This 3D sports mobile game offers a contemporary take on the timeless sport of badminton, allowing players to engage with the game on their mobile devices.

The game was created by Mason Games, a Malaysian developer renowned for infusing their strategy and idle games with distinctive Asian influences. Shuttle Smash: Badminton League stands as one of their most thrilling releases to date.

The objective of the game is to overcome all opposing badminton players and ascend to the summit of the badminton league. Shuttle Smash faithfully replicates every aspect of an authentic badminton match, meticulously adhering to the regulations set by the Badminton World Federation.

Right from the start, players are presented with three available difficulty levels to choose from when launching the game: easy, medium, and hard

In Casual Mode, players need to maintain a lead of just two points over their opponent to secure a match victory.

However, the dedicated Tournament Mode in Shuttle Smash requires players to score the traditional total of 21 points to emerge victorious in a badminton match. To enhance the sense of realism, players have the freedom to serve their shuttlecock in any manner they choose, and the game takes into account the usual out-of-bounds rule.

For a truly immersive experience, players can select their Shuttle Smash avatars before embarking on their badminton league journey. As they ascend to the pinnacle of the league, players also have the opportunity to personalise their avatars by unlocking new jerseys available in the in-game shop.

Devoted enthusiasts of the sport can endeavor to imitate their beloved badminton world champions, including Viktor Axelsen, Lin Dan, and Lee Chong Wei in Shuttle Smash. With a deft flick of the wrist, players can recreate the signature net shots or commanding smashes that these legends are renowned for.

From lift shots and drop shots to powerful smashes, mastery of these gestures is the key to achieving world champion status.

Moreover, the game introduces a country leaderboard feature that enables players to accumulate points, which contribute to their country's ranking on the leaderboard. This global country leaderboard allows individuals to actively contribute trophies to their chosen country in real-time.

With each match victory or through viewing in-game advertisements, players can accrue coins. These coins serve as currency to unlock a variety of jerseys, each inspired by popular badminton countries from around the world.
