Devolver Digital has released just over 17 minutes of Shadow Warrior 3 gameplay, and this footage goes through a mission called Way to Motoko. As you can imagine the gameplay has a lot of action and gore throughout. It wouldn’t be a Shadow Warrior game without all of that, would it? You can watch the footage below.
Shadow Warrior 3’s story description says:
“Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again. All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon’s egg, a touch of magic, and enough firepower to hold off the impending cataclysm.”
Having revived the classic shooter series in 2013, Flying Wild Hogs took their first sequel in new and interesting directions, with the integration of new “looter shooter” style gameplay mechanics and co-op. In the run up to Shadow Warrior 3’s reveal, Game Director Kuba Opoń said, “We hope that Shadow Warrior 3 will feel like a homecoming for those fans that have been with us since the beginning.” That certainly gave a few hints that they were taking a step back from some of those elements.
Jim handled our Shadow Warrior 2 review for its 2017 console release, writing:
“Flying Wild Hog has gone well beyond churning out a simple sequel to its rebooted series. Shadow Warrior 2 stands on its own as a frenzied yet fresh blending of genres that can easily enthral groups of players for hours at a time. For lone wolves, the looting and shooting will be slightly less appealing. This, and a few smaller hitches, hold the game back from greatness, though die-hard fans of the genre will certainly get their fill.”
