Shadow Warrior is a true classic in the FPS genre. Forget your slow-ass baby shooters, this is a game for manly macho men. Players familiar with the original Duke Nukem 3D and even the old DOOM will no doubt enjoy this fast-paced shooter. For you youngins who grew up on Call of Duty and Battlefield, buckle the ♥♥♥♥ up and get ready for one hell of a crazy ride.

Unlike most modern shooters, the original Shadow Warrior is fast-faced and in your face. From the very moment you start the game, you're bombarded with enemies. Not ready? Too bad. You're dead. If you survive the initial encounter, you'll find yourself in an open-ended albeit still linear succession of rooms. Rather than long, linear corridors, you're given a more open ended back with which to familiarise yourself and explore as you progress through the level.

Combat is fast and fluid, with a wide variety of weapons to obliterate your foes. And if you run out of ammo? Go find some. It's up to you to find more either through exploration. Don't worry too much if you can't find any, though. The sword is extremely fun to use, and kills many enemies in a single hit.

As for the story... there isn't one. If you have a good sense of humour, you'll get a chuckle out of the game's overt and offensive jokes.

In the Classic Redux version, you also get the Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon expansion packs in addition to some optional updated visuals and a remixed main theme. That's plenty of content for the price, and whether you're an old school hardcore shooter fan or a newcomer looking for a faster, more difficult experience, you should find something to love in Shadow Warrior.
