Game description
Shadow Warrior is a first-person shooter (with a bit of swordfighting and martial arts thrown in) set in futuristic Japan. As Lo Wang, the shadow warrior, you are to face the dark schemes of Master Zilla, a corrupt corporate head bent on world domination.
The game runs on the same Build engine as Duke Nukem 3D and indeed plays very similarly while also sharing a lot of design principles. Expect to see abundant joking references to Asian films, anime and manga, as well as plenty of secret areas and Easter eggs, and of course powerful and exotic weapons and outlandish enemies. Shadow Warrior actually brings some new features to Duke's tech, such as transparent water, room-over-room environments, drivable vehicles and even more interactivity.
Shadow Warrior was originally marketed as shareware, with the first episode available for free. However, now the full game is freeware, downloadable from GOG and Steam.
