Boxing Fighter Shadow Battle, from Playtouch, is a reflex game built around a single idea: shadow spirits and Yokai keep coming at you from both sides, and you have to strike back on the correct side before they land a hit.
Waves get faster and more crowded the longer you survive, and the points you earn for clean hits go toward new weapons and power-ups you can bring into later runs, so how well you handle the early crowd shapes what tools you have for the tougher waves ahead.
Controls
On desktop, press A or the left arrow to hit whatever's attacking from your left, and D or the right arrow to hit whatever's coming from your right. On phone or tablet, tap the matching side of the screen instead — direction is the whole input, there's no separate punch or kick button.
Tips
- Watch both sides at once instead of fixating on one — the hit you don't see coming from the opposite side is what usually ends a run.
- Waves start manageable, so use the calm opening stretch of a run to get a feel for its rhythm before enemies start overlapping from both sides at once.
- Points from clean hits unlock new weapons and power-ups, so consistent hits early pay off more than a few flashy ones mixed with misses.
It's a short, replayable arcade loop — better suited to a few quick waves between things than one long sitting.
