Shadow Warrior

Es muy divertido, pero hay momentos en que se vuelve realmente complicado y tedioso. Supongo que es mi culpa por jugar en difícil en mi primera partida. Puntos extras de mi parte por ese montón de referencias geniales y por Hoji, mi favorito.

What a goofy tone this game has---but it works. I would probably have to play through it a second time to understand all the backstory, though. Anyway, I picked Shadow Warrior up because I was looking to kill monsters with a sword for 10 hours, and I mostly had a good time mostly doing just that. I'll definitely check out the sequel.

Amazing game. Did not expect such a good story behind the extremely well made combat.

I love Shadow Warrior, at first I thought it was just another typical reimaging but I was wrong, although I never played the original the narrative here is pretty solid. The combat is hectic and fun excluding the boss battles and your sword is actually an effective weapon throughout the game which is appreciated. The sequel might have better gameplay but the story told here is leaps and bounds better than its sequel.

Incredible game that was ahead of its time. The humor is crass and sometimes juvenile but mixed with the gore and violence it is wonderful for the right audience.

85/100 Very good hallway shooter that still holds up pretty well and honors the OG Shadow Warrior quite nicely. I like sword - that's a personal weapon.

Serviceable 1st person shooter... Graphics still hold up nice and on a mid range comp it should run smooth as silk on max settings. Combat gets repetitive. Story is decent but slow developing. Narration is horrid. One liners are ultra cringe settings. I mean really bad. Voice acting is garbage. It's obviously a White dude trying to pull off an Asian accent and just misses the mark on so many levels. About half way through I was hoping it was going to end. If it was about 5 levels shorter it would be better. Definitely worth a few bucks.

This game is really good. But it has an issue: the enemy variety is extraordinarily lackluster relative to the duration of the game, and the higher difficulties make enemies far too spongy. You will have seen every enemy by the halfway point and honestly a large number of the enemies are fucking frustrating. There is also a really... really shit boss... and you fight them twice. The other bosses are actually pretty tight though, and the story is surprisingly good. Like seriously I was expecting next to nothing and I ended up enjoying it quite a lot by the end. Overall this game is definitely a solid entry in my boomer shooter collection and is an easy recommendation. Just don't expect a challenge, or at least not a fun one.

YOU GOT THE TOUCH. YOU GOT THE POWER. YEAH! Game is fun to the start. I been having fun cutting monsters with my katana. The demon with you can be a bit annoying but the gameplay is still fun Ps you can kill bunnies who are doing the nasty

Totally recommended game i found it out during sale event. I was shocked that i how did i miss this master piece.

Its a beautiful game the best game ive ever played even its hard at times and it kinda gives you BS odds to win but when you do its worth it and the end is simple but rewarding I recommend playing it on hard for the fact of when you get there it's even more rewarding also spam D D RMB

smooth japan style gun/slasher. it's not bad for how old it is but the depth of field and other settings that was a thing during that time sucks tbh.

A damn fine hack-and-slash shooter, almost sorta rivals with the original SW, but the plot suffers from DOOM 2016's story from how boring it felt to the point where you're wishing for combat while also some enemies are a complete annoyance from how bullet-spongey they are, but all and all, SW 2013 is good.

bald hero or rather Mr. Two dollar million I think This game is honestly one of my fav game

If you want a fast paced action game look no further! Man this game was pretty great and it also caught me off guard with how the skills and passives were were all built up. Really more like a hack and slash with guns and an rpg leveling system on top lol. The combo system was a bit questionable in the beginning but you get used to it pretty quickly as its a core part of combat. I played on hard and didn't really struggle much through the whole game. Was really getting the hang of movement and weapon swapping to whatever was needed. The story was pretty decent and the humor was just at the right level that doesn't get annoying. Game is always super cheap on sale so go grab it if you haven't or maybe this is your sign to finally get this game off your backlog. 100 Backlog Games of 2025: 35/100

I finished my playthrough of Shadow Warrior on Normal in about 16 hours, pretty long for an FPS title. The levels and creature design are nice and interesting and provide a satisfying rewarding challenge to overcome, normal difficulty feels just right for this kind of game. The weapon variety isn't the best, you'll find some of the guns more useful than others (just like the original Shadow Warrior!). Many people have complained about enemies being too tanky seems the main reason was these people were relying only on guns instead of your katana, which is going to be your main weapon a lot of the time as the game progresses to utilize all your sword upgrades for things like health regeneration. The humor is juvenile but made me chuckle in the same way the original did many times, fans of the original will also find many in-jokes and retro graphical references as easter eggs to the first game from the 90s. There's also over a hundred secrets to find in the campaign if you enjoy hunting the extra resources in hidden nooks and crannies. If you enjoy solid FPS shooters with a more late 2000s design philosophy that is different from the original but in the same way a nice return to classical shooter form, this will be for you. If you enjoyed any of the old boomer shooters, like Doom or Duke 3D you'll likely have a blast here especially if you were like me who was a fan of the original Shadow Warrior game, you will find a challenging slightly mixed shooter romp with plenty of mayhem and awesome swordplay with the occasional frustrating segment. Highly recommended for old school shooter fans or modern shooter fans looking for something a bit different and with a slightly less breakneck and more methodical pace. 8.75/10

After playing through the story once, I can say this: This game is more fun than Doom Eternal. I don’t want to turn this into a comparison, though, so I’ll just focus on Shadow Warrior itself. + Great gameplay + Great story + Great voice acting + Good humor I did have trouble with some enemies (Berserkers, specifically), but I believe that's just a skill issue on my part. I honestly don’t know where they went wrong with the sequel—this game is a masterpiece.

18 H - Game beaten on "Insane" difficulty. A piece of advice if you're planning to pick up the game: "When *he* starts to heal, do not stop slashing, you will think you are doing something wrong - You aren't, you just have to keep slashing with your sword until the cutscene starts to play" - Trust me, you'll thank me later. I gotta say, coming from the SW 2, this obviously does seem like a downgrade. Like, yeah its understandable too - the devs learned from this one. SW is rougher, more experimental, many of the QOL improvements of the sequel are not from here and while SW 2 made my brain go full on "catharsis" mode, the strongest reaction the first SW got out of me is "Yeah I am having fun here." So, if you are like me and had the second game as your first experience, just be warned, this one is 200% more jank, but the story is good and combat is mostly decent. My biggest gripes with the game were the weapons: On insane difficulty, the weapons feel underpowered, even with upgrades. Almost every game that I have played on hard has the "you are a glass cannon now" moment near the half of the game, where the player's knowledge of the systems and the acquired upgrades combine to give you the feel of power, but not without the brittleness of glass. SW 2013 kinda never does that. Almost every weapon feels like a peashooter, especially the starting pistol and the dual MP7s, which when coupled with bullet spongy enemies confounds the problem. Only the crossbow, the shotgun and the Katana feel like truly powerful pieces of the arsenal, with the rest ranging from terrible to somewhat lackluster. And then come the berserkers.... jesus christ, the moment these "you can only shoot their back to damage them" types of enemies appear, all the fun potential of an encounter gets pumelled into the oblivion. The bottom line is - If you pick insane difficulty, be ready for insane difficulty spikes that will make you feel like you are actively being nerfed from the start to the very bloody finish. Again, the story is mostly alright, has some intrigue, some good revelations - All in all, it is actually quite fun, though I actually prefer the story of SW2 (moreso due to a surprising amount of subtle character foreshadowing that many people do not seem to talk about at all.) The visuals, for a 2013 game are good, with varied locales, some destructible environments and such. And when the combat clicks (which does happen quite a lot) the entire presentation becomes a recipe for a great deal of fun. Though some assets do seem to be quite copy pasty-though, but again, this is an AA game with approximately 18ish hours worth of content from nearly a decade and a half ago. All in all, even if you do not choose to ignore the higher difficulty, some bullsh!t moments and questionable boss designs, I would recommend picking this game up on a sale. It will provide you with enough entertainment to justify the price.

my entire playthrough was rendered unplayable because i encountered a glitch in the zilla fight where he wont die and just keeps regenerating health forever, i tried everything to fix it and nothing works so now i cant play the game. good game apart from the entirely game breaking glitch

i love murdering demons and cutting their limbs off

Great game with some really good humor.

Katana wielding gun shooting fun
