About Shadow Warrior
Slice through demonic hordes with a legendary katana while wielding an upgradeable arsenal of guns and mystical powers in this stylish reimagining of the classic shooter. Lo Wang must master the brutal combination of blade, firepower, and magic to uncover a conspiracy and banish an ancient evil threatening to destroy the world.
Story
Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun Lo Wang as he is ordered to acquire a legendary blade of limitless power by his deceitful employer. Betrayed and left for dead, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm preparing to push our world to the brink of destruction. Now the reluctant hero must become legend through a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to uncover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish evil back into the darkness.
Features
Shadow Warrior Reborn – A bold new vision of Shadow Warrior elegantly blends classic first-person shooter gameplay with thrilling action, inventive combat, and a contemporary retelling of the hilarious legend of Lo Wang.
Elegant Swordplay – Unsheathe your legendary katana to slice enemies apart with precisely targeted swings or unleash fluid combos and special attacks to cut down hordes of enemies with one swift pass through the enraged hordes.
Upgradeable Arsenal – Utilize every gun in your formidable armory – from stylish revolvers and quad barrel shotguns to explosive-tipped crossbow bolts and laser-guided rocket launchers. Each weapon offers several unique upgrades to increase power, speed, and add devastating alternative firing options.
Mystical Powers – Call upon mystical powers to protect yourself and paralyze your enemies or use their own severed heads and still-beating hearts to bring them to their knees.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Shadow Warrior's fast-paced, satisfying combat loop with diverse weapons and sword mechanics, compelling story that balances raunchy humor with emotional moments, and visually appealing environments. Common complaints include frustrating enemy waves that feel unfairly overwhelming at times, poor checkpoint placement, technical issues on certain Proton versions for Linux players, and some find the protagonist annoying despite the game's overall quality.
Took me 7 years to beat an over 13 year old game XD It's really fun and really aggravating with the controls. I get what they were going for with the sword and magic stuff but having to input a small code to do everything was a little irksome in the middle of intense fights that cost me my life many times XD Still, if you haven't at least tried it yet. It's fun for sure. Especially cutting down the human mobs. Wish there were more opportunity to cut them up later in the game as they were very fun to dispatch XD Overall, decent game. Hopefully it doesn't take me another 7 or 8 years to beat Shadow Warrior 2 XD4 found this helpful
Shadow Warrior is basically what happens when someone decides that a normal FPS isn't ridiculous enough and adds a katana, demons, one-liners, and a protagonist who desperately needs a filter. The gunplay is enjoyable, but the sword is what really makes the game stand out. I honestly didn't expect the swordplay to be this good. Most FPS games treat melee as something you use when you're out of ammunition, but Shadow Warrior makes the katana a major part of the experience. Cutting through enemies at close range feels powerful and satisfying, while the different sword techniques and abilities add some variety to the combat. There are plenty of enemies to fight and enough abilities to make experimenting with different approaches enjoyable. Fast, funny, violent, and surprisingly satisfying. Enjoy :)3 found this helpful
The most surprising part about this game is it came out BEFORE Wolfenstein The New Order. Feels like a run of the mill early 2010's reboot of a 90's classic. It's alright. Pretty impressive for an indie studio, so that deserves some praise.1 found this helpful
