Shadow Warrior 3 Review
Feb 28, 2022
The resurrection of Shadow Warrior is one I never thought Iâd see, and for it be so successful over the past nine years is a joy all its own. Flying Wild Hog was either predicting or echoing something in the first-person shooter genre, and always doing it better. With Shadow Warrior (2013) was DOOM (2016) before DOOM (2016). Shadow Warrior 2, this was a looter shooter like a mini-Borderlands, focusing on longevity and replayability. Now we have Shadow Warrior 3, a DOOM Eternal-like thatâs more a continuation of the first game that chases its prior success. Unfortunately, Shadow Warrior 3 is a bit of a lo note for the series as Lo Wang and the gang go on a bloodthirsty yet ephemeral adventure.

RuneStorm sent in to cleanup after Flying Wild Hog in Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior (FREE for owners of Shadow Warrior)
Oct 11, 2013
Independent developers RuneStorm (Viscera Cleanup Detail) and Flying Wild Hog (Shadow Warrior, Hard Reset) have been brought together via the Devolver Digital Cross Promotions Department to birth one of the more unique video game mash-ups ever â Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior. A free standalone mini-game, Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior takes place after Lo Wangâs first big katana battle against the yakuza in Shadow Warrior as a hapless janitor from Zilla Enterprises is tasked with cleaning up the bloody mess.
âWhen our team first saw Viscera Cleanup Detail on Steam Greenlight we absolutely loved with the idea of a person out there that had to clean up after big battles in FPS or horror games,â said Michal Szustak, Studio Head at Flying Wild Hog. âRuneStorm has done a tremendous job in taking a key scene from Shadow Warrior and recreating its aftermath to form a fun and hilariously frustrating mini-game using the Viscera Cleanup Detail mechanics.âÂ
Budding viscera janitors will be able to use their custom mop, commercial grade plastic gloves, high tech viscera finder, and an industrial incinerator to clean up blood, guts, and the occasional dismembered arm. Plan your strategy wisely or risk tracking bloody footprints around your clean floors or knocking over a bucket of guts on what was previously a pristine flight of stairs! Perform your job skillfully and find yourself rewarded with two handsome achievements to hang in your locker.Â
âThis clear exploitation of two talented independent developers is really a landmark moment in my career and I canât wait to see the immense amount of personal wealth I stand to gain from this financially driven marketing stunt,â said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. âOh, Viscera Cleanup Detail: Shadow Warrior is free? In that case you can all eat my butt. Eat it right up.â
Shadow Warrior Review
Oct 04, 2013
Despite the generic-sounding name, Shadow Warrior is actually a reimagining and reboot of the 1997 classic from 3DRealms, which came after the release of the mega-hit, Duke Nukem 3D. This Shadow Warrior, coincidentally, follows the release of the mega-dud, Duke Nukem Forever. The good news, is that Shadow Warrior stops following Duke Nukem at this point.
The Purple Wang Dildo Bat from Saints Row IV unlocks for Lo Wang in cross-promotion for Shadow Warrior
Sep 24, 2013
Developers Flying Wild Hog and Volition, along with the publisher illuminati of Devolver Digital and Deep Silver, are excited to announce an unprecedented cross promotion between Shadow Warrior and Saints Row IV. Through this groundbreaking show of absurdity, owners of Saints Row IV on Steam will unlock the legendary âPenetratorâ weapon in Flying Wild Hogâs reimagined Shadow Warrior as a powerful-but-elegant alternative to the traditional katana. Yep, read that again.Â
âIâm sorry I canât really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world,â said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. âAnd I donât know what to tell you other than you can now wield a giant purple dildo from Saints Row IV in Shadow Warrior. Thereâs your headline, nerds.âÂ
Again, not sure what else to tell you all that hasnât been summed up already. If you own Saints Row IV on Steam and purchase Shadow Warrior, you can literally use the big purple Penetrator in place of a katana in Shadow Warrior to sever the heads off of demons. We know, and yet we canât really believe it ourselves.Â
Shadow Warrior is set to launch via Steam for PC on September 26, 2013. Saints Row IV is currently available for Steam, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
