Shadow Warrior 2 is the stunning evolution of Flying Wild Hog’s offbeat first-person shooter following the further misadventures of former corporate shogun Lo Wang. Now surviving as a reclusive mercenary on the edge of a corrupted world, the formidable warrior must again wield a devastating combination of guns, blades, magic and wit to strike down the demonic legions overwhelming the world. Battle alongside allies online in four-player co-op or go it alone in spectacular procedurally-generated landscapes to complete daring missions and collect powerful new weapons, armor, and arcane relics of legend.
STORY
Five years have passed since Lo Wang shattered the alliance between his deceitful former boss and the ancient gods of the shadow realm. Despite noble intentions, Lo Wang’s efforts to annihilate the darkness corrupted the world, creating a strange and savage new order where humans and demons live side by side.
The once feared warrior now lives in the shifting wildlands outside the reach of his enemies and the neon glow of Zilla’s cybernetic metropolis, scratching out a meager existence as a hired sword for the local Yakuza clans. When a simple mission goes wrong, Lo Wang is drawn into a volatile conflict between a brilliant young scientist, a controversial cult leader, and a terrifying new drug known as Shade. The sharp-tongued hero must once again wield lethal blades, staggering firepower, and archaic magic to purge the world of evil.
FEATURES
  • Blades and Bullets: Lo Wang delivers his own brand full throttle brutality with an expanded array of over 70 lethal blades and explosive firearms to overcome the demonic opposition. Become a whirlwind of steel and blood with razor sharp katana, short swords, crescent blades, and hand claws or unleash a hellish symphony of ornate firearms to decimate your enemies.
  • Four Player Co-Op: Battle through the expansive campaign alone or team up as a four-player typhoon of destruction online in campaign co-op mode. Tackle challenging primary missions or thrilling side quests while maintaining your own ninja style with customizable armor, items, and valuable loot from your triumphs.
  • Procedural Environments: The breach between the human and demon realms created an interdimensional hernia resulting in constant shifts to the world of Shadow Warrior 2. Procedurally generated landscapes and paths bring new twists and turns to once familiar terrain and routine missions.
  • Brutal Damage System: Choose your weapon based on the situation at hand and then dismantle everything that stands in your path with an advanced gore system. Use precision blade strikes to separate limbs and heads or switch to heavy ordinance and blow a hole right through colossal beasts.
  • Custom Upgrade System: Upgrade weapons in your arsenal with up to three stones at once to improve performance or augment them with devastating elemental effects. Collect karma, amulets, and armor to enhance Lo Wang’s power and shift his death-dealing artistry into overdrive

Shadow Warrior Series

The Shadow Warrior series started back in the 90s with Shadow Warrior Classic that was remastered and released on Steam by Devolver Digital and 3D Realms as Shadow Warrior Classic Redux. Then in 2013, Flying Wild Hog and Devolver Digital released the bold reimagining of the legend of Lo Wang with the modern classic Shadow Warrior.

PAX East ’16: Shadow Warrior 2 Hands-On Preview – Intelligent Design (PS4)

 

 

 

It’s Gone Non-Linear

 

Maybe it’s the large number of both ranged and melee players can find in the game, or maybe it’s the way each weapon can be upgraded and honed, or maybe it’s the addition of elemental damage, which can be added to weapons and can impact different enemies in different way, based on their resistances or weakness to different elements. Maybe it’s all of those things, but I think it mostly has to do with the new level system.
“The levels are randomly generated,” Paweł Kowalewski, one of the game designers of Shadow Warrior 2, told me at PAX.
“If you look around,” he said, turning to face the several people playing the game on different screens behind us, “everyone is playing the same mission, but each of them is playing on a slightly different level layout, or in different weather conditions or a different time of day. So, we want to keep the experience fresh, whenever you’re replaying the same mission, or restarting your game.”
It adds a level of replay value, he explained, before also noting that the “game is no longer linear.”
Indeed, as I was playing, I noticed that the maps seem larger than in the previous game, and there seemed to be multiple ways to reach objective points. As I was hurrying towards one point, I came across a boss-like enemy that took a good few minutes to actually bring down after using an array of both sword slices and revolver blasts to deplete its massive health bar. After collecting money and weapon upgrades from its dead body, Kowalewski told me these types of enemies will appear to give players an extra challenge and allow them to collect more loot, yet are not always necessary to kill.

 "Shadow Warrior 1 and Hard Reset Redux owners receive an additional 10% off of their Shadow Warrior 2 preorder at checkout."

10% addition on the existing 10% = 20% off gets it down to only ₹679/-

 

Pre-ordered it. (Steam refunds ftw, if something goes wrong!)

Thinking of buying and playing with you guys as 4 player coop. However combat doesnt seem as fluid as dark souls or witcher or creed. Just nonsensical monster killing with powers. No strategies, or tactics... Easy/tough monsters.... Shoot shoot shoot... Slash slash slash

Well yeah.. The game is more in line with Doom and Borderlands 2 instead of those third person game you mentioned. So if you like those shooter you are probably going to like it.
