![]() Hoji ends up stealing the show because Wang has nothing going for him. I admire that they tried to modernize a character that was already perceived as racially insensitive back in the day, but the modern Lo Wang lacks any kind of punch. There is no joke or levity to his character, and the edgy arc he works through feels painfully out-of-place. Now he’s a cool anti-hero a young, handsome dude who casually flirts with women and shouts generic action game taunts as he blasts and cuts his way through hordes of enemies. Lo Wang used to be this elderly pervert who’d laugh his way through combat encounters with funny one-liners and an endless supply of dick jokes. It certainly has its moments and Hoji can be entertainingly snide in his banter, but I feel it doesn’t quite nail the atmosphere that would be ideal for this kind of game.įans of the original Shadow Warrior will certainly miss the tongue-in-cheek, comical atmosphere of that game. This turns the story in a bit of duo-cop movie, as Wang and Hoji investigate where the sword has disappeared to and constantly bicker over their conflicting goals and approaches. This Hoji offers to save Wang’s life… if only he’d agree to a tiny, little contract with him. Wang is then left bleeding out in a burning building, where he is approached by the mysterious spirit Hoji. Not long after it turns out that the collector is dead and the sword is gone. When the deal goes wrong, Wang witnesses the beginning of a demon invasion from the confines of his cell. Wang has to either purchase the sword or tear it from the collector’s cold, dead hands. Wang has become filthy rich through his work as an assassin and is now on a job for the powerful businessman Zilla who wants to buy a collector’s famed katana. He is a cocky nerd whose fascination with action movies and video games did not stop him from becoming an actual master swordsman. The game stars a much younger Lo Wang, who feels inspired by No More Heroes‘ Travis Touchdown. Each weapon offers several unique upgrades to increase power, speed, and add devastating alternative firing options.This era of remakes and nostalgia for retro games has brought us a lot of interesting projects, but I feel that, in many ways, Shadow Warrior is one of the bad examples despite making bold steps forward as well.
