#BEST SHADOW WARRIOR GAME UPGRADE#
Your standard FPS affair is all on display, but each weapon is given a bit more oomph thanks to a simple upgrade system usable via the money you find lying on the ground and in chests. Though Wang’s journey is a long and hard one, he was thankfully blessed with a girthy arsenal with which to penetrate his enemies. The aforementioned banter with Hoji took a while to grow on me, but by the end of the game I found myself looking forward to their quick quips more often than not, and was happy with Flying Wild Hog’s decision to bring the little demon along for the ride. He drops more frequent (and funny) one-liners than Duke Nukem ever did. While he isn’t quite as obsessed with his wang as he once was, he still cracks wise to great delight during firefights, while watching rabbits mate (oh yeah, that’s still a thing), and more. Lo Wang’s humor has changed a bit (I won’t say “matured”) since the ’90s original, but he’s hardly tame. The story - while silly - is fairly engaging, and is told through absolutely beautiful graphic cutscenes and the often-amusing-but-sometimes-painful banter between Wang and Hoji. And while the ’90s might not be back, this game gets us pretty damn close.įollowing a weapon sale gone bad, Zilla Industries private security guard Lo Wang spends the next 16 hours traversing various locales as he fends off demons big and small and collects the missing pieces of a magical sword with the help of his demonic sidekick, Hoji. Why would you change what is already perfect?!Īnd then I got up off the floor and actually played the damn game. And like anybody who loves something, the thought of anyone messing with the object of my affection made me throw a fit. Even more unrefined than his not-so-distant relative Duke, Wang was little more than a vehicle for penis jokes, potty humor, and awful Asian-stereotyping and I absolutely adored him.
#BEST SHADOW WARRIOR GAME PC#
If PC gaming in the ’90s was a lawless frontier, then Lo Wang was its Billy the Kid. You see, I have an unnatural (probably unhealthy) love for Lo Wang.
My ’90s PC elitism kicked in, my fingers went into my ears, and I yelled “na na na na na I can’t hear you” in a desperate attempt to avoid sullying my nostalgia for Lo Wang’s first epic journey. An enormous fan of the 3D Realms original, I was an instant skeptic when news of a more “modern” reboot first hit. This Shadow Warrior was never going to be an easy sell for me.
