About This Game

Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the classic 3D Realms’ shooter from independent developer Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset) starring the legendary and quick-witted warrior Lo Wang. Combine the brute force of overwhelming firepower with the elegant precision of a katana to annihilate the merciless armies of the shadow realm in an exhilarating and visually stunning transformation of the classic first-person shooter.

Story


Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun Lo Wang as he is ordered to acquire a legendary blade of limitless power by his deceitful employer. Betrayed and left for dead, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm preparing to push our world to the brink of destruction. Now the reluctant hero must become legend through a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to uncover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish evil back into the darkness.

Features


Shadow Warrior Reborn – A bold new vision of Shadow Warrior elegantly blends classic first-person shooter gameplay with thrilling action, inventive combat, and a contemporary retelling of the hilarious legend of Lo Wang.

Elegant Swordplay – Unsheathe your legendary katana to slice enemies apart with precisely targeted swings or unleash fluid combos and special attacks to cut down hordes of enemies with one swift pass through the enraged hordes.

Upgradeable Arsenal – Utilize every gun in your formidable armory – from stylish revolvers and quad barrel shotguns to explosive-tipped crossbow bolts and laser-guided rocket launchers. Each weapon offers several unique upgrades to increase power, speed, and add devastating alternative firing options.

Mystical Powers – Call upon mystical powers to protect yourself and paralyze your enemies or use their own severed heads and still-beating hearts to bring them to their knees.

- You can play ofcourse different lvl's , from easy to insane and hero style.

- It take around 30/40 hours before you have complited the game on insane mode.

- The surroundings can look great with a good video card.

- Achievements are good and kinda fun to unlock.

- Katana is you weapon in this game but you have also enough other choices in weapons.

- You can unlock skills along the way , to heal yourself , extra dmg , more guns enz.

This game goes in sale all the time for around 3,49.

If you wait for that amount then it's very worth it.

"My name is Lo Wang." - so begins an awesome hack/slash/shoot-em-up journey in Shadow Warrior

Pros
- Guns
- Swords
- Magic
- Demons
- Hidden waifus taking baths
- Cheesy humour

Cons
- Not enough time in the day to game :/

Long story short: Shadow Warrior is an awesome game if you're a fan of the genre. Worth checking out when it's on sale. :)

Simply the best FPS shooter I have ever played... Awesome weapons, awesome enemies, awesome environments, awesome story/dialogues, awesome ending (you will be surprised). Go any buy it!

I recommend playing this game on casual or normal difficulty for the first time... Mini-boss enemies (lieutenants) you will come accross during second half of the game are quite hard to kill even on these difficulties and you will be seeing them quite often.

The only downside of this game is its engine/textures maybe? You gonna need pretty good GPU and CPU (probably both) to run this game smoothly with the best experience possible.... I mean you can run it pretty well even with low-end set up (as I did) but there is something (don't know what it is) that makes you feel as if the game was not well optimized - even though you'll get this feeling only at certain spots in the game.

Tip: Katana is not the best weapon in the game (not on higher difficulties that is) even though it is the coolest one... :D
Upgraded Crossbow/Shotgun/Rocket launcher is a combo that can deal with anything anytime... Don't invest overly into pistol, fire launcher and SMG upgrades.

“I like sword it’s a personal weapon”

Great game and thoroughly enjoyable, a must for any fps fan. Seriously, who doesn’t want to play with Wang all day long ? ;)

Double thumbs up, the only minor negative point is that the heroic achievement is out of the reach of us mere gaming mortals :(

Top-shelf gameplay and controls. Engaging story(+ fun easter eggs) and abilities. Comical characters and challenging enemies. Lo Wang is hilarious. In terms of graphics: I played this game on a potato mac and it ran smoothly on medium graphics.

Final Verdict:

- Worth its $50 price (wait for $4.99 sale)
- Easily on my Top 10 WatchMojo favorite games.

The year 2013 has arried.
A herd of ♥♥♥♥in' ugly demons.
are rushing from the
shadow realm.
Crime rate skyrocketed
Aisa is ruined!
Therefore The world called
Duke Nukem's relative Lo Wang
for the massacre of the demons
Wang is a killer machine!
Wipe out all 1.2 billion of
The pink demons!
However in shadow realm there was a secret project in progress!
A project to transform the deceased Orochi Zilla into an ultimate weapon!

From Nice graphics,creepy atmosphere,joyful violence,nice music,funny dialogues and cookies and lovely characters to a surprisingly very good story and most important of all the best oldschool shooter gameplay in the last maybe decade and the perfect swordplay,Shadow Warrior is surprisingly excellent in every aspect!However the main weak point is the repetitive level design,all areas are pretty much the same.
Im so happy I bought this game!DO NOT MISS THIS!

It is fun in shorts bursts. I went in there expecting to play from start to finish, but it's too repetitive. You wil enjoy the first 4 hours or so, but then it's just more of the same. I honestly wouldn't buy it, unless you can put it off for a while and then come back to it.

Love this game, made me pre-order Shadow Warrior 2. If you liked Doom (2016), you'll definitely like this.
Story isn't anything amazing, but this game is about the gameplay. Just shooting enemies like the old times is the best part.

Graphically, the game looks very good for a 2013 game.
One thing I noticed on the first launch of the game is that the FPS went sky high. I was getting like 1000+ fps with my GTX 1080. My GPU didn't like it and started sounding like an airplane. So you have to enable V-Sync or you will get hardware problems.

TL:DR:

Game is very enjoyable but enable V-Sync or your pc will hate it.

Game gets very old quickly and turns into the Serious Sam design of advance to another mob of monster and "here have some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t positioning of exploding green bomb to lower your health" cheap shots. The mechanics are good but the pacing and design gets boring. Rating: 3/5
