Free on GOG Shooter 1997 3D Realms

Shadow Warrior

3D Realms' 1997 Build-engine shooter, from the makers of Duke Nukem 3D, with swords, shurikens and a lot of crude humour.

Lo Wang, a bodyguard for the Zilla corporation, quits when his boss summons dark creatures to take over Japan. Now he has to fight his way through them all.

Shadow Warrior Classic Complete, with both expansions, is offered free on GOG. Made for adults: it is violent, and some of its humour has aged badly.

About the game

It added things few shooters had in 1997: drivable vehicles, turrets, and a katana for close combat.

Levels are full of secrets and interactive objects, a trademark of Build-engine games.

History

Developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive in 1997.

A reboot by Flying Wild Hog followed in 2013, and the classic version was made free on GOG.
