I'm one with my blade and gun. Gives me advantage, three to one. Better run!

Shadow Warrior, a modern reimagining of the classic melee-heavy FPS starring the ultimate Asian badass, Lo Wang, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's $35.99 for the first week.

The way of the Shadow Warrior takes him wherever his destiny leads, but anyway he goes, he leaves a trail of blood in his wake. And you know what? He loves it! Every slash of the sword, every pull of the trigger, brings a broad smile on his red-splattered face. Looking at him, there's no doubt: he is not entirely sane, but his craziness suits him very well. He's the chosen one, the favorite child of the Asian gods of badassdom and terrible puns. He's Lo Wang, and the World of Men, nor the World of Demons never knew another like him. Zilla corporation should have picked another Wang to mess with. Hakkenshootslashbang!

Shadow Warrior, is the fresh envisionment of the 1997 Shadow Warrior Classic, and while it takes a lot of its controversial predecessor spiritually, it looks and feels very modern. But not too modern. This is not a game that would hold your hand or pair you up with a canine companion. This is pure gory explosive FPS single-player goodness we all love and long for. With beautiful visuals, bold enemy design, and excellent combat mechanics perfect both for gunslingers and melee enthusiast, this action-packed title will satisfy your deepest desire of adrenaline and carnage. All that, with a healthy amount of unsavory humor fans grew to expect from Lo Wang.

Deliver pain and puns like there was no tomorrow in Shadow Warrior, for only $35.99. The 10% discount offer lasts until Thursday, October 3, at 4:59PM GMT.

mkell_226: I'd laught too, if it weren't so dang true.

On a side note, the map on the left looks kinda like something from one of the Marathon series.
Reminded me off a map from Doom, and sure [url=http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/E1M6:_Central_Processing_(Doom)]enough...[/url]

My roommate has the Steam version and the only thing I could tell that was different was the way Wang cleaned off the blood.

They didn't tone it down. It's just better. Anyone know what the latest update is?

You're not kidding. I just played through the first 3 levels and I couldn't believe how much fun I was having. This and Hard Reset are the perfect example of how the modern and oldschool can be combined to make a perfect blend of awesomeness. Much as I liked the ROTT reboot, this completely blows it out of the water as far as I'm concerned. (Protip for game developers: no retarded jump-pad puzzles, and totally legit QUICKSAVES!)

You should try out Bulletstorm too, it was done by most of the same people.
I'm surprised they have quick saves. Hard Reset had no such thing and is quite frankly a much harder game. This is still great fun though.

im still amazed that this game pretty much came out of nowhere and was released pretty quickly after i heard they're making it. and its MUCH better than the duke nukem forever game which took 15 yrs to make.

im definately getting an old school shadowwarrior feeling. though id prefer the character model would look more like the original lo-wang

Up to chapter 7 now I think, maybe 6. Either way I should report the levels get a lot larger and more open as the game progresses. You will often find multiple hallways, larger open areas with tons of combat and have multiple objectives, for example. There are a metric TON of secrets and side stuff to discover as well.

Even Hard Reset did not offer anywhere near this level of fun combat and environment exploration, in my opinion. If that game was disappointing for you I still suggest checking this one out.
this game is fucking amazing but it is also kinda exhausting to play, I am averaging about an hour a chapter even though I am attempting to rush through it for review purposes.

I just now got to the start of chapter 7 and had to take a break.
