Build engine nostalgia

Weird. I only played Duke Nukem 3D and no other Build engine games before Shadow Warrior. Yet, Shadow Warrior somehow made me feel like I was reliving fond memories of simpler, happier times. I confess. I started to play because I have fond memories of booties in Duke Nukem 3D and I knew there are some in Shadow Warrior. There are a few girl npc in the game, fully voiced even, though entirely for minor comical effect. What got me hooked on the game turned out to be the grenade launcher. Despite being one of the easiest weapons to kill yourself with and one of the harder ones to use on enemies, I found a lot of fun, natural ways to use the grenade launcher. This is the strength of Shadow Warrior: how well the levels are put together. Even in modern day AAA games, grenades often feel like an afterthought, with limited opportunities to use them naturally. There are so many places in Shadow Warrior that make you think, "I need to lob some grenades!" Into windows. Around corners. Over obstacles. In the ugly face of cheap-ass, fireball-firing, insta-kill, cloaked ninjas. Between grenade fun, there are eight other weapons to play around with. A sword that slice enemy into meat chunks like that guy in Resident Evil 1 movie. Dual wielding Uzis that gave me a Neo vibe. A rocket launcher that can fire a nuclear missile. An orc head that can unlease different patterns of burning depending on which of three holes in the back of its skull you stick your finger into. Yeah. In addition to killing the shit out of the baddies, you will spend a lot of time looking for secrets, solving intuitive puzzles, swimming, platforming, avoiding volcanic rocks and sumo farts. They are diverse and fun. Even the platforming is fun, and I don't like platforming in any game. And everything feels so smooth, including quick saving and loading which are instantaneous. So why buy this version when there is a free version? The remastered visuals appeal to modern aesthetics.

The best classic there is.

If Duke Nukem is Asian. Also a TIP: Bind your Quick Save key with F5 in-case you died often. I died a lot from falling and random ghost for some reason. Because if you choose the Restart Opitons, you lose everything, from guns and armor stats. So yeah. Use Quick Save instead.

An Amazing Blast from the Past

Shadow Warrior is my favorite of the build game trilogy. It doesn't take itself too seriously, that's for sure. It's loud, immature and excessive in almost every way possible. It's a shame they don't make 'em like this anymore. Fortunately, we seem to be in the midst of a first person shooter renaissance. Dusk, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin, Ion Fury, Project Warlock and Amid Evil are all exceptional titles worthy of occupying the same shelf as Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior isn't the hardest first person shooter of its day, but it still isn't afraid to kick your ass. It requires constant, unwavering attention when played on the two highest difficulty settings. You're sure to encounter some BS traps along the way and what is a classic FPS without one or two frustrating enemies. Blood has those hands that choke you, Half-Life has Headcrabs, Serious Sam has Beheaded Kamikazes and Shadow Warrior has Shadow Ninjas and Bees. This isn't really a negative. Every FPS requires just the right amount of frustration. It makes clearing a stage more satisfying. Too much frustration, however, can cause a player to up and quit on the spot. Fortunately, Shadow Warrior maintains a perfect balance throughtout most of the experience. Shadow Warrior has a surprising amount of depth to the gameplay without having a multitude of perks and abilities that need to be upgraded. This boring ability upgrade progression system (or however you choose to refer to it) has been used excessively by developers in more recent titles, in my honest opinion. The real formula to complex and enjoyable gameplay is creative level design, enemy variety and unique weapons- which Shadow Warrior has in spades. The only difficulty is in blending all three aspects and ensuring they all co-exist in perfect harmony. Shadow Warrior pulls employs to formula to great effect and makes for an intoxicating experience. Hours upon hours can pass without notice while playing. Do yourself a favour and buy this game.

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux bugs

This version is good, but still has a lot of issues. Firs,t luggy mouse look, second the vsync function when enabled, does not work properly instead makes the game lug a lot, third, the sky has not converted for the 3d look, so could you also fix that? If these three issues fixed, it would be much better port. And if you happend to find any other bug or issue, please, fix it. Thank you.

Game no longer working

I bought this some years back, played and finished it. The game itself is fantastic, one of the best build engine games no doubt, this version no longer works however. I have tried windows 10 and 11. So best to avoid until it's fixed
