About
Shadow Warrior 2013 is a reboot of 1997 game with the same name on it, Shadow Warrior. Setup is pretty simple - Lo Wang, our protagonist in a very specific quest. He is a hired assassin with a mission. He has to buy a very ancient katana with powers to kill immortals. When arrives at the place of the deal, everything turns in quite a disaster. Demons attack and slay everything in its path and Lo Wang decides to cooperate with them in order to bound three swords into one, making this very old and ancient katana a real and unstoppable force.
Even though games setup is in modern days, it's been very firmly connected with old Asian mythology. Shadow Realm is filled with some very famous Asian demons that play key parts in a plot. Defeating hordes of demons is quite fun as you have plenty of ways to do so. Wang can shoot his enemies with weapons like pistols, submachine guns or even rocket launchers (some of this weapon can be dual-wielded) or slash them with your katana. High dependent on controls and patterns can create some unique attacks, and makes killing your enemies a very fun occupation.

Where to buy
Shadow Warrior (2013) reviews and comments
+ Interesting plot, dialogues full of clever (and not) jokes
+ Eye catching areas, although would prefer if they were more diverse
+ Weapon arsenal, all weapons matter
+ Manual saving, which really helps it tougher moments
+ Retro areas and pixelated nude women as secrets lol
+ LO WANG B*TCHES
CONS:
- Boss fights are way too tedious and their hitbox is like a punishment for our sins
- A lot of glitches and bugs, which can really frustrate
- No maps of areas
TIPS (without spoilers):
> Invest in improving your healing from every source possible
> Don't buy ammo unless necessary, there are lots of it just laying around even on hard difficulty (and you have your katana, bro).. besides, weapon upgrades are more profitable
> Don't hope to find every secret without using guide - some of them are hidden in a mean way
> Do not treat revolver lightly, this weapon is a beast (especially when fully upgraded)
> Aim for the head (duh)
