The Downfall of Shinobi Life 2 (Shindo Life)

Shinobi Life 2 at it's peak was the biggest game on Roblox. But due to a series of unfortunate events, like the game getting taken down, and many bad updates, the game slowly faded away and now is a shell of it's former self.

Shinobi Life 2 was Rell Games sequel to Shinobi Life. It's the biggest Naruto game on Roblox and quickly garnered a huge community of fans. The game surpassed well over 2 billion visits, and is one of the biggest Roblox games ever. So what happened? Why did the game lose it's popularity? The answer is much more complicated than what it seems, but to put it simply, the game lost it's touch and people just simply lost interest. The game didn't have any game-changing updates to keep players interested and to bring in new players. And people were quitting faster than people were finding the game.

What is ROBLOX? ROBLOX is an online virtual playground and workshop, where of all ages can safely interact, create, have fun, and learn. It’s unique in that practically everything on ROBLOX is designed and constructed by members of the community. ROBLOX is designed for 8 to 18 year olds, but it is open to people of all ages. Each player starts by choosing an avatar and giving it an identity. They can then explore ROBLOX — interacting with others by chatting, playing games, or collaborating on creative projects. Each player is also given their own piece of undeveloped real estate along with a virtual toolbox with which to design and build anything — be it a navigable skyscraper, a working helicopter, a giant pinball machine, a multiplayer “Capture the Flag” game or some other, yet-­to­-be-­dreamed-up creation. There is no cost for this first plot of virtual land. By participating and by building cool stuff, ROBLOX members can earn specialty badges as well as ROBLOX dollars (“ROBUX”). In turn, they can shop the online catalog to purchase avatar clothing and accessories as well as premium building materials, interactive components, and working mechanisms.

i legit grinded this game for hours and hours a day bro i made over 90% of my friends list just from this game alone, i remember the great times i had with all my friends during the og times with war mode and all and we wouldn't even take it seriously, we would just chill, chat and boss grind, but now none of them play shindo/shinobi life 2 anymore and i only come back for events like the borumaki and kamaki gaiden event. its sad asf and shindo will always be one of those roblox games where even if you did something months ago, you will always remember it, just because you were having fun. I even had an online friend who would always help me with stuff and i would help him with stuff too like hunting fate spirits, scrolls, getting gen 3's, but he hasn't been online for over 4 months.... shindo will always be the roblox game i hold closest to my heart because no other roblox game has come close to how many great moments i made in this game. R.I.P shindo/ shinobi life 2....one of the best games i have ever played😔😭😭

edit: i even came back to revisit my fav game mode shindo storm/shindo storm competitive and it still didn't feel the same as over a year ago 😭

[Arcofplump]

Shindo life was so fun man I remember the fights I used to have before all the oneshot combos😭

[not_tito]

Although with the lack of updates are wild, I still find the game enjoyable since there is so much to collect. It’s like Pokémon cards. And I also have students in the game which is really fun to watch them get insane bloodlines that I still don’t have 😭

[HALLOWD]

What killed shindo is the unbalance in power. If they release a god tier bloodline everyone would just use that and no one would use any other bloodlines so they have to constantly rework and change it

[iansjogss]

Thanks for this video. It was truly sad being there first person and seeing my favorite roblox game of all time getting shut down and then when shindo life came out it just wasnt the same.

[YourBoss_CORP]

What really destroyed the gameplay for me was the change of names. In the beginning it was fine, i could handle, but the reworks on some of the stuff were pretty lame. And not to forget the names of the npcs... Not to mention the fact that the game became so out of hand. There were these powerful toxic no-lifes that had a bunch of OP builds and the devs added so many nonsensical mechanics. They even ruined my favorite gamemode.

[Niixyy]

I remeber 2021, 2021 were my favourite days of hoping on with my friends and playing some shindo life. We has so much fun, spinning new bloodlines, getting tailed beasts and spirit, new elements and op swords but now, none of them play it. I recently played for a little bit because I just wanted to play it again. I made so many memories with this game. I remeber how excited we were to master tailed beasts. The fun has just, disappeared. Seeing all the low amount of players who play it anymore, it makes me sad because i remember the huge player count it used to have. This game has made be have so many memories. R.I.P SHINDOLIFE / SHINIBI LIFE 2 😢😢😭😭😭😭😭

After all the bloodline shit started getting out of hand was where it went down hill for me. Especially with the rell coin shit.
During its peak though, I was there on my own cuz I didn’t have friends.
I had irl few friends occasionally, when we played I used to flex everything I had because I actually played the game. I legit remember spending hours and hours helping my friends grind and teaching them the best grinding strategies. I would literally carry them through everything, war mode, grinding, boss fights, scroll hunting, tailed beats hunting. Everything.

It’s still fun to hop on with buddies but the game is just not the same, imo.

My best memories was when Shindai Akuma originally released and I got it real early. It was so op and I remember abusing it to a point beyond.

When I first started back in 2020/21ish, I saw people with all these flashy bloodlines using all these jutsus I saw in Naruto. I wanted all of that. I thought I was broken with crystal and ice lol. When I got my first tailed spirit, that was my favourite moment ever. I remember directly; it was a gen 2 four tails. I was so happy. I would play this game for hours a day. I would look forward to weekends and after practice to play Shindo again for hours. It was fun grinding bosses with your friends so many times then when you finally get the drop, you are so happy and you instantly put it on your hot bar. The update videos coming weekly were something that me and my friends would watch together and discord, and also streaming each others spins and when someone got something crazy good, everyone went crazy. Me and my friends making multiple twitter accounts to like the twitter posts and get more rell coins is a dear memory. But now? I literally have everything, I'm really good at the game, and there is just nothing to do with no updates. I understand why they left the game, but the last time I played, I was by myself and I was just killing random people and I was still bored. I haven't played in months and I think the next time I play will be for memories. This game will always hold a very special place in my heart and during it's peak, it was not only my favourite game on Roblox, but my second favourite game in general.

They added too many garbage skins who are their own clan and added to much overpowered clans that made every other clan useless. The hardcore mode was super fun but they removed it shortly after.

[Omgsuchacreativenamehuh]

I remember I used to server hop so much to get 9 tails, then some guy gave us a server code to a private server with 9 tails and I got it, or the never ending grind for ten tails.But now the game feels…dead.All you do is grind grind grind, gen 3 drop rates are to low, it started feeling like a chore to get all the new items.

[Sh.Tamura]

They never actually listened to us we asked for war mode that could have given us that back and fixed dungeons like we asked

[-Nah.]

I started playing in from the realease of the game when itachi sharingan was the rarest bloodline i remember every day trying to find kurama since it could spawn only twice a day
and got very happy when got it i remember it to this day. I hope og shinobi life 2 could come back rn everything is kinda easy to get sadly. Back things were more rarer and would actually feal happy when you got something. when you got something.

[FernandoRosales-gn]

Man I stopped playing the game because everything I grind for would either reset or change like the ten tails I had the og ten tails from doing the waves that got switched up like 3 times and then I realized that everything wouldn’t matter anymore

[Vitaliteh]

Game never felt right around 2022. No joke i have 666 hours on the game and most of my friends are from there. Its sad to see the game dead with no update like this. Good times when i used to pair up with randoms to grind for tailed beasts and had streams up 24/7. Id rather revisit that and experience it all over again 100 times instead of this current state

[Jaydunnnn]

Miss the good old days, time to move on from shindo

[thepowerofknowledge]

They should’ve made the races transformations that buff your stats, but that doesn’t lower your M

[ralphyy]

we didnt even get christmas codes this year :(

[crushkiller]

I remember playing this game in its first stages. I remember the hype and the skill factor of this game. There wasnt much content but that was totally fine. The content was at most balanced and there was much potential combos and mix ups you could do with elements and bloodblines. The issue is that they started to nerf everything. I remember using killer bees blades and not even being able to m1 after its special move. They gutted it and made it useless. I kept seeing more overpowered super fast aoe bloodlines and modes. They started to add more non naruto content, at first i liked it because it wasnt much and was kinda funny. However, it became the central point of the updates and the game has just become a sandbox game where they dump tons of random stuff. Having a lot of content is great, but seemingly having 100 bloodlines leaves bloodlines that are direct downgrades to others in the dust. Balance became an issue. The OG gamemodes and bloodlines became lost to time. I wish for the old game to be back.

Remembering 2020-2021 days in this game hits hard fr
