If you haven't played Shadow Warrior, well then you missed something! You can play the classic one for free or consider buying the redux one at full price or discounted.
So, Shadow Warrior is a little fast paced-shooter where your goal is to make your way to stop the Zilla corporation from dominating the world. In order to do that you’ll need to come across many levels and in each level you need to find some more or less hidden keys or solving some puzzles.


Story
"The Zilla Corporation is the most powerful of these conglomerates and will stop at nothing to achieve domination unseen by any other corporation in the world. Lo Wang, Zilla Corporation’s legendary Shadow Warrior, discovers this corruption and the dark powers being summoned to aid his employers in this quest for absolute power. As a man of honor, Lo Wang vows to battle these demonic forces with an arsenal of explosive weapons, his silent blade, and a razor-sharp wit."
So yeah your goal is to save the world from the Zilla Corporation several times!

Graphics
Do not expect a lot from this redux, it's mostly tweaked graphics for higher resolution. But the game doesn't aged so much, which is good.

Gameplay
Like any FPS from the 90s area your goal is to reach the exit of each level and reach the final boss. To do so you need to make your way by killing every enemy you may encounter using only your katana and shuriken at the beginning but you'll progressively unlock a wide variety of deadly weapons ! And of course you can save your game at any time!
Adding to the weapons, ammunitions, health pack and armor pack, you'll also find several items you can use. This includes a portable medikit, caltrops (shuriken like but for the ground), a repair kit (to repair American-made machines), a poison gas and an item that make you invisible. Another good item are the fortune cookies which give you a true fun fact and an additional 50 HP to your health up to 200 HP.

In order to reach the exit you most likely need to find several keys, some are in plain sights and some are pretty well hidden. Sometimes you need to solve a puzzle instead: moving things, using machines or finding the right combination. And a few times you need to beat a boss instead. In my opinion bosses were much more aggressive and challenging in the main campaigns ant not at all in the bonus one.

You will come across huge amount of levels with most of the time hundreds of enemies to defeat! But don't worry Lo Wang with his skills, weapons and voice lines are here! And each level is very different, except you may be tired after playing the game for more than 8 hours.

Anyway, in each level there is a fair amount of secret areas to find and sometimes a secret exit to play a secret level! Well they are most likely faster to finish but it's not that obvious as you may think because they are also enemies here! And the good thing is you can backtrack at any time during the level and you can also show the in-game tracking too.

After beating a level you'll have you score with your time.

Sounds, Music
The music is fine, you can play with it or mute it. The best part are the Wo Lang voice lines. You may not be tired of listening him over and over again.

Achievements
They are all easily doable, only one will need a bit of practice which is a speed run of any level. But here again you can over use the save feature if needed, and the speed run is 1 minute long. (55 seconds or less to beat the speed run time)

The only tedious achievement is the one where you need to find most of the secrets area, but don't worry you don't need to find them all. If you die during the level and found any secret again it will count.

There are several achievements which are level related, so be sure to make a save at the beginning of every level in case you missed it. You can still use the level select cheat code but it seems it doesn't work for every level.
