WHY IS THIS GAME SO UNDERRATED!

If you kill the bunnys, there's a chance a black flaming rabbit will spawn and it will try to kill you to Heavy Metal music. And it's EXTREMELY hard to kill, Laughed so much when i found it :DD

I miss John's videos very much and wish his family and loved ones well. This video is what turned me onto the Shadow Warrior series and now I can come back and provide advice to new players. Get the Rage skill on the karma tree and use it. Force yourself into low health for the fights and then kill all the enemies with rage activated. This is how you get 5 stars for every fight.

This was the first game I bought off of TB's recommendation, and it then made me start watching him regularly instead of only when I wanted a review of something specifically.

Haven't seen TB this happy in a LONG time! And calling this the new Painkiller? DO WANT!

Had to come back to glance at the view count on this during Nigel's speech on copyright claims and Devolver's stance on it. :)

So I just got this game yesterday and I can tell you that it's truly fun; sword play is simply to learn, incorporated with the dodging you can do circles around opponents, power system allows you to do strong moves and different healing techniques - you customize your character by selecting certain powers that are denoted by large tattoo's on your body. I still haven't beaten the game - looking forward!

This game looks like it's everything I was hoping Bulletstorm would be. I need it.

This is one of my favorite games. The new version is just fantastic to play and look at. I've made a lot of awesome desktop images from it by hiding the reticle and gun through a console command. During that fight in the beginning of the vid, you should have shot the torch pots around the area when they were near an enemy to make them explode. Same situation in the town. Shoot the air conditioners, drink machines, cars, etc. for explosive ways of taking about multiple baddies. Another fun thing about the level areas is the amount of destructible items and architecture there is available. You also get points for destroying them. The charge strike on the sword is one the best moves to use over and over again on any enemy, and helps unlock achievements. Other than the game itself, the soundtrack is also a favorite of mine as well. It is so well done. Cheat codes? Hmmm, seems the makers decided to take those out of the game, which sucks. I'd love to have the Rocket Launcher from the start.

You sold me. I did look at the game before and passed on it.. but watching this.. I'm sold.

I haven't seen TB so gleeful since Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. So much chopping!

Have to greatly thank you on this TB, bought this game the other day and i am massively enjoying it! A title i would have otherwise completely ignored until i saw this video, thanks for the service man :)

It's amazing seeing TB squeal with joy :) This video made my day

Made me laugh when it said Tiger and he said Dragon. I am far too easily amused.

I also had so much fun with this. But maybe it's because today most FPS want to be COD/BF like and you get tired of it.

It's not the '90's shadow warrior, oh no, this is a brand new type of beast. This looks bloody amazing and very unique.

This looks awesome! Also those text popups when you kill enemies remind me of the darkness 2.

My only complaint is that it's a bit easy

it is a re-imagining, and did anyone else get lost in the forest getting to one of the secrets

It's really cool to see you this excited about a game, I'll definitely be grabbing this!

My my, just watching this makes me feel glorious. I can't imagine how playing it must actually feel !

You know the game is good when it makes TB giggle and unleash his inner child.

this game looks so much fun that I HAD FUN watching TotalBiscuit play it. Also, I'm pretty sure he used Sv_Cheats 1 and Impulse 101 for all the weapons, if the console commands works the same way with valve games. Not sure what he could of used for all the upgrades, however.

somethingguy912 What? I'm saying this is a different game not built on source, therefore this developer (Flying Wild Hog) is going to put differently named console commands for things in their console interface. Some source games, like Counter Strike: Source or Half Life 2 use specifically the commands sv_cheats 1 and impulse 101, whereas a game like Serious Sam 3 uses cht_bGiveAll 1. My point is not every game uses Valve's specific command names for C-VARS (SV_Cheats/impulse), and Shadow Warrior would most certainly not use them, as it was built on the Road Hog Engine.

This game looks good, but I can't help but look at this and imagine what Killing Floor would be like with combat/fast paced action like this.

Oh TB's sheer joy at the weapons. I share in his glee!

Just got this after a friend recommended it. I'm shocked that there wasn't more media surrounding Shadow Warrior's release; this is so much fun! I hadn't even heard about it until my friend told me :O

Probably not the first person to point this out, but "ki" is pronounced "chi". They actually say it many times in the in-game dialogue. I generally like TotalBiscuit, but I'm convinced he doesn't ever really pay attention when playing a game. At least not for review purposes, ironically enough.

shadow warrior is not an FPS its an FPSS (first person shooter slasher)

I did not know this was developed by part of the Painkiller team. That makes me all the more excited for this.

This game...This game... Its so beautiful. I miss games like these where FPS' had secrets awesome impractical weapons, and tons of fun. I grew up on games like these such as Quake and Doom and this game looks incredible. I tried the shareware version of the original and it was glorious. As soon as it goes on sale I'm picking it up. Thank you TB for introducing me to Shadow Warrior. Keep being awesome :')

This looks freaking awesome. While it is unfortunate that it doesn't utilize the cool quake-style levels exploring the vertical plane it still brings a great old school action feel, can wait to play it!

Damn this game IS SO AWESOME. Sure, it isn't THAT interesting.. But it keeps you playing all the time, keeps it tense, and it's actually pretty tense to play on higher difficulties. The game is awesome, even has references to Hotline Miami, Serious Sam, Hard Reset and ofc original Shadow Warrior... Even some secret level design is based on first Shadow Warrior. Lots of secrets too. Just Awesome. (Btw developed by Polish.)

Visceral, fluid and responsive combat and gameplay. Level exploration that comes with well hidden secrets and ones that aren't that hard to uncover. Tons of upgrades that are easly aquired (money from exploration and karma for performing well in combat). Slicing and dicing with ridiculous amounts of gore. Amazing visuals. Game is brilliant. I am having as much fun, as for the first time when I've played the very first Painkiller, my favorite shooter of all time. And that means a lot for me.

Next in line... BLOOD? :)

Apogee got the rights when Atari crashed, and Jace Hall still wants to go ahead with both a HD pack and windows 7/8 compatabilty feature for the original and a full reboot, however, we will have to wait a while for the reboot. as no developer is currently available, Interceptor are still trying to get ROTT to work on AMD ATI (but it works fine on nvidea since patch 2) and will then be tasked on finishing and launching Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded. Farm 51 have "sold out" and are now making COD clones for XBLA, Flying Wild Hog are working on rebooting another 1990s 3d realms classic (not confirmed yet, but it has been confirmed it isnt blood) and Monolith Themeselves are "working on a yet unconfrimed "retro FPS" title for Rockstar NYC" (possibly a new NOLF Perhaps? that would be SWEET! if they kept the classic NOLF gameplay and feel, and we all know rockstar still holds onto many classic mechanics so they certainly could keep the classic gameplay, heres hoping!) so, there will be a full blood reboot, with the "proper" gameplay a PC game should have, like this, and ROTT, but, we will have to wait a while for a developer to become available.

Probably better than Half Life 3.

"Burn baby burn, flames are get a higher!"

I'm playing it now and before I saw the video I was like " this is soo fun!!" now I watch this vid out of curiosity and I hear the same words I was thinking moments ago. Indeed, this game is awesome! It's worth every dollar!

Man i miss this legend. :(

Just beat this game a couple of nights ago. One of the best games of this year, I'd have to say. The only thing I don't like about it is its questionable optimization. I have a gaming laptop that can run, for example, Blacklight Retribution on all Maximum settings and full AA and get a consistent 60Fps, yet Shadow Warrior, a game that's graphically on about the same level, nets me around 40 or so on MEDIUM settings and NO AA. That's a problem.

This isn't exactly an "indie" title ("indie" usually refers to lack of an official publisher, which this game has--Devolver Digital--or at least that's how I've come to understand it), but I see the point you're trying to make. However, Flying Wild Hog's previous game, Hard Reset, was much more well optimized. I could run that at a pretty consistent 60FPS on High, and Ultra hardly ever game me anything below 35 or so. Since Shadow Warrior is only marginally better looking than Hard Reset, I'm surprised at how much worse it runs.

I sure hope so. If I hadn't grown up on consoles, and therefore wasn't used to low framerates, this game might've been borderline unplayable. And besides, being AAA is no guarantee of having good optimization. You mentioned CoD. Look at Ghosts on PC, it's hardlocked at 65° for FoV and runs at about 40FPS on TotalBiscuit's amazing rig, and stutters IN THE MENUS.

That's weird, I tried playing both the titles you mentioned today by pure coincidence and Shadow Warrior ran better for me than Blacklist.

Thanks for letting us know about this version of SHADOW WARRIOR. I thought the only one available was the reboot. This is definitely a killer sequel to the original with stunning enhancements to take advantage of all that has been learned since the 1990s. Thanks for going into so much details about the weapons especially the sword. Looks like they really put a lot of hard work and fun into this.Thank you for helping my wallet empty itself in orgasmic euphoria spent :D

Red Steel 2! That game!!! Man, I want so many people to just play it or at least know it. I can easy say that that game was one of the Top 5 games for the Wii no doubt. The Wii motion plus made the sword feel right in your hand, and the mix of gun play with sword was phenomenal.

it looks great however i dont understand why you blocked out the cheats from view. its not fair you have cheats and we dont. thats almost as bad as needin a special addon to use cheats in halo.

I just started playing this game tonight and thought of this review. You meant and still mean so much to me. I strggle to cope listening to this because I know there wont be more. Love you TB.

I'll be honest too, I don't mind the levels being more straight forward, some of the levels in the old Shadow Warrior are downright puzzles. Especially that one puzzle where Lo Wang does remark he'd rather shoot than solve a puzzle XD

To be fair, I've just finished 2 of the old school shadow warrior titles. The level design isn't about being open, it's about getting into the level designers head. It's about searching for secrets. For example one of the levels requires you to go into a random fireplace and look up and back the way you came to spot a ladder in the chimney to get the key you need to progress. Not find the secret, progress. Others have you searching for weakened walls to blow up. Frustrating but fun.

TIGERS NOT DRAGONS

The colors in this video are not as good as in the real game.

awesome review man, thanks!

Yes they were and pretty effective especially against armored opponents. Actually the thrust was the main killing blow, while slashing, footwork, and judo were merely used to create an opening for a thrust strike.

I got in troubke for your cusing

Rest in peace :(

In Serious Sam 3, that "Weapon" was the giant cannon, just wow! and the sledgehammer.

This game is an absolute blast! If you have a decent gaming PC and you enjoy high action FPS games that are melee heavy, you really should give it a try. I can only hope more games in this vein come to market soon!!

This game in a nutshell - spawn, kill, spawn, kill... At some point in the game it gets boring.

Picked this up today. Fun!

awesome! and, thanks :) good to meet you mate!

I love the ending!

You can press X to aim down the sights. I don't know if that wasn't available in the preview version but you can on the release version. Loads of fun to play with the crosshair off.

No problem, glad i could help explain.

you know a game is good when it makes TB giggle.

There is a Shadow Warrior adver at the end of the preview. Pretty awesome of KZread to keep it related for once.

OOOOOOOOOh my,this sure does look glorious.Il be picking this up then,

This looks totally AWESOME!

That stands for "Head-up display", i.e, all the indicators for player to see, such as life gauge, ammunition in possession, objectives, etc.

buying ammo is cool for people who prefer to use one weapon extensively. I never bought ammo in this game since all weapons are fun and ammo is abundant, but it's cool that I could fully upgrade one gun and use it all the time if I wanted to.

it's been a long time since TB is showing a game he likes alot ;D

This game really reminds me of Nekrovision (also made by former creators of Painkiller). The mix of guns, melee weapons, magic habilities, sense of humour, hordes of enemies. I'm going to like this.

Looks bloody awesome

got a voucher for this on steam and i played the original retro one :D thank you for showing this TB :D

I can imagine Total writing the script for a movie. "This is an Uzi. And this is another one!"

There's also Nekrovision (also made by former Painkiller devs), which its protagonist, Simon Buckner, is heavily inspired on Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series: the looks, the tendency to spit witty on-liners, that both fight the undead and demons. Also, like this new Lo Wang, Simon gets the help and advice of a supernatural entity residing in a magical gauntlet with wolverine-like retractable claws that he gets form one of the bosses halfway through the game.

there are also secrets where you get into the old shadow warrior levels

I missed you circle strafe.

OMG i just picked this game up and i don't think i have had this much fun since the original bioshock!

"Snarky demon, cause why not". Funniest part of video

This actually looks really damn good. I really like that the Katana is actually a viable weapon to use as well.

The katana gameplay seems fucking amazing.

Thanks for the WTF on this one TB. I had an absolute blast playing it. Any game that starts with The Touch can't be too terrible. The humor was silly and the action was fun. The tone of the end of the game actually surprised me a bit given how the rest of the game went.

I do. They rarely have the graphic settings where I want them, and I like having subtitles on.

This looks awesome.

Wow TB is in love! And this does indeed look like a quite a good game. Especially the sword fighting part seem impressive.

This looks Awesome

This scoring system reminds me of Bulletstorm, which these guys worked on as well, I think

Anyone else thinking how awesome this engine could be for a Jedi Knight game? Swords, limb removal and ki/force powers, woo!

Got this game last week from GoG.com, and I don't regret buying it. It is fun, intense and gory, like the shooters from the '90's. Playing this game reminded me what a shooter is and isn't, and this game gets a spot next to Painkiller. If you even remotely liked shooters like this in the past, you will not regret getting this. And as a special throwback: the GoG.com version has a 3D-version of Lo Wang's original sword, which is a nice touch.
