W aspects, locking progression through your level, specific time event make things even harder for players to keep up. Dark Nemesis is trying to do too many things at a time and here is the results. The game had potential to be a really cool game but i don’t think any big change will happened.
Managing your character and equipment has always been a good thing. You will learn a bit more about it in Dark Nemesis as you will spend quite a good amount of time doing it. The team up aspect is also nice, specially when your helping other players to clear instances. The Guild is a good place to meet and help new people around the world and learn some other language if you have foreign friends.
Bug Fixes and more gacha events.
To be fair with Dark Nemesis, i would say at least try it if you like those kind of game. The game is fun at the start and have a huge amount of content. But too much content can turn against you specially in a mobile game. The game does offer a good amount of QOL to help clear those lengthy grind but locking most of content behind limited entry per day is a bad move. I really like the spirit, mount and glowing stuffs but the game became boring pretty quickly.
PVP was a nightmare to play, most are unplayable for F2P unless your a masochist who like watching getting killed again and again. Clearly there’s no balance between F2P and spenders, the gap between them is way too big. So in the end i would advice a skip if your not into overloading yourself with contents to grind everyday. For me it was not a bad game but it was poorly organized, let’s hope we can see something better later on.
