Instead, Shadow Warrior 3 throws ‘jokes’ at you with Gatling gun-like pace, and the sheer number of them being fired out ends up boring instead of perforating.Experience the Definitive Edition of Shadow Warrior 3, an ultraviolent blend of fast-paced gunplay, razor-sharp melee combat, and a spectacular free-running movement through a mythical Japanese realm.
It’s also because it’s not managed to up the hit rate on jokes. Partly because I get it, it’s goofy and rude, they told me this two games ago.
#SHADOW WARRIOR 3 DOOM SERIES#
You’d think that three games in, Flying Wild Hog’s Shadow Warrior series would ease off trying so hard to be stupid funny. The general flow of gameplay is great when you’re directly in control, but too often control is needlessly wrangled away from the player for another juddering cutscene and a good chance of a rather lame pun or two. From buzzsaw-flinging crossbows to high powered rifles that explode enemies into bloody chunks, and finishing off a group with a swing of a katana, Shadow Warrior 3’s chaotic intensity can be an exquisite experience. It’s fun to use pretty much all the weapons, and generally useful to switch between them on the fly. Flying Wild Hog hand out a new death-dealing treat on a fairly regular basis, whilst Lo Wang can, when properly charged, rip out parts of enemies and use them as makeshift weapons. The weapon set grows ever more outlandish and brutal. When it gets going though, oh boy does it work a treat. It ends up as a melting pot of Doom Eternal and Titanfall 2’s best ideas, but in a slightly diluted form. These traversal options do add some extra flavor to arena battles when they are viable strategy. Lo Wang can swing across chasms with a grapple hook (‘feels like everyone’s got one’ he remarks when quizzed on it), and can run across walls at set points as well. The parts in between dissolve the specter of monotony to some degree.
The arena shooting sometimes outstays its welcome, with a wave or two more than feels necessary thrown in before moving on. It’s a sensible step back from the more open areas of Shadow Warrior 2, and a little closer to the series’ roots.
It continuously funnels the player towards arenas where multitudes of demented hellspawn materialize in waves so Lo Wang can slice, shoot, blast, and pummel them into meat platters. In terms of gameplay, Shadow Warrior 3 ramps up combat encounters to chaotic levels. That mission will have to go through a parade of colourful and violent demons with a selection of extra meaty weapons.
At his lowest ebb, he finds kinship with an old foe, and they set out on a mission to resurrect Wang’s dead buddy, and slay the dragon. This third entry sees a disconsolate Lo Wang feeling a bit down about the impending end of the world after he messes up killing an ancient dragon.
