By PlayingAround4Now | Sponsored Review | May 2025
It’s one of the most talked-about mobile RPGs in the world—and now, it’s officially a sponsored game here at PlayingAround4Now. Whether you’ve seen the cinematic ads, heard the legendary narrator, or downloaded it “just to try,” Raid: Shadow Legends has become a powerhouse in the free-to-play RPG scene.
But how does it really hold up? We dove into Raid on mobile and desktop to bring you an honest, strategic, and sponsored breakdown—plus some exclusive tips and rewards for our community.
🏛️ Story & Setting: Dark Fantasy Done Right
Raid drops you into the war-torn world of Teleria, a land under siege by dark forces. You’re tasked with assembling a team of legendary warriors to battle through dungeons, PvP arenas, and an increasingly complex campaign storyline.
It’s a gritty, high-fantasy setting with impressive world-building. And yes—it’s more than just a pretty face. The lore is surprisingly deep for a mobile game, which helps give each campaign chapter a bit of weight.
🧙 Champions: The Real Stars of Raid
One of Raid’s biggest strengths is its diverse roster of 800+ champions, spanning 15+ factions from the noble Banner Lords to the monstrous Demonspawn. Each one comes with unique skills, stats, and synergy potential.
You’ll spend a lot of time strategizing your team—balancing between attackers, defenders, debuffers, healers, and support roles. Some champions are obvious heavy hitters, while others shine in specific roles like Clan Boss or Doom Tower.
⚔️ Gameplay Loop: Grind, Gear, Glory
Raid is all about the grind—but it’s the good kind. You build up your team, earn gear from dungeons, level up your champions, and refine their gear for maximum synergy.
Major gameplay modes include:
- Campaign – PvE missions across stunning regions
- Dungeons – Gear and potion farming
- Faction Wars – Challenge content for specific factions
- Clan Boss – Co-op damage dealing for epic rewards
- Arena – PvP battles against real player teams
- Doom Tower – Endgame content with shifting meta and boss mechanics
Yes, there are in-app purchases. But unlike other freemium titles, Raid provides a decent amount of free content and rewards if you play strategically. And as part of our sponsorship, you can start off with a solid head start (👇 see below!).
🎨 Visuals: Console-Like Detail on Mobile
This is where Raid still blows other mobile RPGs out of the water. The character models are intricately detailed, the environments are lush, and the attack animations feel satisfying—especially in auto-battle fast mode.
If you play on PC via Plarium Play, it looks even better with improved textures and performance. And yes—we streamed it during our sponsored gameplay session, which you can rewatch on our YouTube channel!
