Fighting games have fallen by the wayside on the latest consoles, but for a long time, they reigned in the world of video games.

They were often the battlefield where players displayed their skills in arcade tournaments or huddled around a television with their best friends. Fortunately, the genre is still well represented on mobile devices, with a great mix of ports and original titles to satisfy punching fans.

Never let your favorite titles of this genre catch dust, and discover together with Talentec our eight favorite Android titles. Let’s start 😉!

Shadow Fight 3

Shadow Fight 3 is the latest entry in the fighting series for Android, and it’s a huge step up in quality. That’s saying something because Shadow Fight 2 was pretty awesome in its own right.

While the second game had a 2D art style where you control a shadow fighter silhouette, Shadow Fight 3 offers 3D rendered scenarios packed with a surprising amount of detail. Your fighters have emerged from the shadows, so to speak, and they look great.

The physics are spot on too – a timed heavy attack with a sword can make your enemy drop his sword and blow him away. There is a full campaign to play and tons of weapons, armor, and special attacks to unlock and customize your fighter. There’s no multiplayer here except for playing other people’s AI-controlled characters, but the focus on delivering outstanding graphics and smooth gameplay is worth it.

Best of all, this game is free to play, although there is an in-game currency you’ll need to purchase new weapons and other upgrades, along with available in-app purchases if you need an influx of coins.
