I prefer the Dos release
The actual game of Shadow Warrior is excellent and is my favorite out of all the build engine games. This Redux edition is done by the same people who did the Duke 3D Megaton edition and like that game this source port features odd technical hitches where the framerate doesn't feel as smooth as it should, pretty bad mouse lag issues with v-sync turned on and an overall feeling of being not quite finished. It's by no means a bad way to play the game but you can't help feeling a little disappointed that a nearly 20 year old game isn't running completely smoothly on today's very powerful hardware with mouse look that actually feels worse than the dos release combined with bmouse.exe. If running the game in a widescreen resolution is something that is important to you, then this is the version to get. It's still perfectly playable despite the issues I've mentioned. I think the build games look their best at a pixelated 320*200 however, so I prefer to play SW in DOSbox.
Is this helpful to you?
