I never really felt that I was damaging certain enemies despite them getting covered in blood and gore. The swordplay is satisfying when it works, however the gun-play can fall flat.
The game basically just runs you from arena to arena destroying everything in your path. I had some pretty epic kills and close calls during my combat encounters (of which there are plenty). Looking passed the obvious choice to make the game a lessor version of Doom, the game isn’t too bad. Not to mention the studio boasts that is a game that is for a more mature audience than its predecessors. These were probably two of my favorite jokes in the game but that isn’t saying much since the ludicrous amount of fart and dick jokes wore off in the first several minutes. They reference the BFG from Doom and even make a joke about how every modern game gives you a grappling hook just to stay relevant. This is not to say that the developers were not aware of this. Platforming with a new dash mechanic that also comes in handy in combat? What about giving your character a grappling hook just because its the hottest thing in modern gaming right now? Check and mate.

The exact generic weapons that upgrade how you would assume (plus one unique but somehow useless gun)? Check. Hyper-fast gun-play with heavy metal blasting in your headset? Check. Yes the gameplay is fast, yes the platforming requires quick reflexes (sometimes) but the game still needs more work. The game basically falters after the tutorial. Just one of the many yōkai you will absolutely destroy. Not to spoil anything: the tutorial is you gunning down dozens of enemies while platforming down the back of a giant immortal dragon and that is pretty freaking cool. Also shooting demons in the face and watching their heads get blown away never really gets old. The lack of loot based weapons was a huge letdown for me but giving you the ability to upgrade your weapons was a plus. The game controls well and the swordplay is still very satisfying.
This should have been my first hint as to how the rest of the game would be but I was still pretty confident in Flying Wild Hog’s ability to make a fun experience.Īfter the nonsensical opening when the gameplay started I was pretty damn ready to slice open some yōkai and get this ball rolling. Wang claims to have completely lost his mojo as he monologues in his underwear while playing with handmade dolls of previous characters, all while making constant dick jokes. The game opens with Wang, the protagonist, clearly having issues over the last games outcome. I don’t think I ever beat Shadow Warrior 2 and if I did the end of the story was completely lost on me. Was this departure, from what worked so well with it’s last game, the right call for this franchise or should this ninja have been sent back to the Dojo for some more lessons? With the decision of having Shadow Warrior 3 drop the co-op loot based gameplay of Shadow Warrior 2 I was nervous getting into this crazy vibrant world for the third time. Flying Wild Hog’s latest installation of Shadow Warrior has been on my radar for a while.
