However, Shadow Warriors 2 turns it up a notch with a huge arsenal of weapons that cover the gamut of ranges, as well as magical abilities. It’s fast paced and beautiful, much like its brother in arms Doom, and it’s all about quick, constant movement and twitch action.

It’s the ideal tale to trigger some good laughs and let you loose on hordes of demons, because it’s the combat where Shadow Warrior 2 really shines. Meanwhile, the copious amounts of toilet humour and staggeringly silly one-liners are more than enough to keep you engaged as the craziness unfolds around you. Many will find it to be a mere excuse to get maiming, and that’s just fine.

It’s a bizarre story in an equally bizarre world that compliments the theme of over-the-top combat with grotesque demons nicely. Instead, Kamiko hops into Wang’s body and shares his consciousness, sending Wang on a quest to cure her. A job to rescue a half demon scientist, Kamiko (creator of designer drug Shade) soon becomes more complicated when her physical body is found to be too weak to hold her soul due to a demonic curse. This time around, five years on from the previous title, the world is full of nasty beasts and Wang has turned mercenary to cash in on the infestation. Add to that even more over-the-top acrobatics and a focus on up-close, melee encounters, and you have a gorgeous cacophony of particles effects, gore and raunchy humour that’s just joyous to play.Įveryone’s favourite foul mouthed first-person protagonist, Wang, – sorry Duke – is back to slice, dice and shoot demons, humans, robots, and giant insects whilst a ridiculous and amusing narrative plays out. Shadow Warrior 2 takes the fast paced, gruesome combat of the recent Doom and enhances it with a loot system like that of Diablo or Borderlands.
