Summary

Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the 3D Realms’ cult classic 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 Line

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.

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a warrior battling demons in modern Japan. Players use a variety of swords, firearms (e.g., machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers), and throwing weapons to kill waves of demons and gangsters while searching for mystical items. During the frenetic combat, players frequently shoot and slash enemies, severing their heads and limbs; large blood-splatter effects also occur during these sequences. Combat is highlighted by frequent cries of pain, blood and dismemberment effects, and realistic gunfire. Some segments of the game contain sexually suggestive humor (e.g., “Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a great hand”; “Guess I was just too much Wang for them to handle”; “Easy to get… chlamydia & syphilis, report unlicensed prostitution.”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in the dialogue.
