Wang is teleported to an area in the wilderness that has been taken over by Zilla's forces, and you'll have to fight your way through. While Wang is in his element fighting against his enemies, his 'soul passenger' is put off by his abrasive and pompous attitude.ĭuring my session, I played through the mission 'Hot Blooded' which sent me on a fetch quest to find demonic relics and crystals for Wang's Master. I was worried about it coming off a bit too strong, but I was surprisingly entertained by the banter between Lo Wang and the female scientist who's sharing his body.

Shadow Warrior 2 totally revels in its style and over-the-top nature, and it somehow goes way further than ever before. Along the way, his soul fuses with that of a young scientist, who's not only a reluctant passenger in Lo Wang's bizarre journey, but who may also be the key to stopping Zilla's army from taking over the Earth.Īs a continuation of the 2013 reboot of the original, it's no surprise that Shadow Warrior continues with the same low brow and juvenile humor, which is totally fine. After a run-of-the-mill mission goes wrong, he finds himself caught in the middle of cross-dimensional battle between the powerful yakuza and the forces of hell led by the returning Zilla. Set five years after the events of the original game, the international assassin Lo Wang is back on the job fighting yakuza and strange otherworldly creatures. In development for more than three years, the folks at Flying Wild Hog have big plans for Lo Wang and his new battle against the demon horde-which aims to take things to an even more over the top and marvelously stupid level. With the upcoming release of Shadow Warrior 2 on October 13, Devolver Digital is opening up a bit more about what they have planned for the return of one of their surprise hits from 2013. It's one thing to reboot a classic title, but it's another to see where you can take it after it's made its debut.
