Shadow: War of Succession received very negative reviews, with many critics considering it a low-quality "clone" of Mortal Kombat.[7][8] Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it one star out of five, and stated: "Use the disc as a coaster for your coffee mug - you'll get more use out of it and enjoy it more."[2] In 1997, Electronic Gaming Monthly listed it as the third worst console video game of all time.[9] Internet video game critic James Rolfe called the game the worst of the Mortal Kombat clones in particular highlighting the controls, gameplay, and the lack of fatalities despite the presence of in-game prompts for them.[10]
