Genuinely the best $3 I’ve ever spent in my life. When I bought this game, I became unbelievably addicted. I’ve always been a PvP kind of guy, not really into story games. I like action. I like adrenaline. The story here is relatively funny the first time through, but if you’re like me and enjoy the combat as much as I do, you’ll be replaying it on higher and higher difficulties anyway. Luckily, you can skip the cutscenes. When you increase the difficulty, enemies spawn more frequently, they get bigger, and they gain new elemental resistances. The maps are semi-procedurally generated, which I actually love and wish there was even more of. I’d recommend spending 20 minutes just messing with the settings and really learning the movement. Get used to spamming dash. That’s where the peak is. This game is all about the swords. The sword combat is on another level. The guns feel weaker by comparison. You can run gun builds, but when it comes to the peak experience, this is a sword game. I’m currently running Insanity 3. The fun has started to taper off a bit for me, but I’ve gotten well over 100 hours out of it and was discovering new weapons almost the entire time. There are over 70 weapons. Not all are completely unique, but most have distinct perks that encourage different builds. It’s impossible to get everything in one playthrough. I don’t think you’ve truly experienced the game until you’ve played on Insanity. That doesn’t mean start there. Play Normal first, collect weapons, build your character, then carry that progress into higher difficulties. You can fully upgrade all the cards in the game, but it takes a long time. There are real stakes. When you die, your experience level resets. If you’re one kill away from leveling up and you die, it’s gone. You also lose a slice of your money, and money matters. Once you unlock the Forge, you’ll burn through cash fast rerolling perks. If you want to cheat a little, switch to Insanity 7 before using the Forge for better rolls, then switch back. It doesn’t really matter though. The game is about finding that balance between too easy and too hard. When you find it, it’s some of the most intense PvE gameplay I’ve ever experienced. It’s co-op, but none of your friends will understand how peak this game is. Accept that it’s a solo quest and carry on, fellow wizard. And yes, Shadow Warrior 3 is a completely different game. It feels like a wacky version of Doom. They slowed the pacing and made it super short. I wish they’d taken what worked here and expanded it instead. This game has all the pieces to be something insane. Infinite mode. Mod support. Custom maps. It could have become one of the best MMO-RPG hybrids ever made. The foundation is there. The devs clearly had fun. It was successful. I don’t understand why they changed direction. Are the models great? Not really. Animations are mid. Story is mid. Jokes are fine. Combat is peak. Enemy designs are peak. Hitboxes can be a little wonky. You’ll get stuck on a rock sometimes. But if you want the fastest sword play on the market, this is it. Infinite dashes. You can practically fly halfway across the map. I’m honestly surprised there aren’t more speedruns. I genuinely cannot find another game that hits like this one does. Maybe dash sword Light in The Finals comes close, but that’s PvP and not the same. My only real issue is that there isn’t more of it. I want it to be infinite. In a way, it kind of is. After Insanity 7, you can add co-op scaling up to four players. Enemies scale with each added player, so it almost feels like 21 difficulty levels. But eventually they stop adding more enemies or making them bigger. They just get spongier. Would I recommend it? It targets a very specific type of gamer. I know I’m that type. You’ll replay the same quests and they’ll feel different until eventually they don’t. After 100 plus hours, collecting every weapon and grinding alone, you might burn out. But for $3, that’s less than a coffee. Check it out. And maybe email the devs asking them to make Shadow Warrior 4 more like Shadow Warrior 2, because this was a genuinely unique experience in my gaming life. I’ll never forget it. For me personally, I can’t fully express the level of fun I’ve gotten from this game. Maybe you won’t love it the same way. but id at least check it out. Try to push past the wonk, learn ton control the wonk. Most of all, put on some crazy music and lock tf in, this one is a wild addiction if it hits for you.
Shadow Warrior 2: Lo Wang goes to Borderlands This isn’t a sequel, it’s an identity crisis. The first game was sharp, focused, and stylish. Even Shadow Warrior 3 at least tried to emulate that, but it got drifted into wave-shooter territory. This game saw Borderlands and chose loot over identity. I could barely remember the story, but the gameplay was a blast. Combat carries everything, with plenty of weapons to play around with. Swordplay is good, but it’s a downgrade from the first game’s katana mastery. At least Lo Wang himself is still Lo Wang , the jokes and dialogue carry more personality than the plot ever does. I finished the solo campaign and enjoyed the dumb chaos, but this is clearly built for co-op looter-shooter mayhem. 7.5/10 - Lo Wang survives, but the soul was traded for loot drops. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2537573453 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2554121814
Words cannot describe what a WIERD trip Shadow Warrior as a franchise is: 1. The first game's a classic Build Engine shooter. 2. The reboot is a linear hack and slash/shooter hybrid that has its dull moments but can also be really bloody awesome. 2.5 I KID YOU NOT, there is an entire game's worth of story taking place between the reboot and the sequel, that barely gets a few mentions at best (and I would argue that would have been a very interesting tale at that). 3. Shadow warrior 2 is in a sense a Hack and Slash Borderlands with coop and some of THE MOST satisfying and visceral first person melee combat I have ever seen. 3.5 Bloody hell, ANOTHER game's worth of story takes place. 4. Shadow Warrior 3 is a semi-reboot, high quality movement shooter that sheds almost the entirety of its original identity, yet STILL tries to put the entire reboot franchise's plot. Gone is the incredibly visceral swordplay (though there is a sword still present here, I would say it kinda takes a more support role, than the spotlight it needs), gone is the custom visual charm of their in house engine (as the game switched to unreal). Shadow Warrior 3 is a good, no, a VERY good game, and I absolutely loved playing through it from the start to the very finish, but it's not a Shadow Warrior game. The only thing I can say is - Go play these games, they are not perfect. But ♥♥♥♥ me, if they are not fun.
Shadow Warrior 2 stands out as one of the strongest entry in the series thanks to its ambitious blend of fast, fluid combat and RPG-style customization. The addition of 4-player co-op, randomized levels, and a huge arsenal of upgradable weapons gives it unmatched replay value. It improves on the linear formula of its predecessor and offers more freedom than Shadow Warrior 3, making it the most dynamic and engaging game in the trilogy
