Shadow Warrior (2013)

A shadow warrior reboot ? Pfff it will probably be as every reboot ... Let's try it ! Ah ! I was sure : Wang has nothing in common with the original, let see the gameplay, Hay, combats are quite nervous ... Oh but this story is good too, Dialogues are very fun, but Eh humour is good enough too, Hoho wang is getting cool to me ! Hey I like this reboot !

Really enjoying the game. Fun gameplay, decent humor/dialogue and it looks beautiful maxed out under DX11. My confusion stems from the fact that there are Steam API files in the game directory. I have a few other games that are both available on GOG and Steam and there are no Steam files in those directories. Is this a normal practice? When I launch the game, it doesn't launch Steam, so I have to assume the files are either unneeded or they have been modified.

This is a decent game, but honestly, it's kinda boring. The level design is simplistic and the fighting gets monotonous.

it is a good game but not as good as the original. it is fun, but not that fun. it feels good to use a weapon but not good like the original. Lo Wang is still a badass, but not badass like the original. there are some secrets, but not so many like the original. And the heal system sucks (d + d + right mouse?... really it is strange). I played both games in 2016... but I still think the original is much better. Still this is not a bad game, it is just not Shadow Warrior.

For a video review go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGUcfhlPfmw The text review doesn't fit in GoG, go to the following link for the full review or look below for one pro and one con of the game.. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Resoula/recommended/233130/ The gameplay is right as rain for this game. All the controls feel smooth and it is perfect for anyone who likes action. With the exception of some occasional puzzles and the drudgery of trying to navigate the hallways of Shadow Warrior with its lack of directional markers to tell you where to go other than making the doorway you need to progress through glow, this game is constant fighting. The first half of the game is very well paced with short 20 to about 30 minute missions where you get to fight through all different sorts of unique areas and meet all the different enemy types. From these weird flying harpy demons, to giant minotaur looking mini bosses, and to rolling exploding green poisonous demonic balls of death. If you're looking for solid first person shooting mechanics and controls, you've found it. The games pacing is probably the biggest con the game has. While it starts out nicely spread and manageable with up to 30 minute missions...the later missions take 40 to about 50 minutes each which are extremely tiring when some of them don't even give you a cutscene to help advance the story, just some basic comedic dialogue with literally zero story progression. They start packing each level with larger and larger amounts of the same repetitive enemies jumping out at you after every couple of steps and it really just becomes cumbersome to carry on. What's worse is that they even start repeating the levels towards the end. You'll run through the same rooms and hallways more times than you can count with no sight of anything new.
