About

Raid: Shadow Legends is a mobile-fantasy RPG game for mobile and PC developed by Plarium Games. The game takes place in Teleria, which has been subjugated by the Dark Lord Siroth. The player goes through twelve levels in single player mode, with a multiplayer PVP mode deciding player rankings. While it is a popular app, the game has gained notoriety online because it is heavily advertised in YouTube videos.

History

The game was released on August 2nd, 2018.[1] A trailer for the game released a month prior (shown below). The game was written by Paul C.R. Monk.[2] According to Venture Beat, the game, "(offers) one of the most unified game experiences in the collection RPG genre. Each of the 300 collectible characters features unique motion-capture animations produced exclusively in Plarium’s in-house studio to create distinctive character traits and personas."



Reception

The game was well-received by critics. Gamezebo[3] wrote that the game's art-style of dark fantasy instead of anime style typical of gacha games. Pocket Gamer also praised the game's graphic quality.[4]

Online Presence

Online, the game has been a sponsor of many popular YouTube videos, leading viewers to get irritated at the ubiquity of its ads. For example, it appeared in a May 18th, 2019 video about League of Legends streamers by Hi Im Coconut (shown below, left) and a JonTron video posted April 15th, 2019 (shown below, right).



On October 11th, YouTuber Foekoe posted a video parodying how ads for the game were all over YouTube, gaining over 385,000 views (shown below).



This has led to several image macro memes mocking the ads, particularly on /r/okbuddyretard (examples shown below).
