Take an adrenaline-fueled journey through a mythical Japanese realm in the Definitive Edition of Shadow Warrior 3, packed with new features, and enjoy an ultraviolent blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat, and spectacular free-running movement.
Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again. All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon's egg, a touch of magic, and enough firepower to hold off the impending cataclysm. Trek across a mythic Asian land infused with the magic and technology of ancient samurai, now overrun by the demonic yokai from Japanese folklore.
It has so much which should be great and fun, but it's often more frustrating, buggy and annoying. They tried to tell a story which I usually appreciate, but this one is so stupid and nonsensical I didn't really care. I also encountered bugs like the mouse input not being recognized after longer playsessions and being spawned underneath a platform after I fell from it, only to repeatedly fall to my death until I died. The final end boss is also one of the worst things I have ever seen. It's just a meatball with an almost unavoidable whipping attack, which is bullshit. I liked the first shadow warrior from the reboot trilogy and hard reset just okay, but with the two other shadow warrior games, we'll, they are just not that good unfortunately. There is also too much talking going so lo Wang gets sometimes interrupted by himself as he is talking constantly and there are to many enemies which have invulnerable phases. The damage which lo Wang receives 8s also some rng bullshit.
