What players say
The best way to play Duke nukem , wich btw have not only one functional working remaster , shadow Warrior features Lo Wang who is superior to Duke in every way , not only the way of the Wang, The game is first class old shooter with a redicules sence of humor , starting with Wang what is also a Asian pseudonym for , well i think you know if not you will get a clue after you got all related phrases in the games one...

It has a few of the problems I have with classic boom shoots (some levels having cryptic progression and me getting lost, bosses just being circle strafe bullet sponge fights, and random difficulty spikes due to enclosed space mob fights) but it has some of my favorite aesthetics, music and weapons in classic boom shooters. So, good stuff.
A classic in its own right, lots of gory fun that I honestly want to see more of in boomer shooters today.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
