unlabelledView post →This track is called "Access"! Ion Fury was an awesome game! It was a modern game (released in 2019), and it used the Build Engine, which was used for games like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior! It made the engine feel modern, and was a ton of action and crazy moments! It was a really fun game!
unlabelledView post →The unlicensed Duke3d engine game Liquidator uses up-scaled, blurred sprites from Shadow Warrior (the uzi) , and while watching a friend play it, I decided to do another sprite paint over...
unlabelledView post →35 years ago, MM featured a Shadow of the Beast cover. Top reviews: Mega Drive Sonic the Hedgehog (92%), Star Control (86%), and Zero Wing (91%), NES Captain Skyhawk (91%) and Shadow Warrior (90%), Game Gear Shinobi (90%), and SNES Sim City (94%). Holy mackerel. What a month!
unlabelledView post →Back in the ’90s, we brought Apogee games to Mac users too! Fun fact: Mac game sales were only about 1% of PC sales. Did you ever grab a Mac version of one of our games, like Shadow Warrior?
unlabelledView post →Hot take: Roguelikes are cool if the procedural generated level design fits the story or theme (Hades, Shadow Warrior 2), but games that are literally just "procedurally generated version of X genre" feel like lazy cash-grabs that makes the game "vibe code" its own level design.
unlabelledView post →Rolled credits on Shadow Warrior! Up next is one of my favorite little retro games that I technically started playing last year, but I want to finish it. Let’s play a game… if you can guess the game, you can pick a free Steam key from my giveaway list! I’ll leave 3 hints in the thread…
unlabelledView post →whenever I play an old game some boomer shooter enthusiast recommends me it's either one of the best games I've ever played (Blood, FEAR) or it's total dogshit (Shadow Warrior, ROTT)
unlabelledView post →I’m on the final level of Shadow Warrior! This’ll be my first game beat in 2025 and will have me tied for the number of games I finished in 2024 🤣
unlabelledView post →There are some new faces here, so I’ll share some stories. In 2016, I got really into Shadow Warrior 2, a game developed by the Warsaw studio Flying Wild Hog (published by @devolverdigital.com). I made this piece, which caught the eye of @zooltar.bsky.social, who was working at FWH at the time.
unlabelledView post →If Evil West 2 is going to suddenly pivot to co-op ARPG gameplay like Ruiner 2 and Shadow Warrior 2 then we can truly speak of some latent curse that has befallen Polish action game development
unlabelledView post →i'm a big boom shoot guy but i never got the appeal behind Duke Nukem 3D i think that game doesn't feel anywhere near as good as Doom, Shadow Warrior and especially Blood and the levels and music are all pretty boring to me, idk what it is
unlabelledView post →Fallen Aces is everything I loved about games like Duke Nukem 3D, Blood & Shadow Warrior, but with a film noir coat of paint and a lot of fantastic new mechanics & enticements to encourage you to vary up your play style There's real love & thought going into this game, I can't wait for more
unlabelledView post →Finished #ShadowWarrior 3 on #PlayStation5. A fun hectic game with really good gameplay but that is a bit below the previous entries. Good thing is that it's short and doesn't overstay its welcome. All three games are really cool and different enough to have a good time.
unlabelledView post →As I'm waiting for my GOG game installers folder to copy over from one backup drive to another via USB, I'm reminded that...Shadow Warrior sure was a thing they were trying to bring back for a while, huh
unlabelledView post →Ion Fury: Aftershock: If you ever grew up with the likes of Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior or Sin, this (and of course the main game) is the juice. Utterly ridiculous levels of effort and detail squeezed out from a 30+ year old game engine.
unlabelledView post →"We'll just use AI for things you won't notice, like concept art or in game advertisements and-" Shadow Warrior has a fairly racist caricature of main character and most of the memorable in game artwork is random images from hentai webrings and this eclipses everything you will ever make for the-
unlabelledView post →Started playing Shadow Warrior 3. Yeah, this game is sick asf, it really feels like they took inspiration from Doom and Doom Eternal to make the sword and gunplay chaotic, rapid and so fucking satisfying. I genuinely am having a blast with it and i am so ready to keep going
unlabelledView post →Doom 2016 always get the credit of kickstarting the old school shooters revival era still going on today, but I never see people also bring up how Shadow Warrior 2013 and Wolfenstein The New Order doing just that before that game did.
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior (2013) is currently on sale on GOG for $3 so please go get the game there: www.gog.com/en/game/shad... Also read this guide to know how its Karma Bonus and scoring system works because the game fails to teach you so: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...
unlabelledView post →Who wants some Wang?! Shadow Warrior is Japanese-themed Build engine game where we play Lo Wang in a fight against Master Zilla. Apart from powerful weapons and beautiful levels the game stood out for its fully controllable vehicles. 🔥 💿 Shadow Warrior (1997) ~ 3D Realms
unlabelledView post →Post a video game gif from the year you were born This game kept getting reprinted because it featured a digitized photo of Sonny Chiba from the movie Shadow Warrior, and boss battles against Rambo, Godzilla, and Spider-Man They had zero respect for international copyright law, lol
unlabelledView post →I know it will never exist, but a proper Boomer Shooter Shadow Warrior remake where you fight Cthulhu critters with Good Chinese Magic/Heavy Weapons like some kind of hard r action game version of Jackie Chan Adventures would rock.
unlabelledView post →Flamethrower shenanigans in Shadow Warrior. This is game is awesome, man. Absolute chaos. 😅
unlabelledView post →The current discourse of the past few years that context doesn't matter is one of the problems. Context absolutely matters. Eg: no way to do a game review of the original Shadow Warrior without sounding like a complete dick today. Context.
unlabelledView post →Four Games that hold special memories for me I avoided any from the same series or else I'd also include Medieval 2 etc. Anyways- 1: Rome Total War 2: Fallout new vegas 3: Shadow Warrior (the original) 4: Star Wars: Republic Commando #Videogames #Fallout #TotalWar #StarWars #Republic #LoWang
unlabelledView post →Apart from the European version of Fallout 2 where the kids were immortal, invisible, broke several questlines and could softlock the game for you. Almost as good as the Eu version of Shadow Warrior having darts instead of shurikens.
unlabelledView post →BLOOD: Honestly my favorite build engine game, I do enjoy Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior, but man, Blood just oozes with atmosphere, and its such a unique story and setting, plus theres never been another game protagonist like Caleb, hes truly the best
unlabelledView post →1. Shadow Warrior (1997) an overlooked gem not many have talked about, it's a single-player FPS game where you play as Lo Wang. (the protagonist in the game.) it plays similar to Duke Nukem, considering it was developed by the same team! I highly recommend, btw!!

unlabelledView post →This is for real in my opinion the *best* kind of modding that gets done. And maybe the most fun. *reliving memories of my besties and I turning Shadow Warrior into a kart game*
unlabelledView post →Shadow Warrior was one of the greats of the build engine, released in 1997. I didn't play it and from the descriptions of its difficulty curve I'm not sure I want to. But I had an idea and chose to pay tribute to a classic game. #boomshoot #shadowwarrior #digitalart
unlabelledView post →On my Build Engine FPS inspired bullshit for sure today 🤣 Brainstormed a game based on the major protagonists in the most famous games with this engine (Duke Nukem, Ion Storm, Shadow Warrior, Redneck Rampage, Blood, & Powerslave) teaming up to do badass heroic(?) things in a very explosive world 🤯☠️
unlabelledView post →Here's the final part of Trailin' for @pananning.bsky.social . It's a bit longer than the other four parts. There's a LOT of antics. Even the game breaks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6Zt... Moving onto Shadow Warrior in editing.
unlabelledView post →We're discoursing indirectly about Uncharted being good or not and I wanna add this: Lost Legacy is the best one. Also all of the following games are better than any Uncharted game: Bayonetta Saints Row IV Horizon 2 Slay the Spire Shadow Warrior 2 Bioshock 2 Guacamelee Gotham City Imposters
unlabelledView post →It seems apt to remember the last time this happened, Shadow Warrior had to remove the ninja throwing stars from the demo version of the game - so kids wouldn't emulate it. They replaced them with PUB DARTS that you threw at people. www.pcgamer.com/saturday-cra...
unlabelledView post →Forgot to post this yesterday but I 100%'d Shadow Warrior 3. Possibly gonna try the same with the 2nd game (which has a *lot* more stuff)
unlabelledView post →this new Shadow Warrior game looks neat
unlabelledView post →Ooh I really need to go back and finish this game. Shadow Warrior also has a tattoo skill system! Each skill unlocks a different tattoo. Unfortunately, you can’t see it in game, only in the skill menu.

unlabelledView post →Blood is definitely the best build engine game. Duke and Shadow Warrior haven’t aged as gracefully in my opinion.
unlabelledView post →At the moment i'm playing Elden Ring Nightreign, Lil Gator Game, Armored Core: Nexus, & Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 after Gator Game i wanna play either Deus Ex, or maybe Trepang2 or Shadow Warrior

unlabelledView post →I finished a replay of Shadow Warrior (2013) recently. It still holds up great and is a lot of fun. I put up a review with Linux performance notes as well: www.gamespot.com/shadow-warri... 90% off till Jan 18: www.gog.com/en/game/shad... #gaming #linuxgaming #drmfree #gog #shadowwarrior
unlabelledView post →SHADOW WARRIOR was such a weird game. "What if DUKE NUKEM was way more obnoxiously racist?"
unlabelledView post →What is that game? My first thought was Shadow Warrior, but the UI isn't right.
unlabelledView post →but first i'm gonna finish Shadow Warrior on the xbox. got the trilogy at like 90% off on a sale recently and this game has been a lot of fun so far. hopefully the other two are as well
unlabelledView post →EDuke32 now comes with its own Shadow Warrior source port called "VoidSW". That's probably the best way to play the game now.
unlabelledView post →though I do get how so many people got this and went "uh lame lolll", it was free with Shadow Warrior, a game about slicing guys into ribbons with katanas. after making the mess, there's a li'l game for cleaning the mess. I can see how that Venn diagram may not have quite so favourable a cross-over.
unlabelledView post →The movie that hit the public zeitgeist at just the right moment that references to it ended up in Shadow Warrior, a game which (probably?) outlived the film in terms of cultural memory.
unlabelledView post →www.twitch.tv/thechoujinvi... Hey everyone, #PNGtuber captain here. Let's get our Wang goin with some Shadow Warrior. It seems we may be on the way to the finale of the game. If we beat Shadow Warrior early, we'll begin with Shadow Warrior II (with a friend) #ShadowWarrior #TinyTubers #BirbTuber
unlabelledView post →Found a screenshot of Shadow Warrior from May 19, 2022. I don't take in-game screenshots often however and just use OBS recordings to grab them. Though that method isn't lossless however.
unlabelledView post →Aw fuck more picks are flooding in, Shadow Warrior 3 had some great and unique music for a singleplayer ArenaFPS game with lots of draws from various Asian cultures from what a friend of mine excitedly, another mid game more so than NMH2 that I personally like a lot and personally.
