Shadow Warrior - Review
Shadow Warrior
A game full of various references, mysterious places, and where your sole purpose is to slice up monsters coming your way with your katana or riddle them with bullets from your weapons. That is Shadow Warrior. We can say that this game, which is soaked in blood, is an adaptation of its old version for modern times. You know, this has been in fashion for a while. So let’s slowly start describing this game.
As I said at the beginning, all you need to do is progress, and as you advance, kill the monsters that come your way. Let me give you a little tip: after you clear the area, take a good look around because the game is full of hidden rewards and references that will put a smile on your face. Some references can only be seen once, so if you miss them, you won't see them again unless you restart the level. Keep your eyes wide open and tune your gamer senses to maximum when playing Shadow Warrior, and observe your surroundings well. Now, let’s turn to the monsters: as you advance and get stronger, naturally tougher enemies start appearing, but this is the core gameplay, just so you know. Fight enemies, move forward, fight different enemies, move on... Personally, I didn’t get bored because I liked the atmosphere, references, fights, and many other features, but since games like this are rare nowadays, there are probably many people who might not like it.
As you progress through the levels, you upgrade both your weapons and yourself. You also find weapons other than the katana as you go along. As you level up, tattoos are added to your body, and towards the end of the game, you become someone who is fully tattooed with a katana and various weapons. You also learn new moves for your fights. I enjoyed the encounters, and I think they provide a satisfying feeling. If you ask me, the graphics are neither bad nor great—I’d say average, but above average. It would have been better with improved visuals, but it never becomes irritating as it is. This applies to most aspects of the game; everything could have been better, but it looks like this was considered sufficient, and yes, it is sufficient. It’s quite playable and enjoyable while playing.
The level designs and models are just as good—frankly, I don't even need to say that, you can see it in the photos, but my crazy heart wants to tell everyone when it likes something. To sum it up: Shadow Warrior is a game to play occasionally, or even to sit and finish over a weekend.
