Amazon / App / SHADOW FIGHT 2
REVIEW
This Shadow Fight 2 on Fire isn't the one you remember.
The Amazon Appstore listing carries the Shadow Fight 2 name and art style, but the publisher is not Nekki — and that one detail changes the whole pitch.

Type “Shadow Fight 2” into the Amazon Appstore search and one of the results carries the right name, the right silhouette art, and the wrong developer. That is the whole review, and it is worth stating up front rather than burying.
The actual Shadow Fight 2, by the Russian studio Nekki, is one of the most-downloaded fighting games on mobile — a side-on weapon-brawler with a long tail of updates, content, and a known publisher signature on every store it ships to. The package identifier on the Google Play original is com.nekki.shadowfight2. The package identifier on this Amazon listing is com.shadowzfighters.mobile, and the developer is listed as crusheting888.
That detail does not, by itself, make the app malicious. The Amazon Appstore has long been a friendlier home for smaller publishers than Google Play, and store metadata can be incomplete for legitimate reasons. But it does mean that what shows up under “Shadow Fight 2” on Fire is not the game the search term implies, and a review owes the reader that distinction before anything else.
The art-direction and combat loop look identical to the Nekki original, but the developer field tells a different story.
FEATURES
The Amazon listing presents the familiar Shadow Fight 2 pitch: a side-on silhouette brawler where you trade kicks, sword swings, and weapon throws against a procession of bosses, with RPG-style gear unlocks layered over a martial-arts combat loop. Three screenshots show the recognisable black-on-warm-background art direction, on-screen virtual stick on the left, attack buttons on the right.
What the listing does not show is a developer named Nekki. The publisher is listed as "crusheting888." Nekki — the Russian studio behind the actual Shadow Fight franchise — distributes its games under "Nekki" or "Nekki Limited" on every store we have catalogued. The official Android package is com.nekki.shadowfight2; the Amazon entry here is com.shadowzfighters.mobile.
There is no English long-form description on the Amazon store page, no rating, no review count, and no release date in the catalogue snapshot. The app is listed as free with no in-app purchases declared.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Taken purely on its own terms — as a fighting game shipped on the Amazon Appstore — the screenshots suggest a competent silhouette-brawler clone with the genre's standard one-stick-plus-buttons control scheme. For Fire tablet owners hunting a quick, free time-killer, the install is low-friction and the price is zero.
The thumbnail and store art are polished enough that the listing reads as professional at a glance. Whoever assembled it understands the visual grammar of mobile fighting games.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The brand-overlap is the entire story. Anyone searching the Amazon Appstore for "Shadow Fight 2" expects Nekki's original — a game with hundreds of millions of downloads, a long update history, an active player base, and a known developer. This listing is not that. The developer name, the package identifier, and the absence of any of the rating, review count, or descriptive metadata you would expect from the genuine article all point in the same direction.
We cannot independently verify how this build behaves once installed, whether it bundles ad SDKs, what permissions it requests, or how it handles in-app monetisation. With a zero rating, no reviews, and no description on the store page, there is nothing for a prospective player to triangulate against.
CONCLUSION
If you want Shadow Fight 2, the genuine Nekki release is on Google Play and the App Store and ships with a decade of patches behind it. This Amazon listing shares the name and the silhouette but not the publisher, and that distinction matters. Skip unless you are specifically curating brand-overlap curiosities — and even then, sideload-savvy users should sandbox before installing.
