Being developed by Flying Wild Hog, and Devolver Digital this first person shooter is set to blast it’s way back onto PC’s this fall minus the controversy and stereotypes though. Why? Because lawsuits. That’s why.

That doesn’t take away from the overall shock value of the game, which still had plenty of it, but I can think of more popular games with much worse. You’ll wander through some pretty looking Japanese scenery and really awesome lighting effects set in a real calm setting before you get tossed in a fray of death and destruction reigning down like an unholy hell of stuff that’s hellish and unholy. Michael Szutack, the games lead, has stated “We’ve taken some of the core elements of the original — brutal katana combat, beautiful Japanese setting, frantic gameplay, and Lo Wang’s sharp tongue, and  reinvented them for 2013″.

The game definitely has some pretty classic comedy which you’ll experience throughout the game with Lo’s cocky behavior  and a masked demon that Lo meets earlier on in the game.

The same demon grants Lo his powers which you can upgrade to learn new valuable skills and traits to help your progression. The list of weapons isn’t in any short supply either with shotguns, sub-machine guns, and crossbows with guns being some of the most handy.

For any fans of the old game, you will notice some nods to the original games in forms of quotes, but I have to ask. With the how disappointed fans were of Duke Nukem, can another ’90′s remake actually be successful with todays gamers? The potty humor that was awesome in the original Duke Nukem wasn’t all that well accepted this genre and I can only hope that Shadow Warrior isn’t overdoing it for other gamers. We will see if Flying Wild Hog managed to find that balance between a fast, fun, and entertaining game while not losing any of the elements that made the original a classic.

Shadow Warrior launches on PC this fall.
