Shadow Warrior (2013)

There are only a couple of things that I want an old school FPS to do: have many guns (that feel like BLAST to use), fast gameplay, level design that encourages exploration, variety of levels, and a humorous tone. What I don't want to have is boring, washed-out colours, a two-weapon system, regenerating health, tunnel-like level design and a story taking itself way too seriously. I am happy, really happy to report that Shadow Warrior is a fantastic example of the former. It does everything right what an old shooter fan wants from it. The guns are varied and each of them has its own, unique punch. The levels (though a bit more linear than the classic, Build-egine ones) encourage exploration for the secrets. The gunplay is very satisfying with many „oh sh*t, that was awesome” moments. And everything is here that is needed in a proper Wang game: bunnies, pixellated anime babes, over-the-top gore, and funny one-liners. I cannot recommend this game highly enough. If you’re a bit like me, and you’re tired of the same old „shooting gallery – cutscene – shooting gallery – rinse – repeat” mechanic, and you want an awesome shooting experience, then you have to buy Shadow Warrior. Period.

The game is absolutely fantastic...I was somewhat skeptical due to the change to the Lo Wang character, but he's OK...not better than the old Lo Wang., though.Do yourself a favor and pick this up, especially if you enjoyed the '97 classic. I'm already waiting for part II

This game finally got it right on how to wield a katana in bad-ass fashion! I'm loving the combat and graphics. Everything else doesn't matter!

So much fun! Great swordplay (AMAZING actually), fun weapons, beautiful level design, sound, everything! A+ Such a nice break from the cookie cutter shooters!!

Funny, action packed and immensely entertaining. This game has pulled off the nearly impossible feat of creating a truly satisfying sword fighting technique in a first person game. Forget Skyrim! If you want Awesome swordplay, this is where is at!
