Shadowgun Legends

> 1 / 10

Honestly, Shadowgun is still one of my favorite mobile games to date, which was released back in 2011. Developed by Madfinger games, who have multiple award-winning titles. Like Shadowgun: Deadzone, Dead Trigger and Unkilled. However, for 2017 they’re getting back to what we all love. It’s called Shadowgun Legends, and this is the game I’m most looking forward to. Described as the first persistent-world FPS title for mobile. It takes place nearly 30 years after the original, where players will get to control their own Shadowgun Warrior in intense battles. There will be co-op, multiplayer and much more in an effort to fight off the Alien race coming to destroy humanity. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at the first gameplay video. It’s incredible. Shadowgun Legends isn’t even out yet but has already started winning awards. There is no release date at this time, but it should be here soon enough sometime in 2017. My NVIDIA Shield is ready, and so am I.
