Now the reluctant hero must become legend through a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to uncover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish evil back into the darkness.

Betrayed and left for dead, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm preparing to push our world to the brink of destruction. Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun Lo Wang as he is ordered to acquire a legendary blade of limitless power by his deceitful employer. Combine the brute force of overwhelming firepower with the elegant precision of a katana to annihilate the merciless armies of the shadow realm in an exhilarating and visually stunning transformation of the classic first-person shooter. The humor and action make the game quite entertaining, so forget what you heard and give Shadow Warrior a chance.Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the classic 3D Realms’ shooter from independent developer Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset) starring the legendary and quick-witted warrior Lo Wang. Often called referred to as the Japanese Duke Nukem, the game had some seriously mixed reviews.

Shadow Warrior has more of a puzzle-solving element than the average first person shooter, but still keeps exploration and combat central to gameplay. Lo also has command of whatever vehicles he finds along the way. Lo can use a multitude of weapons to dispatch his enemies including a Katana, sticky bombs, Uzis, rocket launchers and more. After handing in his resignation he now has a target on his back. Lo Wang (insert childish giggle) is a gun for hire working for a large corporation, but soon finds out that they are engaging in evil activities. The game takes place in a kind of pseudo-Japan and incorporates some off-color humor. It was made using the Duke Nukem 3D engine and has a first person view. Shadow Warrior introduced many game conventions including ladder climbing, freely driving, room-over-room, and multiple fire modes for guns, to name a few. The game has seen 4 sequels and remakes since its initial release. In 2013 it made its way to Windows and was also formatted for iPhone and iPad. Shadow Warrior is an action shooter game developed by 3D Realms Entertainment and published by GT Interactive Software in 1997 for DOS and Mac.
