![]() ![]() “Classic twitch FPS games have always been worth playing - series like Serious Sam, Bulletstorm, Painkiller, have been carrying that torch, and each had their own unique take on the subgenre,” he said. Younger players can have fun with it, and Szutack says they’re already playing games that are similar. Shadow Warrior isn’t some dinosaur, either, outdated beyond relevance. ![]() … There are many shooters that are single-player only and even more that include multiplayer that less than 1 percent of their users play regularly.” “Anything after that is just trying to hit stale marketing bullet points just to say you have them. ![]() “The team wanted to make a strong single-player experience with an engaging story and spectacular gameplay,” he said. For FPS players today, that’s a big deal, but Szutack isn’t convinced that it’s necessary. Shadow Warrior is missing one element that it had back in the ’90s, though: multiplayer. Fans of the original game should expect a new experience but one that is grounded in what made the original so memorable.” “That’s what we loved about the original, and that’s the essence we are have reinvigorated in our new take on Lo Wang and his exploits. “It’s fast, it’s funny, and it’s sexy to look at and play,” he said. Szutack said he wants newcomers to learn and experience what it is to play a classic first-person shooter, but Flying Wild Hog isn’t alienating longtime fans. “We needed to make something that tapped into that history but could stand on its own as well.” “The biggest challenge was taking the characters, settings, and more iconic weapons and transferring them to something that wouldn’t feel like empty nostalgia,” said Szutack.

It starts out with him driving and singing along to Stan Bush’s “You’ve Got the Touch” (the one recorded for The Transformers animated movie). Lo Wang himself is still cocky - and cheesy as hell. Guns come in handy as players often need to mow down waves of enemies. Plenty of options are available, along with upgrades for weapons like a revolver, submachine gun, and crossbow. Koji lends Lo Wang his power - a deal that may carry a price later on - and players can pump different types of combat points into learning valuable skills and traits. Much of the comedy comes from the banter between Lo Wang and a mysterious masked demon he meets early on. ![]()
