![]() Still, there are moments of fun to be had, and I hope Shadow Warriors 4, if it happens, can fix some of the writing mistakes to make the enjoyable experience of actually playing the game worth the time. I would not necessarily say Shadow Warrior 3 is a bad game, but it was disappointing that I often felt like I was playing through a 15-year-old’s video game fantasy. Humor that tries to be edgy overshadows the fun gameplay, and the lack of an intriguing story does not help either. Overall, Shadow Warrior 3 feels like a teenager that still has a bit of maturing to do. So much so it’ll have you lining up to go again. Shadow Warrior 3 has some genuinely great ideas, but it is hampered by a handful of pronounced technical issues and a general lack of replayability.Ī gem of a first-person shooter, an interactive rollercoaster, and one hell of a good time. while it lasts.3DNews - Михаил Пономарев - Russian - 7 / 10Īttack of the Fanboy - Jacques Waugh - 3.5 / 5 So long as you don't take it seriously – and you shouldn't – this mature-rated gorefest is fun. But if you can get past its brevity, gameplay that doesn't push the envelope, and Lo Wang's repetitive jokes, you'll have a good time with Shadow Warrior 3. One last issue: the game is only about five hours long. On a related note, this game is also linear, which means you can't go back to collect items to bump up Lo Wang's arsenal. You'll kill a bunch of demons in an arena, make your way to the next area, and repeat the process (though the maps are mostly cleverly designed). That means you won't like be incentivized to look for these extras much. Those who like to explore to find hidden goodies will be disappointed in Shadow Warrior 3, as there are only a couple of ammo or upgrade boosts you can discover. How they die is equally over-the-top, not to mention the cringy Mortal Kombat-like finishing moves – but from a first-person perspective. It's fun to play around with all the ways you can kill these creatures using a combination of guns and explosives, katana slices, and some magic abilities (like slowing down time). The speed (including double-jumps and strafing) and platform-like elements are fun, and the demons are laughably crazy-looking. But for unadulterated fun, or as a means to blow off some steam at the end of a bad day with Lo Wang's six weapons and grappling hook mechanic, there are far worse games to play than this digital download. The lack of included multiplayer is also unfortunate. But it has some assorted issues, though, and it doesn't try anything new or interesting to push the genre forward. Shadow Warrior 3's controls are easy to pick up, the graphics are colorful, and some of the boss fights are memorable. ![]() If you like absolutely ridiculous amounts of blood and gore, and cheesy one-liners, then you'll enjoy blasting away at demons in this fast-paced first-person adventure. As with its predecessors, the gameplay balances gunplay and swordplay, with mayhem including cutting off heads (or crushing them with your bare hands), ripping off limbs or a spine (and in some cases, using these body parts as a weapon), and other grotesque finishing moves. There are platformer-style gameplay elements, like running and jumping over chasms, swinging from a grappling hook, climbing up some walls, and minor puzzle-solving (mostly environmental obstacles you need to figure out to escape an area). ![]() This is a first-person shooter, with plenty of big guns, but also supports melee combat (mostly with a razor-sharp katana sword), and powerful magic attacks. The only other supporting characters are a sorceress named Motoko and a banished spirit named Hoji (who also helps in the Shadow Warrior reboot from 2013). Taking place after the events of 2017's Shadow Warrior 2, mercenary warrior Lo Wang bands together with former employer and antagonist-turned-sidekick Orochi Zilla to find and destroy an ancient dragon that has left the world in ruins. SHADOW WARRIOR 3 is the third installment in the over-the-top 25-year-old action game series. ![]()
