The first real shooter for all tegra Android devices

The day has finally come. It has arrived. It's here. Shadowgun, Madfinger Games's excellent looking, console-quality action/shooter is finally here for those with Tegra-powered Android devices



Let’s start with graphics first. In one word, amazing! These are the best graphics of any game made thus far for an Android powered device. The lighting is amazing, there are even some scenes in the game where there are mountains in the background, I live in Colorado, and can tell you they looked frickin real. Some areas you can see a little roughness around the edges but it doesn’t take away from game at all. You can tell they put a lot of attention into the enemies and have excellent detail to them.

Controls for the game are still the traditional floating keys. Your directional pad is on the left side, while the camera button is pretty much the entire right side of the screen. The shoot/action button and reload button also make up the other half of the right side. On top we have our menu option as well as our change gun option. The best part of all these controls is they can be customized. That’s right, you can put those babies wherever you want. I am constantly moving mine around, looking for that perfect fit. Response to the controls is excellent, I have had other games drop the ball in this area, and I’m glad to see that this is not one of those games.

I was playing this on easy and I am still finding it a little on the hard side. Nothing to difficult but, a solid start to a mobile franchise. I can’t wait to finish the game on easy and then give the harder difficulties a run. I’m sure there will be some extra stuff in them that isn’t in the easy mode. Plus I still have a few more secrets to locate in the game.
I can’t recommend this game enough. Solid game play value as well as re-play value. I am most defiantly going to play this game over and over.

For $5 in the Market it is worth every dime and then some. Click on the Market link or grab the QR code to experience this game first hand. If you already have this game, let us know your reaction to the game in the comments section.

This game is a direct ripp off Gears of War and Quake.

It doesn't matter how a game looks... what matters is gameplay and how the controls feel in your hands.

lol. Exactly... I don't like touch screens for anything. Especially typing and controlling things.

This game is a fantastic demo of why games on a pure touch screen should be limited to puzzles or maybe an RPG (nothing with a bunch of action.)

The graphics look fantastic for a tablet or phone game. Controls look like I would get angry at it and throw it at some one.....

Edit: I also love the finger prints all over the screen. By love I mean hate... I clean my computers monitor probably 3-4 times a week just because I can see the little specks of dust on it and uughhh.....
