It turned out that the previous week Earl had quite a bit of trouble getting the game to run and followed the standard rule that after four BSODs, you find something else to do. I’ll get to the “how” and “why” of the name in a bit, but first the “who.” If you’re not sure what that name might mean or imply, go to Wikipedia and read the entry on “ Dandy.” That was the guild name we settled on Saturday night. Watch the Review in 3 Minutes for Shadow Warrior 3.Twilight Dandies. The game is out March 1 for $49.99 on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 and is included with PlayStation Now. Yet its attempts to pay homage to the original problematic title only hold it back and muddy its potential. As a new-age “ Doom clone,” it delivers an action-packed, albeit short thrill ride. It took me just under 6 hours to finish Shadow Warrior 3. Its liberal use of color and particle effects can overwhelm your screen on occasion, however, so be wary if you’re sensitive to tons of visual noise. Its enemies and weapons all boast a strong visual personality. Shadow Warrior 3 is generally a good-looking game. Using the newly added grappling hook along with air dashes and wall runs, you’ll zoom through hazardous yet distinctly unique locations. The platforming is also really fun, focusing more on speed and reflexes than navigation.

The gunplay feels weighty with the shotgun being especially effective and fun to use thanks to upgrades that allow for full auto and no reloads. You’ll need to juggle a variety of threats while keeping tabs on when pickups respawn, as health and ammo drops from enemies can be stingy.
The multi-colored vortex grenade was my favorite, but saving up finisher charges to strategically take out troublesome baddies with those special weapons became a gratifying core strategy for later fights.ĭemon types offer good variety, and new ones are introduced gradually with distinct combat personalities that steadily pile on the chaos. Some enemies will grant you limited-use weapons that are far more outlandish. There are also weapons you can pull straight out of the body of demons with finisher attacks.

At least two of the three upgrade levels for each weapon add some kind of interesting effect like slowing down time for your sniper or adding an electric element to your SMG. Your arsenal of six weapons covers all of your bases: short range, long range, explosive, etc. Waves of enemies mob you in cramped arenas with respawning health and ammo pickups, encouraging you to stay mobile to stay alive. It drops both the semi open world and co-op features of the previous game in favor of a much more linear experience. It combines fast-paced hip fire gunplay with first-person platforming, similar to Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. Shadow Warrior 3’s gameplay also does a bit of borrowing. It’s not as blatantly racist as the 1997 original, but it’s not a story or setting that takes into account any knowledge of the several cultures it’s borrowing from outside of buzzwords like “chi” and “yokai.” Personally, I found it difficult to overlook the mish-mash of Eastern Asian stereotypes on display. But those who’re more amused by a main character whose name is a dick joke might beg to differ. None of the writing or jokes landed for me, and Lo Wang came off as more annoying than funny. Many high-quality cutscenes convey the game’s paper-thin plot, which mixes over-the-top action set pieces with cartoon-like slapstick, as well as a constant stream of character bickering and pop culture jokes. With most of Earth’s population killed and demons freely roaming the world, you begrudgingly team up with former enemies in a last-ditch effort to save everything. You play as Lo Wang, a former corporate assassin who in the previous two games helped to stave off an interdimensional demonic invasion, but in doing so has opened the door to a bigger threat: an ancient world-eating dragon.

As a sibling of the original Duke Nukem, the new Shadow Warrior series attempts to shake off antiquated gaming tropes while keeping its sense of irreverent humor. Shadow Warrior 3 is the latest FPS from Flying Wild Hog, continuing its series that reboots the 1997 3D Realms title of the same name.
