There are also support items like health kits, flash bombs, gas grenades and caltrops. What this translates into is a linear set of episodes, each one containing about ten levels full of enemies and bosses to fight, and the occasional puzzle to solve.Īlong the way, Lo Wang is attacked by everything from Uzi-toting ninjas to giant bees, and he has an arsenal of satisfying weapons with which to dispatch them, including his bare fists, a katana, shurikens, Uzis rocket launchers that fire rockets, heat-seeking missiles or nukes, and even the head of a demon that shoots three different types of flaming projectile depending on how Wang sticks his fingers into its brain. Lo Wang is out for revenge against his former employer, Zilla, the CEO of a massive corporation dabbling in morally dubious research and black market activities. His name is Lo Wang – both parts of which couldn’t be Japanese, and which basically ensures there’s a new wang joke every five minutes. Anyway, players are put in control of a Japanese martial arts expert for hire. The story is ridiculous, not least of all because the developers either didn’t know one Asian culture from another – or they were taking a poke at people who didn’t know one from the other.
Everything comes together to create a fun factor that few modern games can match. Of the big four games created using the Build Engine – the other three being Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Redneck Rampage – Shadow Warrior is my favourite of the lot. Now that Shadow Warrior has been released on gog.com, I can almost die happy.
