Wang can also receive tattoos that give him special chi abilities such as shockwave (think “the force”) and healing. With the decision up to the player, Lo Wang’s health, his sword mastery or his stamina and speed can be increased. Thankfully, Lo Wang’s personal stats can be upgraded as well. Even so, every time you confront these enemies they will try both your skill and your patience. There are some interesting designs, but the game’s length (which we will get into shortly) diminishes their value as you start to see the same enemies over and over again. This wouldn’t be a problem if the variety of enemies were just a little more… varied. The game has no shortage of enemies it is willing to throw at the player resulting in multiple instances where just when you thought the fight was over, another wave shows up. The only qualm is that I wish I could have controlled the vertical and horizontal swipes of the sword since there were times I felt I was maniacally waving the pig sticker around worse than George Michael Bluth’s Return of the Jedi home video.Įach weapon has the ability to be upgraded and, trust me, it is a necessity. Cutting off limbs and beheading demons has never been so much fun… and bloody. Of course, my favorite weapon was the sword as Flying Wild Hog did wonders with its gameplay. It does take some time to unlock the complete arsenal of weaponry, but each new weapon becomes a vital piece of survival against the hordes of demons clawing at Low Wang’s throat. From a revolver to a crossbow to a rocket launcher, the weapons are entirely different from one another, but each will come in handy during many of the game’s sticky situations. However, the game does not leave you between a rock and a hard place without equipping you properly. Shadow Warrior wastes no time thrusting you into the oven and cranking the heat up at a steady pace. The care given to the story and its delivery, and the lack of memorable music in the campaign, does not take away from the primary focus of the game: killing copious amounts of demons with style. Nevertheless, once the story started to become clear and I learned of the characters’ goals the voice acting became enjoyable to listen to specifically the bickering between Lo Wang and Hoji. This was another instance of “at first glance” because I believed the acting fell short. Helping make this possible is the voice acting. The story transforms from an action-packed fetch quest to a sorrowful tragedy that will fuel a player’s drive to reach the game’s conclusion. When has the story ever been priority for those? For the first few chapters, this was the question running through my head until I realized how much care was placed into the narrative. I mean, the game is trying to contain the heart of an old-school FPS. At first glance, the story seems like filler. Along the way, Wang meets a banished spirit named Hoji who decides to help aid his venture. Of course, everything goes wrong for our sword-wielding protagonist and before long demon heads are being sliced off or filled with lead.

Two Million Dollars, attempting to obtain a sword by the name of Nobitsura Kage. The comedy is still there, and even shines brightly at points, but it is greatly overshadowed by Wang’s surprisingly engaging journey. Similar to Lo Wang, the entire game follows a more serious tone due to its simplistic, yet effective, story. In response, Wild Hog has kept the accent, but has turned in the “offensive” sayings for a more serious, one-liner killing machine. In the original, his accent and phrases were meant to parody Kung Fu films but were met with controversy as some believed they were offensive to East Asian culture. If this is not your first encounter with the Wang, you are going to notice a sizable amount of changes the most prominent one being Lo Wang’s personality.
