It’s a forgotten skill in this sort of game and I figured I was one of the few who still had it. I thought I was the best at finding secrets. There are also sprites hidden in the game – dead characters, in their old-fashioned form, ripped straight from the Build engine. Not a modern recreation of it but the original thing, with giant pixelated walls and a train texture that is almost identical to a wall texture. I found the subway station from the original Shadow Warrior’s opening level behind a wall, which I naturally blew up by shooting a barrel.

They usually contain one of the three upgrade resources and the best ones will have a retro reference or two. Secrets! Yes, number two on the list of things that Shadow Warrior does (mostly) well are secret areas. I don't care about the backstory or sad memory-golems because when I am being told about these things I am not dancing through the armies of darkness, a death-dealing dervish with a sharp-steeled circumference.

Mostly, the plot speeds along like a deranged buddy movie (Wang’s buddy is a camp demon that has attached itself to him), with only the occasional detour into mythology that threatens to suck the energy out of proceedings. That sort of thing has its place but I’m incredibly pleased that Shadow Warrior unashamedly revels in carnage, rarely feeling the need to explain or to question. When I chop a monster into messes, I don’t want its grieving widow to billow into view, holding out a tear-stained invitation to the closed casket funeral. I forget that because these days, even when I’m playing games about atrocious hell-monsters, moral dilemmas occasionally hit me in the face and the reward for my gleeful clicking is images of horrific suffering. Killing bad guys is fun! In the nineties, we were usually supposed to kill the things in computer games without thinking about it too much and without regretting it at all. Here are a few of the things about Shadow Warrior that work well and conjure up memories of the glorious nineties.

I also think it's a better Serious Sam game than Serious Sam 3, despite never reaching the scale of the series and despite the fact that I liked Serious Sam 3. That’s a mark that many modern games miss, or refuse to aim at, and it’s the first reassurance that this is a reboot that understands the appeal of its predecessor. It’s a claret-covered Looney Tunes cartoon, in the style of Evil Dead 2 or Jackson’s Braindead. It’s the bloodiest game I’ve played for a good while, but even on the rare occasions that enemies are human rather than demonic, the dismemberment has a slapstick quality. Shadow Warrior is excessively gory and I find its brand of ultraviolence fantastically entertaining. Heads topple from shoulders and the last demon, its remaining hand held up in surrender, limps and cringes, surrounded by the remnants of its allies. Limbs pirouette through the air like distressed ballerinas, Black Swan’s painting oozing red slugs of viscera in the air. Here’s wot I think.įlesh slides apart, splitting at the lines traced by Lo Wang’s katana.

The biggest problem with the Shadow Warrior reboot is that it isn’t a Blood reboot because if Caleb ever does return to our screens, he’s probably not going to do it in this much style. Two days of carnage later, I’m convinced. I was willing to believe that bringing Lo Wang back was a good idea but far from sure of it.

The ZP-1 PDW fills the role of the Uzi from the original Shadow Warrior.This was unexpected.

PDW is an abbreviation of Personal Defense Weapon, which is appropriate for its use in game.

On the guns handle there is a sticker with the national flag of Japan.

This was likely Heckler & Koch, as the weapon is clearly based on the HK MP7.

According to its description, Zilla Industries had to stop producing this weapon after they lost a lawsuit with a German defense manufacturing company.

Match Grade Barrel: Increases damage by 25%Īkimbo: Alternate fire that inflicts more damage with a second ZP-1 PDW It's also works well as crowd control weapon. ZP-1 PDW is great to use against suicidal Mothers, as the weapon fire rate can keep up with their speed. Because of it's low accuracy the weapon is best suited for medium to short range fights.

It can be upgraded with a laser sight for better accuracy, a match grade barrel for increased damage, and dual-wielding for increased effectiveness. The gun, while lacking stopping power, excels in rate of fire and has a magazine size of 80 rounds.
