Shadow Warrior takes the open-ended interactivity that made Duke Nukem 3D so fun and expands/improves upon it. Almost everything in Shadow Warrior is breakable and the addition of drivable vehicles, truly 3D pickups and "room-over-room" levels add to the immersive nature of the game. Unfortunately the game relies on some really racist caricatures of Japanese people and culture that is more offensive than funny. I'm not an easily offended individual and personally loathe all forms of political correctness but I don't see why the developers couldn't have used this as an opportunity to create a character that positively portrays Japanese individuals. Additionally, the graphics were already dated in 1997 (keep in mind this was the same year that the truly 3D Golden Eye 64, Quake II, Hexen II, Turok and Dark Forces II: Jedi night were released) and may turn off newcomers to this title. All in all a fun romp down memory lane but not the a classic like Doom or Duke.

First off this is a mixed review ,
When i First saw it on kickstarter it really looked facinating and promissing and when the trailer dropped it looked amazing and i got as soon as i got money for it.
Firstly i believe the game is fast-paced, but due to the perma-death , results in more slower and more cautious pacing.
Replenishing shields costs scrap metal which drops randomly off of enemies, and it’s extremely expensive to buy your shields and ammo with the scraps, but I only ran out of ammo rarely. The scraps can also be used to exchange for a different currency which allows you to buy items from the store.
The so called "Food Station" that gives you HP is also uncommon and due to this i would die really early , but welll i bought the game yester day only and reached only the last level of icarus so i shouldn't be complaining YET.
I expected to play this game aggressively and not slow passed in a passive manner like pace.
The Starter Weapon is the only reliable thing you will be using as the so called special wepaons have extremely low ammo and you can't even buy ammo for it which is a major bummer and keep in mind , the whole thing has to be done in a single run , but there are teleporters which help pot but if there were savepoints it would be much better.
now about the secondary attack on your starter rifle which is rather effective but if you're in the radius of it causes yourself damage.
I have a decent rig and still get fps drops in game like seriuosly? even during the trasition from one level to another.
I wouldn't Recommend this game right now as there are alot of flaws in the game as of now but i think it might be fixed in the near future.

>implying this game was even fun
