Lo Wang knows his role and does not shut his mouth… ever. But that’s a good thing as Shadow Warrior is set to take on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and Wang’s dialog gives you a glimpse of the man behind the katana, who isn’t you but you still might find lovable in his own way. Shadow Warrior has you dispatching a shit load of demons with modern weapons, ki magic and of course that lovely, lovely kitana.
I have to say I found the katana gameplay really satisfying even if it was simple. There’s not a whole lot of depth, don’t go in expect something like fencing simulator 2014 or anything and you’ll be good. But there are a few upgrades and I found myself cycling through them naturally during combat. The other weapons were nothing amazing but again just felt right in the context of Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior is out now for $39.99/£29.99.

Shadow Warrior tells the offbeat tale of Zilla Enterprise’s corporate shogun, Lo Wang, who is ordered by his employer to track down and acquire a legendary blade known as the Nobitsura Kage. Forced into a timeless battle, Lo Wang learns of the blade’s connection to ancient gods from another realm, pushing our world to the brink of destruction. Aided by Hoji, a banished spirit from this mysterious world, Lo Wang must use a masterful combination of gun, blade, magic and wit to discover the truth behind the demonic invasion and banish the encroaching forces back into the darkness.
Shadow Warrior is available now for next-gen consoles for £29.99.
