You can also throw shurikens, but they’re kind of weak and not overly accurate to throw. The guns consist of a revolver, an uzi, rocket launcher, flamethrower, shotgun and crossbow. The core gameplay loop is to cut down hordes demons in combat arenas using a variety of guns or your katana. Gameplay-wise, Shadow Warrior is a first-person shooter/hack-and-slash game. Hoji explains to Wang that this ancient katana is an immortal slaying, demon killing weapon that consists of three swords needing to be merged into one. Mizayaki is then killed in a demonic invasion of his compound and Wang teams up with Hoji in order to secure the Nobitsura Kage. Wang confronts Mizayaki, only to be captured by him and learn of his bond with a demon named Hoji. Mizayaki refuses, Wang kills all of his body guards to try and take the katana by force and chases after him. Wang is tasked with purchasing the Nobitsura Kage, an ancient katana, from a collector named Mizayaki for 2 million dollars. Wang is a deadly assassin who works for Orochi Zilla, a powerful and wealthy industrial mogul.
Like the original game, you play as Lo Wang, except instead of being a borderline cultural stereotype, this modern version of him is just some nerd who collects comic books, likes rocking out to Stan Bush (A Boomer-ass reference that I had to look up) and drives an awesome looking car that resembles and old Nissan S30. Much like games such as Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom (2016), Shadow Warrior gets itself a contemporary reboot for the current console generation/PC hardware thanks to the work of developer Flying Wild Hog and publisher Devolver Digital. Sadly, Blood never got much in the way of a contemporary reboot, unless you count Blood: Fresh Supply and Duke Nukem 3D spawned… Duke Nukem Forever… Needless to say, both of those franchises have been put on ice for the foreseeable future, but not Shadow Warrior. Back in the days of the Build Engine, the original Shadow Warrior (released in 1997) was one of the three primary pillars of that engine, alongside Duke Nukem 3D and Blood.
