You can upgrade the weapon so it can penetrate through enemies. While, my personal favorite, the Basilisk, is a powerful long-range weapon that has to be charged between shots.
For instance, the dual SMGs, the Sidekicks, can be upgraded to provide shock attacks on enemies.
There are not a lot of weapons in the games, but they are diverse and feel unique. Each weapon has a distinct style to them and no two weapons handle or debuff the same. Movement is swift and sudden, as is the shooting. Demons of all shapes and sizes immediately go into aggro mode and are hellbent on taking you to the shadow realm. Once Lo Wang enters these zones, all hell breaks loose. Shadow Warrior 3 has distinct combat zones. Games where split-second, hair-trigger reaction times are key to survival and success. Games like Unreal Tournament come to mind. Shadow Warrior 3 is reminiscent of FPS games from the early 2000s. DOOM is a major influence here and the game does not try to hide it. Let’s not beat around the bush, Shadow Warrior 3 absolutely nails gunplay. Luckily, the gunplay is tight and fun throughout the 8-hour experience. However, people do not play this kind of game for the story. We get a little betrayal and some end of days jargon, but in the end, the story is an afterthought. The game is essentially a race to stop impending doom and does not inspire or do much.
Of course, the awoken dragon has also brought about an invasion by a demon horde.Īlthough the characters are nothing more than caricatures, the same treatment is also applied to the story. You have joined forces with your former enemy and employer Orochi Zilla to track down and defeat an ancient dragon they accidentally awakened. In Shadow Warrior 3, you play as Lo Wang, a corporate enforcer-turned-freelance merc. However, it is clear that there are some rose-tinted glasses at play here. This time, though, it is essentially a love letter to id Software’s DOOM. Luckily, Shadow Warrior 3 stays true to its offbeat and over-the-top roots. The game is the direct sequel to 2016’s Shadow Warrior 2 (go figure).
