Shadow Warrior Classic | Mini Review
Jake 'The Voice' Parr February 8, 2021
Great graphics and hilariously silly one-liners.
Challenging and rewarding gameplay. Levels are more complex on a technical level.
A lot of cool weapons, some of which have handy alt-fire modes, including launching nukes!
You can climb ladders, ride vehicles and use turrets.
Epic, Eastern-themed soundtrack by Lee Jackson.
Some annoying enemies, like hornets, suicide-bombers, and hordes of hit-scanners.
Weapons like the shurikens, rail gun and grenade launcher really suck (the latter’s splash damage is insane).
Inventory items aren’t as useful as those in Duke Nukem 3D.
Platforming is a pain, doubly so since you’ll receive fall damage from even the slightest of drops.
Armour is rare and gets chewed up by damage incredibly quickly.
Score:
