Description
Lo Wang. The very name strikes fear in fortune cookie-eating Mafia men and small children everywhere. He is the reason most ninja wannabees have sold off their combat sandals to the local pawn shop. Lo Wang is Shadow Warrior. #1 Assassin. #1 Yakuza abuser. #1 Freak fragger. #1 Mutant mutilator. #1 Reason to be scared of the dark. Enter the Land of the Rising Sun and spread ninja charisma like napalm for there are undead sumos to be uzied, samurai to be shurikened, and bulldozers to be boarded. Don’t forget to goose the geishas and make sure your dinghy isn’t hanging out...

From the creators of Duke Nukem 3D, comes the ever-explosive, forever controversial Shadow Warrior, a first-person shooter that takes the Build engine to its extreme limits. Offering a destructible environment with a bevy of weapons--ranging from razor-sharp katanas, 4-barrel shotguns, and even your own fists--Shadow Warrior is sure to satisfy the hunger for some Lo Wang and not leave you hungry an hour later.
  • Shadow Warrior Complete includes the original Shadow Warrior and two expansions: Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon.
  • Drivable vehicles smash through walls, crush enemies, and give you new explosive firepower!
  • Use a powerful arsenal of weapons, including throwing stars, uzis, and 4-barrel shotguns to take on the most outrageous collection of enemies ever created.
  • Hand to Face combat mode lets you kick butt and slice 'n' dice in true ninja fashion.

Broken controls make game unplayable

The contols on this old school game are literally nauseating with the screen jitter and sliding when trying to move. I thought it would be fun to play this old classic, but whoever ported it to PC didn't correctly set mouse controls and key binding. Even when modifying the setup.exe to bind keys, it was a mess. If GOG or someone else can fix this, it would be a lot of fun, but for now, it is useless and visually dizzying.

Linux fix

If the game won't start, navigate to /home/"user"/GOG Games/Shadow Warrior Classic Complete/support folder and make a backup before you edit the gog_com.shlib file. Search for the dosbox section and delete the ./dosbox/ part from one of the lines to look like this: dosbox -conf "${conf_1}" -conf "${conf_2}" -no-console -c exit Next install dosbox with your package manager or in terminal. Now the game should start without issues.
