Shadow Warrior is an amazing game for fans of mindless destruction.

Terrible puns aside, Shadow Warrior 2 is wildly good fun. The immediate gratification of the combat is what keeps the game enjoyable throughout, but Flying Wild Hog has backed this up with several layers of RPG mechanics to support and enrich the game’s strong sense of variety. Find some friends to experience the game at its best in co-op mode.

Bloody retro shooter with flawed controls, but quite fun when played with friends.

Shadow Warrior 2 is superior than the original one, with a co-op mode as enjoyable as you would expect. It might be quite repetitive sometimes and it's hard to focus with all the mess happening at the same time, but its particular sense of humour, the possibilities when it comes to develop your character and his weaponry, as well as the risk taken offering a different shooter make Flying Wild Hog's game one to take into account for classic FPS lovers.

Shadow Warrior 2 stands on its own as a frenzied yet fresh blending of genres that can easily enthral groups of players for hours at a time. For lone wolves, the looting and shooting will be slightly less appealing. This, and a few smaller hitches, hold the game back from greatness, though die-hard fans of the genre will certainly get their fill.

It’s the case of a small issue that turned rampant and hindered my play experience, but Shadow Warrior 2 is such a fast-paced, irresponsible, chaotic joy ride, that the mental pain I had to deal with from this annoying decision was well worth it in the end.

The swift gunplay is upgraded with some basic RPG features, but the repetitive quest hunt structure slows down the fun. This Wang needed a virtual Viagra to impress. [July 2016, p.84]
