Shadow Warrior 3 Teaser, My Thoughts

In 1997, the first-person shooter game Shadow Warrior debuted. Developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Software, the game used the legendary Build engine. In the game, the player was Lo Wang...yes, I know. He was a bodyguard for Zilla Enterprises, a powerful zaibatsu that controlled every major industry in Japan. However, the head of the zaibatsu, Master Zilla, craved more power. In his quest for such, he summoned creatures from the "dark side" to conquer the world. A horrified Lo Wang quits and faces his former boss to save the world.

The game was rather innovative for its time. It was the first FPS to include sticky bombs. The game also modified the Build engine to allow things like transparent water, climbable ladders, and drivable vehicles. The game was given average to positive reviews by critics, and it sold over 100,000 units. In 2013, Flying Wild Hog developed and Digital Devolver released a remake. They would put out a sequel in 2016. And now, here comes the third game in the series. Let's take a look at the trailer!

Wow, the game looks beautiful. The scene is so serene, so peaceful. I could take a nap here, oh.

Is that Lo Wang?

Heh heh. Fourth wall breaking. ...Deadpool's going to sue, isn't he?

Those forearms are rather freakin' stunning.

Thanks, Verne.

Aww, don't you just hate it when a bunch of monsters ruin your fun swing through the forest?

"Ha ha, you mussed!"
"No, I didn't."

That'll hurt.

Wow. Even the BUNNY is amazed.

Oh, that will hurt.

FATALITY. And killing a demon without even glancing at him is always awesome.

Yeah, those demon monster things now they're dead. RIP demon monster things. We hardly knew ye...and hardly cared.

We'll see you there too, man!

I think this game is going to be pretty cool. I first learned of the original Shadow Warrior from Lazy Game Reviews, and it seemed fascinating. I am curious as to how this game will go, considering the ending of the last game. I hope this game is tons of fun.
