Got more Wang, well partly.

Well, got to about 80% way through, and then started SW 2013 as a comparison. I think what we see here in the reviews is an age demographic difference. Why, well quite simply the two games are very different. Let me cover some areas: Graphics: Whist this ones engine is obviously a step up in terms of graphics, it also mars one of the key elements - sword play - which becomes a mass of garish colors and OTT shaders which is a particular "feature" of most games now. In 2013 you could plan and see your sword swinging and plan to chop certain bits off. Story: Whilst a key point in the first one, this one has no story at all. It also has no memorable characters. There is no driving force to get through the game. Each of the levels feels much like before (mainly as there are only three distinct maps with some randomisation), and they seem to be more in the deathmatch style. Combat: An advanced "crafting system" - another key buzzword nowadays - really doesn't do much. The pistol, machine, and shotguns are useless. The upper weaponry has its use (mainly for the boss (same one * 3). In the 2013 version, all weapons other than flamethrower were good in circumstances. Sword play is basically a mess of color and shaders. Comedy: One of the key elements of 2103 version, lost in part in this one. Still some funny moments and dialog with the hogi replacement can be funny, but cookies are not funny, and most of the humour is bland. Overall, this isn't a bad game, its just not the greatness the 2013 version had in most areas. It feels like the developers stopped playing SW and took a look at the big titles COD/Battlefield type things so beloved of the younger generation and went down that route. Me personally, I prefer the Serious Sam, lower graphics, wacky humour, hyper combat which you can actually see type of game that the first showed than this. Plus 1 kudos to the devs for releasing here though. Me, I started 2013 version to compare, now hooked again!!

A flawed gem

I played this about a year ago and had a lot of fun. Got it for free while I was looking for a DOOM like fix, but this ended up playing more like Painkiller, Borderlands and Shadow Of Mordor combined. While it was a great game I feel like the RPG elements and reloading really water down the experience. You'd probably be better of trying the original Shadow Warrior from the 90's before you decide on buying this. Other than that this is a pretty solid FPS experience.

A Really Fun Game

I really like Shadow Warrior 1 (2013) and enjoyed Hard Reset (the other shooter developed by Flying Wild Hog). I also really enjoyed this game, even though it is more of a "looter shooter" in the vein of Borderlands. It has procedural generated levels that are... fine. The story is... fine. However, the gameplay is awesome. I really enjoyed slapping elemental effects into my weapons. And the, whenever you run across enemies they oftentimes have an elemental weakness. This made for really fun and frantic switching of weapons while dashing and jumping around. Quite fun!

Far from great but good enough

It's pretty much an FPS Diablo. It's fun to play, especially with friends. The humor is on point. What isn't so good in this game is the upgrade/progression system. Skill system is good enough but weapon upgrades are tedious to put it mildly. You get a few from nearly every enemy and then you have to sift through dozens upon dozens of nearly useless upgrades to pick ones that look better than the rest but are still nearly useless. Another irritating part of the game is how fiddly the coop is. Frequent disconnects, no LAN and the arcane sorcery necessary to perform to join a private game is a bad mark on this game. Tho, when it's working, it's a fun game.

Borderlands, with Wang

It’s impossible not to see the similarities between Shadow Warrior 2 and the Borderlands series. They both focus exclusively on shooting, looting and leveling up your character. Gameplay is the most important aspect in a looter shooter, and thankfully Shadow Warrior 2 nailed it. The combat is fast-paced and frenetic, just like in the first game. There are even more weapons, which can now be upgraded with gems (don’t get too attached to these gems, as you’ll be constantly swapping them out and selling off in favor of better ones). Just like in Borderlands, there’s now a heavy emphasis on elemental damage (fire, ice, electrical, toxic). My biggest issue with this game is the lack of variety in the places I visited. There are only a few locations, which get reused over and over again. Although it was never the exact same map, I was constantly seeing familiar sights. At some point I realized I could just run past most enemies and go straight for the objectives. Enemy groups would stop chasing me after a short while, making traversal of large maps a trivial matter. If you’re a fan of Shadow Warrior (2013), Doom (2016) or any of the Borderlands titles, you’ll easily look past this game’s flaws and have a great time with it, either in solo or co-op. My advice is to invest early on in Karma Harvester (great skill for leveling up faster), Serene Mind (mana regeneration skill) and Healing Flame (healing magic skill). After unlocking it during the story, put at least one point in Second Chance, it’s (literally) a life saving skill. As for weapons, I always kept at least one with each of the elemental types (fire, ice, electrical, toxic), just in case.
