What also makes cookie clicker better than raid is that you discover more and more unique, complex, and interesting gimmicks as you play it. Raid is just "battle these enemies, now battle these stronger enemies" and "upgrades people upgrades" and that's it. Seriously, there are thousands of indie games with more fun and amazing gameplay. Its sucks to see stuff like raid and other sponsored mobile games get more attention!
Almost every single video that has a raid sponsor They take up a long time of the video They take up 60 seconds of the video Meaning, a lot of waste of time
@@ThatGuy-ky2yfNo, they played the game for 1 hour and made a review based on first impressions. You try making a clash of clans review after 1 hour of play...
Imma be honest, no matter how many times someone says “they make this ad bearable” raid shadow legends sponsorship ads to me are never, ever bearable, it honestly feels like they all feel too “try hard”-ish, meanwhile this video feels like it’s actually infinitely better than any other raid review I’ve seen
The reason why this video feels like it's infinitely better than other raid reviews,is because,unlike other raid reviews. At least the person here is actually honest about the game and isn't saying stuff like "RaiD ShADoW LeGenDs Is ThE BeSt VidEo GaMe Of AlL TiMe11!!11!1!!!" or "It's A FrIcKiNg MaStErPiEcE!!!1!!1!!"And all that nonsense.
@@DanielOduvwu-oo8zi you’ve hit the nail on the friggin head, honestly I kinda figured the raid sponsors were bull from just waiting for a review a few years ago. I know people need the money but with how every raid ad pans out, it just feels both annoying yet also very sad
It's the same issue with most sponsors. Trying to make it "meta", or presenting the ad segment in a style and tone similar to the channel's regular content almost never works. If anything it's usually even more cringy than just a plain reading of the generic prompt they're sent by the sponsor.
But what about the one trillion unique champions and a thousand billion silver bars you get from signing up and the megazillion micro-transactions you get to experience? 😭
I'm glad that the review exists so I don't have to play that game anyways. An automatic feature that makes the game play for the player? Man, even Earthbound's auto-battle feature looks more entertaining than Raid would ever be.
If I have a dollar everytime a RUclipsr introduces Raid: Shadow Legends or any kind of sponsors in the middle of watching the video, then I'll be rich enough to swim the bank vault like Scrooge McDuck.
Its games like this that make me appreciate games like Limbus Company. It comes off as simple, but dungeons in Limbus Company have decisions you have to make in order to avoid the party from either wiping or suffering immense damage from the boss. Some are even tied to certain mechanics to win fights which makes you REALLY consider the options you choose. Makes for a really fun experience honestly since it doesn't boil down to brute forcing bosses
The fact that one of their selling points is how you can skip the gameplay should tell you a lot. They’ve embraced that their game is so bad, people don’t want to play it.
sournale is so based he watches the same youtubers as i do and he has a commitment to credit the music he uses in his videos he is so awesome with that being said you are never going to get sponsored by raid ever again by making this video. that ought to teach them.
I'm honestly glad I didn't criticize the game myself, Sournale helped me a lot about what Raid ACTUALLY is, and fun fact, some youtubers make memes saying: this video is sponsored by RAID, and then there joking, but then somewhere in the next video, they ACTUALLY sponsor the bare bones game. Obvious youtubers are being targeted and making it as if the game is fun.
I own a you tube channel. And i think this video has inspired me to plan a rant video on raid shadow legends and how the game's you tube sponsorships aren't actually true. And in reality,the game's just mediocre and boring as hell.
There's very few mobile games I would actually describe as good. A vast majority of them, whom I have dumped hundreds of hours into, are very similar to raid; very little actual content, extremely long grinds and the only main pull being pretty women. Battle cats is one of the few I would describe as good, but even then it does feature some really annoying grinds, waiting for events, and the staple pull of mobile games, a gacha.
PGR falls in all the thing that people hate about mobile games, sexual attraction, gacha, monetization But that game is the one which does it right, imo, pgr the best mobile game and since it recently got a pc client, mid tier pc game
The tone of this video embodies 'nale's pure hatred for the game and it's company. The shift in tone is unreasonably effective in portraying the sheer lack of positivity that he has for this game. Some of the best video game essay writing out there.
I'm so glad to have Sournale as a youtuber. The editing, the research, the songs (Worldcorp, MF DOOM and Hotline Miami OST fucking slap dude)... Just awesome
So for anyone what's with the obnoxious marketing, here's a summary : In this highly pay-to-win game there's two kinds of players, the plebs and the chinese tryhard (we call them p2w), the plebs are just your usual children and casual players but the chinese are different breed, they spend thousand of thousand of their money just to get best deck/team or whatever you called. Now, imagine you grind and you still getting sh*t on by these type of players, you bored and now uninstall the game making the playerbase keep dwindling so the p2w have no other competition than themself making the game boring or even not worth playing anymore. That's where the marketing team went into play, they keep making these request of endorsement trying to keep the p2w happy by feeding them the plebs.
Legit Developer response Hi! We have received your criticism of our game and we are very sorry about that, we are trying our best to give our players the best quality expirence! Just keep playing and you will see that to progress in the game.
I’m so glad someone has the guts to talk about whatever the hell this game is, I salute you sir Sournale
Playing this game is boring
You re right
A couple of people already done it
You sound like you pay for reddit premium
Royal Pear also made a video about it making it look bad lol

Number go up makes the happy brain juice do it's thing.
all the good mobile games btd6 world box stardew valley and minecraft it not pay to win
i mod minecraft on mobile
Cookie clicker is a simple game , yet its more engaging then raid shadow legends
Cookie Clicker also has that grandma apocalypse which scared me as a kid
Raid has single-handedly caused the creation of automatic "sponsor skip" add-ons for browsers and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise
That is true, in fact, I got one because of raid lol.
@@Neardrop same i just could not
And thus, Sponsorblock was born
And people like critcal is the reason the auto title changers exist
Almost every single video that has a raid sponsor
They take up a long time of the video
They take up 60 seconds of the video
Meaning, a lot of waste of time
Finally an ACTUAL analysis of the game
I actually think Upper Echelon Gamers did an honest review of the game and company two years ago
Muddahar
Scott the Woz did a sort of honest review of the game, although it was really just an excuse to talk about why he doesn't do sponsers
@@ThatGuy-ky2yfNo, they played the game for 1 hour and made a review based on first impressions. You try making a clash of clans review after 1 hour of play...
renn's reviews did an honest review, his is probably the best I've ever seen.

@@Apanblodlate response, but yeah when it comes to channels that try to do what you said, I legit sometimes feel second-hand embarrassment.
Money doesn't buy happiness mfs when they're sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends:🤑
I got a ad from Raid Shadow Legends in the middle of this video
@@bludidontcareironic
what does?
Thank you for playing Raid so that my curiosity wouldn't win me over and made me play it
I tried it on my laptop and that shit was lagging as hell aint worth it
I assume it's so good that you already have it downloaded
But what about the one trillion unique champions and a thousand billion silver bars you get from signing up and the megazillion micro-transactions you get to experience? 😭
I'm glad that the review exists so I don't have to play that game anyways. An automatic feature that makes the game play for the player? Man, even Earthbound's auto-battle feature looks more entertaining than Raid would ever be.
This is why you should always check the comments if you’re not sure a sponsor will appear
the mixing of firecracker and lining it up with the people getting sponsored was really damn good
Before we continue this funeral this funeral is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends
Finally an unsponsored vid. Truly a raid vid of all time
This video is unsponsored until 16:22
If I have a dollar everytime a RUclipsr introduces Raid: Shadow Legends or any kind of sponsors in the middle of watching the video, then I'll be rich enough to swim the bank vault like Scrooge McDuck.
Okay but just remember... it's not a liquid. It a great many pieces of solid matter that become a hard floor like surface.
Getting more money that Raid does for sponsorships i see, lmao.
@@thanatosvorigan4986 Family Guy moments
But instead of pennies, they’re one hundred dollar bills
i demand that you post more often (love ur vids)
Seriously, you should listen to this guy
Real
Please
Its games like this that make me appreciate games like Limbus Company. It comes off as simple, but dungeons in Limbus Company have decisions you have to make in order to avoid the party from either wiping or suffering immense damage from the boss. Some are even tied to certain mechanics to win fights which makes you REALLY consider the options you choose.

project moon mentioned!! everyone dance like a nugget when they get a buff from Old Belief & Promise!!!
Bro shilling Limbus Company after PM sold out. :skull:
I sub to this channel for your good takes on games now you added even more as to Create an good Ending. Keep up the good work
Sournale is actually so underrated he deserves so much more recognition
Finally. Not just what we wanted, but needed. Thank You Sournale.
finally, someone actuzaly speaking out for Raid Shadow Legends making way too many sponsors
I'm gonna say it, Sournale had entered his villain Arc! And now he was roasting bad games!
Btw, good video sournale. Keep up your villain Arc!
truly the raid shadow legends of all time
The fact that one of their selling points is how you can skip the gameplay should tell you a lot. They’ve embraced that their game is so bad, people don’t want to play it.
I've been waiting so long for a another video from you and you delivered
Finally, someone has done an actual review to this game.
sournale is so based he watches the same youtubers as i do and he has a commitment to credit the music he uses in his videos he is so awesome
with that being said you are never going to get sponsored by raid ever again by making this video. that ought to teach them.
0:22 this kid always finds the best songs High Stakes is an amazing song
I love the editing in your videos a ton, I've been watching for about a year now and I really enjoy your content, keep up the good work:)
Raid Shadow Legends gameplay is as expansive as my giggle stick
Raid is the definition of oversponsorship.
For more info, Plarium the people who made this game, own casino type games as well. Soo yeah
I'm honestly glad I didn't criticize the game myself, Sournale helped me a lot about what Raid ACTUALLY is, and fun fact, some youtubers make memes saying: this video is sponsored by RAID, and then there joking, but then somewhere in the next video, they ACTUALLY sponsor the bare bones game. Obvious youtubers are being targeted and making it as if the game is fun.
2:05 I recognize that laugh... the days of the best duo.
I got a raid shadow legends ad before even the video started
I got an actual fucking ad for Raid Shadow Legends on this video
Be for real tho: you wanna cuddle with that sournale plushie
Imagine if Raid Shadow Legends takes down this video for stolen content. I'm not surprised if they do. They just need to keep pumping out money.
I love your editing skills. Is marvelous.
VHS horror videos when?
15:26 Sournale, 90 seconds is 1 and a half minutes not 2 and a half
Never bought into the lore, your channel is really my favorite. I’m glad to be a subscriber
Of all the background music I could’ve anticipated, the Nut Shack theme wasn’t one of them. Banger content as always.
There are very few RUclipsrs that speak out against Raid like Foekoe and you, freaking based that you to criticize the game
I own a you tube channel. And i think this video has inspired me to plan a rant video on raid shadow legends and how the game's you tube sponsorships aren't actually true. And in reality,the game's just mediocre and boring as hell.
Aids: Shallow Ligma
Bro made a whole arg at the end good job
Have this "your did it" sticker
I really love when sournale uses the blobfish
monday left me broken, tuesday i was hoping, waiting for love waiting for love!!
I just remember when they tried to say they didn't sponsor people and that they just really liked the game
worldcorp has gotten into sour's brain
12:56 bro got told to touch grass
Cool to hear High Steaks played during the intro.
10:07 bro when did Radal made this ad? This just disappeared from my memory lmfao
i've never actually seen someone talk about this game in this way
I like how you used Hotline miami music for the mail inspection
Internet Historian was sponsored by it. But the way he puts so much effort on making these little sketches in the middle of the video is just amazing.
when i first clicked on the video and guess what? an ad of Raid Shadow Legends popped up on my screen
9:14 WORLDCORP MENTIONED🌎🌎🌎
The fact they have actually appealing character designs is one of the game's small points of appeal.
Bro's using the "Business Guy" from Piemations in any video he's made
I love the new edited part ( mostly the ~scary irl parts).
A Sournale ytp lmao
finally someone blew their cover
dem YTP segments though
6:33 this makes my hairline crawl back
4:39 Oh no... young lad is turning a foul shade of sarkeesian!
the biggest twist plot in the plot twists history of
When you are reading an email and Knock-knock starts playing.
Sournale fr sounds like at any moment he is going to tell us the definition of insanity
I miss when sournale wasn’t saying no no words, and he used to do cursed mobile adds games or something, but he’s still fun to watch!
ok lowtiergod i will watch this video...after i tell you about raid shadow legends!
I like the new direction you taken you channel this and you stick man video are probably my favourite videos by you
i dont regret checking out this channel after watching the teletubbies video, i love this channel
I was gonna comment that by talking bad about RAID, a Hitman from RAID would come into your house... But then i saw the ending of the video
@Sournale this video is amazing
I shit you not, i got an ad for RAID in the middle of the video.
And again, i shit you not, it looked the same.
7:22 - Nope... I'm knitting a scarf while I watch.
I love watching sournale talk about raid shadow legends whilst dabbling in horrors beyond human comprehension!1!1!1!!1!!1
Truly an unsponsored moment
A Russian RUclipsr already spoke up about Raid, now the English community will know something.
There's very few mobile games I would actually describe as good. A vast majority of them, whom I have dumped hundreds of hours into, are very similar to raid; very little actual content, extremely long grinds and the only main pull being pretty women.

But that game is the one which does it right, imo, pgr the best mobile game and since it recently got a pc client, mid tier pc game
can't lie, this game is legit just an old game i used to play, called summoners war, but with a less child focused art style, if that makes sense
finally someone who knows sw
Dude the Worldcorp music at the beginning was crazy no way
I got a long ass raid ad at the end of this video, niceeeeee
The tone of this video embodies 'nale's pure hatred for the game and it's company. The shift in tone is unreasonably effective in portraying the sheer lack of positivity that he has for this game. Some of the best video game essay writing out there.
I'm so glad to have Sournale as a youtuber.
The editing, the research, the songs (Worldcorp, MF DOOM and Hotline Miami OST fucking slap dude)... Just awesome
Sournale is my favorite mentally silly youtuber who makea da good video
for a thirty second sponsor they get about 2 thousand smackaroons. so of course they would take the bag
The fact that two videos down this, there is a Raid Shadow Legends ad for an in game event, not gonna lie, pretty much scares me
The fact that i got a raid shadow legend ad fron this video is craazy💀💀💀
dude i just came from your slendietubbies video and your puberty hit you like a truck
I like the fact that you make videos on things I wonder about
The first 30 seconds of this video are reminiscent of what good people see after they die
So for anyone what's with the obnoxious marketing, here's a summary :
In this highly pay-to-win game there's two kinds of players, the plebs and the chinese tryhard (we call them p2w), the plebs are just your usual children and casual players but the chinese are different breed, they spend thousand of thousand of their money just to get best deck/team or whatever you called.

That's where the marketing team went into play, they keep making these request of endorsement trying to keep the p2w happy by feeding them the plebs.
Love the lemmino music background, cheers
Sournales voice has changed again👍
Respect to this man for not taking the sponsor!

Sournale your voice has changed, great content as always
11:30 SOURNALE FACE REVEAL?!??? (But actually dude you got a good jawline)
I immediately clicked on the notification to see the newest sournale video
Raid shadow legends "unsponsored" while I got a raid ad 💀
Make an analog horror where Raid shadow legends overthrows God.
I mean, Plarium, the game’s company, is a subsidiary of Aristocrat Leisure Entertainment, which is an Australian gambling machine manufacturer.
Also this editing is an absolute fever dream
