87/100

Shadow Hunter: Special Edition is a dark fantasy powerhouse that brings console-quality hack-and-slash action to mobile. The world is bleak and ruined, overrun by demons, and you play as a hunter blessed with the power to fight back. The combat is the real star here—it’s fast, fluid, and incredibly punchy. The mix of RPG elements allows for significant character customization through equipment and skill trees, which is essential because the boss fights are legitimately epic and require real strategy.

This 'Special Edition' feels like a premium package, offering a more refined experience compared to the standard version. Transitioning from the dark dungeons to the 'Altar of Darkness' or the 'Clock Tower' provides a great variety of challenges. Each character feels distinct, with unique approaches to combat that keep the game from feeling repetitive. If you are a fan of games like Devil May Cry or the original Dark Souls but want something optimized for shorter mobile sessions, this is easily one of the best ARPGs on the App Store.

Best app I have!
Sun Jul 24 2022 Kyleraiff

So there’s 3 versions of this game. One is premium, one is regular, and this is special edition. Special edition is the best version because it doesn’t have any in game ads, it’s easier to earn diamonds in game- therefore getting further on campaign mode faster. Also each character is unlocked from the beginning. This edition is made so that there is no pay to win system. Playing pvp on ranked matches there are a lot less hackers compared to the regular versions as you cannot buy any in game content (diamonds, coins, etc) through a jailbroken phone. One mistake I see a lot of new players doing is spending their gold tickets/cards right as they get them. Be sure to save up diamonds and gold cards for a good month or two until you have enough for a decent banner set the next round of the month. No app compares to this game

Great game!

The Shadow Hunter: Special Edition is the best game out of the collection. All characters are unlocked, you can collect and save gold and diamonds to make purchases. No one is a pay to play player! I will say, there is one downfall to this version in which I hope gets fixed. In the other versions you are able to collect diamond dust a lot easier than in this one. It takes longer in this version to collect the dust and to level up gear. Maybe have some ads in the shop to collect dust available a couple times a day after it resets.

One of the best

Don’t know how this game isn’t more popular. I played a lot of mobile games and have only really enjoyed about 2, this being one of them. I like this version cause I’m not tempted to spend money cause I don’t like playing gotcha games. It give out the currency well so you can do a decent amount every day and the combat is really good. Hope the developer keeps coming out with new content! I do wish this game had controller support and a website or wiki to check out all the armor and possible builds but definitely 5 star game!

Special edition vs Regular Lost World
Sun May 08 2022 Kaezox

Only difference is special edition has all characters unlocked and there is no p2w. However all the upgrades, prizes and all is the same cost as regular lost world. In lost world you can p2w if you want to but you have to pay or unlock the prem characters. So get this if you want to have all characters unlocked and don’t want to p2w. Get lost world if you want to f2p or p2w. And in pvp all enemies are bots not real people in all versions. Imo the free lost world version is best unless you can’t control your spending on games.

Worth the money

So, I decided to pick up the base free version of this game to try it out and was overly impressed. Also, a major shoutout to the developers for making this version 5 bucks and you being able to unlock all the characters for 5, vs 25+ dollars on the free version of the game. Only request I have is an addition of controller support but other than that, the games solid. Not once have I been like this has a major difficultly curve, the progression is meaningful.

Best in class!

Downloaded this version over the others due to all the great reviews and personal trial and it is absolutely worth it! All heros unlocked and drop rates seem significantly better for everyday goods and gear. Pretty early in but so far it is the best game of its kind by far and I try everything! Great job devs and thank you for a quality product! Worth every penny.

Controller Support
Wed Oct 05 2022 jeffxblack

Love this game . Started playing on the free version then found this one with all the characters unlocked. It’s great time killing just running thru dungeons! I just got a Backbone controller and would love to be able to change my controls. You can use it but you have to figure out what button does what soooo PLEASE ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE 🙏🏽

Waste of Time
Mon Jul 28 2025 XxDBEASTxX

Gameplay is cool but the game is ultimately a waste of time. I was only able to reach the 3rd story before the game got to hard with my current gear. You need to have the best gear in order to progress but it’s impossible unless you pay. Don’t buy this game it’s a major waste of time and you’ll only end up deleting it after a couple of games anyways. Just save yourself the effort and don’t even download this game.
