Animesque: The anime bathing girls are back.note Heckler and Koch, for the less gun-inclined, make the MP7 and are based out of Germany. Lampshaded in the flavor text, which states Zilla Industries was forced to stop distribution of the gun after being sued by a German arms manufacturer. The Zilla Industries PDW is a straight-up MP7.455 Webley rounds instead of the typical. Its costumizations are a katana-styled grip, an 8-round cylinder instead of 6, and re-bored to fire. While it's an oversized version of the Chiappa Rhino 60DS revolver, it's so heavily customized that it almost counts as its own weapon at this point. Here, he is a younger man, a Deadpool-esque Anti-Hero and mercenary who speaks plain English and whose dialogue tends more towards the Deadpan Snarker end of the spectrum. Adaptational Personality Change: In the original game, Lo Wang was a loudmouthed and crude Dirty Old Man of a ninja with a weird sense of warrior honor, whose dialogue consisted mainly of martial arts cliches delivered in the most stereotypical manner possible.Here, he's still a bad guy, but seems to have some respect for Lo Wang, as well as claiming at one point that Zilla Industries has invented a lot of things that benefited humanity (which is technically true, even if he had them invented for completely self serving reasons.) Adaptational Heroism: A very downplayed example, but in the original game Zilla was just a bad guy without any redeeming traits or characterization.The entirety of Chapter 15 is non-combat, instead focusing on plot development and the relationship between Hoji and Wang.Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Despite starting with ' The Touch' blaring out loud, the game still shows an example of this - the game ends with Lo Wang and Ameonna, Hoji's sister, kneeling by Hoji's slowly vanishing corpse in silence, as the camera circles them.The Mothers themselves explode when killed and will curl up and roll at Wang at high speed when enraged to explode. Mothers create small explosive sacs that either sit around as mines or roll toward Wang until they detonate.Action Bomb: When flying demons enrage they hurtle themselves at Wang while spinning in a ball, exploding on impact.Each slash is powerful enough to slice multiple enemies into pieces with one swing. 11th-Hour Superpower: When you finally assemble all 3 pieces of the Nobitsura Kage, it gains the ability to fire energy slashes through the air whenever you swing it.The game stays true to the tongue-in-cheek tone of the original, while going for a more developed, complex story.Īn expansion to Viscera Cleanup Detail about cleaning up the first level after the events of the game was released 11 Oct, 2013.Ī sequel, Shadow Warrior 2, was released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2016.The third installment, Shadow Warrior 3, was released on March 1, 2022. Greater emphasis was put on sword combat (with the MacGuffin being a Cool Sword), with Lo Wang now capable of doing devastating combos and using Ki Manipulation to great efficiency, on top of his arsenal of guns. The game was developed by Flying Wild Hog of Hard Reset fame. However Lo Wang's assignment proves difficult when a demon invasion happens - the demons themselves also seeking the sword, forcing Lo Wang to team up with the banished demon Hoji (who doesn't remember WHY he was banished) to find the Nobitsura Kage before Zilla, repel the demon invasion, and find out the truth behind Hoji's banishment. Lo Wang is tasked with retrieving an ancient sword called the 'Nobitsura Kage'. It follows a younger Lo Wang, an assassin at the employ of corporate mogul Orochi Zilla.

A reboot to the 1997 video game Shadow Warrior.
