 What is this? Shadow Warrior 2013 is a reimagining of a 1997 shooter of the same name. Developed by the Polish company Flying Wild Hog (previously responsible for Hard Reset) and published by Devolver Digital (Serious Sam, Hotline Miami, Luftrauser) and released in 2013, it was released to mostly mediocre reception and quickly forgotten. That was a mistake. Riiight. So why should I care? Because the game is amazing. I was actually introduced it here on SA by a video in the let's try thread by JamieTheD and this game immediately became one of my favorite shooters of all time. It's fast, it's furious, it's fresh and it's (mostly) funny. The fact it was developed by a relatively unknown company and didn't get much media exposure really hurt what I consider the best shooter since Bulletstorm. How are we going to go about this? I'm going to play through the game's story mode on Normal - while I've beaten it on higher difficulties, all this does is turn enemies into bullet sponges and it's not very fun to watch. I am not going to get maximum rankings on every fight but I will show off all the secrets. Updates should be coming weekly. Should a miracle happen and some discussion take place, I'd appreciate tagging any spoilers. Believe it or not, this game's plot is actually pretty drat good. Enough talk, it's chopping time.

Weapons: Game says: The elegant weapon of the samurai is simply the best sword ever devised. Zilla industries combines tradition with technology, fitting laser-whetted folded steel into strong, yet lightweight carbon fiber handle for unparalleled ease, whether cutting metal or bone. Leather Tsuka: The energies emitted by this leather wrapping fill any blade with mystical power, increasing damage by 20%. Ancient Tsuba: Legend says this tsuba accelerates the regenerative abilities of the sword wielder, adding 5% chance to drain health from the enemy Engraved Blade: The smith who made this sword was said to achieve final enlightenment by forging this blade. Every slash it makes generates a deadly Ki wave. Shurikens: A sharpened, star-shaped weapon primarily used for throwing. Press Q to deploy them while wielding your katana. anilEhilated says: Wang's signature weapon, it's entirely possible to go through most of the game while relying just on the katana. On lower difficulties anyway. Its upgrades don't unlock with money but plot progression, which would normally lower its usefulness, but thankfully we can enhance it using a variety of karma perks: Divider of Heavens (Forward, Forward, Hold/Release left mouse) is a move used for breaking key shrines and skewering demons. Circle of Iron (Sideways, Sideways, Hold/Release left mouse) slices everything around Wang, hitting his original target twice. Wing of Crane (Back, Back, Hold/Release left mouse) projects a wave of pure concentrated anime capable of chopping enemies in half. Aswang Hunger passively allows us to heal ourselves by hitting enemies with any of the above.  Game says: Tosainu Type 13 Revolver: Named after Japan's largest dog breed, the Tosainu Type 13 is one of the most powerful and reliable revolvers ever made. It is the favored weapon of security advisors worldwide. Single action: A mod with lighter trigger pull and smoother cocking. Hold RMB to switch to Western-style rapid fire. Lightweight Cylinder: Made of extremely durable and lightweight alloys, this cylinder inreases the rate of fire by 20%. Extended Barrel: Longer barrel with recoil compensator. Increases accuracy by 50%. Ammunition: .455 Tosa round is designed for high muzzle energy granting very high stopping power. anilEhilated says... The dogvolver is one of the most reliable guns in your arsenal, delivering fast and powerful shots all the way to the endgame. If you're hurting for money, it's fairly safe to skip the attack speed upgrade since the alternate fire remains unaffected - still all the upgrades are dirt cheap so you might as well go the whole way.  Game says: Zi-Type 23 PDW: Production of this personal defence weapon had to be stopped after Zilla Industries lost a lawsuit agains one of German defence manufacturing companies. Akimbo: The low recoil and excellent balance of the Type 23 allows the skilled user to operate two guns at once. Hold RMB to active this alternate firing mode. Match Grade Barrel:This barrel is fitted with smaller muzzle breach and polished bore granting 25% more damage. Laser Sight: Red dot laser sight significantly increases accuracy. Ammunition: Zilla's 4.6x30 are lightweight but quite useful in large numbers. anilEhilated says... The submachinegun starts off rather underwhelming - inaccurate, weak but fast, you know the drill. With upgrades it turns into one of the most damaging guns in the game and becomes the supreme bosskiller. The description is apparently a reference to the weapon looking like an H&K MP7 (thanks Wanderer!) slightly altered to avoid having a real gun in the game.  Game says: Mamushi Type-14 Crossbow: An ancient weapon now used primarily by big game hunters and spec ops. As deadly as the snake it's named after, the Mamushi combines accuracy with deadliness. Sticky bombs: These remotely detonated RDX-filled heads turn Mamushi into a grenade launcher. Press RMB to fire up to three high-explosive grenades. Press LMB to detonate them at the optimal moment. High-strain system: This enhanced servo system increases the force applied to bolts, multiplying their damage up to 4x. Hold LMB to charge and release to fire. Extended mag: This cylinder magazine holds 25% more bolts. Allows for longer hunts without reloading. Crossbow Bolts: These mechanical broadheads can pin down any problem! anilEhilated says... The crossbow, in its unupgraded state, works pretty much like a dogvolver 2.0: even slower, even more powerful. The upgrades, specifically the charge shot and sticky bombs, turn it into a tool of total destruction and my personal favorite weapon of the game; it's also one of Wang's best friends at higher difficulties, since the charge shot is the most efficient means of dealing ranged damage in the game cost-wise.  Game says: ZICS-C Shotgun: Zilla industries combat shotgun. Though cheap, reliable and easily customizable, the civilian version lacks a clip and full automatic fire mode. Often referred to as "the hair dryer" due to its unusual shape. Firestorm: This customized trigger configuration allows for firing all the barrels simultaneously for when you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherfucker in the room. Press RMB to bring the pain. Quad pack: Two additional barrels. The more the merrier, right? Double shell clips: Loading two shells at once halves reload time. Shotgun shell: Gauge shells filled with tungsten buckshot. anilEhilated says... Shotgun O Shotgun, how I wish I could afford to love thee. I spent a big chunk of chapter seven talking about it so go watch that instead; you can probably figure out how it works anyway. The game makes it sound a lot better than it is, sadly. That's not to say it's not a fun weapon, just a very inefficient way to spend your money.  Game says: Onibi flamethrower: Deemed unsuitable for eithical warfare by most military authorities, the flamethrower found its niche in corporate munitions market as a handy negotiation tool. Named after the fire spirits of legends, the Onibi belches fire like hung-over dragon with a bad case of the mondays. Fire bombs: This pneumatic launcher converts the flamethrower into a potent and diverse weapon. Press RMB to launch incendiary bombs. Extended fuel tank: A bigger tank means more capacity and increased work time. Increases fuel storage by 30%. Inferno mix: Addition of thermite to the Onibi turns the flamethrower into a terrifying weapon. Increases damage and panic chance by 25%. Fuel: Tandem tank containing liquid mixture and inert propellant gas. anilEhilated says...  Game says: Yari type-24 rocket launcher: Named after the traditional Japanese spear, it is the most devastating weapon made by Zilla industries. The Yari type-24's clip holds up to three high explosive missiles that can be fired sequentially. Laser guidance: This active laser designator allows the user to point the target, then missile heads directly to it. Hold RMB to manually guide missiles. Multi Launch: The modification allows you to fire up to three missiles in one shot. Hold LMB to stack, then release to fire. Heavy Warheads: This type of missile, nicknamed "Nuke Dukem", contains more powerful explosives, increasing explosion radius by 30%. Missile Pack: Anti-personnel missiles noted for their ability to blow the living crap out of all of the things. anilEhilated says... The Rocket Launcher is all kinds of awesome and the kickass factor is only marred by its girly color scheme. It's the most powerful weapon of the game and the only way to survive some of the encounters the final levels will throw at you. Also allows for some pretty amazing trickshots. This game also has a fairly interesting approach to DLC. Purchasing the game by various means lets you dress up your sword in pretty pretty katana skins. Two of them I show off in the LP, here's the rest courtesy of fellow goon Oblivion4568238: Oblivion4568238's Katana Emporium: Zilla Z45 Laser Katana   Hmm... it kinda looks like Raiden's High Frequency Blade, but smaller. And with more lasers. That light is an actual light source too, it causes lens flare on the camera. And, it makes lightsaber-ish noises when you swing it around. It was a pre-order bonus, so you can no longer get it.  Trolls are always surprised when you take out their shield arm. Hotline Miami Katana  This pixellated sword hails from Hotline Miami, a game about running around real fast and killing everything that gets in your way. So, not that different from Shadow Warrior. It's part of the special edition pack.   Okay, so that one doesn't even have the sword in it, but it does have a man's arm erupting into blood, so I kept it.   Yeah, this looks like the aftermath of a Hotline Miami level. Serious Sam Sledgehammer  Devs paying their dues to Devolver Digital's big-name properties here. The Sledgehammer is from Serious Sam, and it is a sledgehammer. It is also part of the special edition pack. Despite being a blunt weapon, it is still just a skin for the Katana, so it cuts things like normal.   Ah, there's the one good action shot! I was worried I wouldn't get one. After this, I had a nice overhead charged swing lined up, but of course I flubbed the picture of the swing anyways. Instead I got  Oh hell.  Get it off get it off.  Go away go away go away. Saint's Row Penetrator (Possibly mild  )http://lpix.org/1934707/2015-02-07_00020.jpg It's, uh... yeah... It makes... rubbery noises. You get it for owning Saint's Row the Third, as well as this game. http://lpix.org/1934716/2015-02-07_00021.jpg No Lo Wang what are you doing  Actually, I think this image would make a good avant-garde desktop wallpaper. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Feb 8, 2015 |

your evil twin posted:(There's actually a sort of easter egg at the end, but I don't think it counts as an official secret.) J.theYellow posted:Oh yeah, and "Kappa Dori" is a reference to Kappabashi-dori, a street in Tokyo populated by restaurant-supply stores, near which is the Kappa Dera Temple. The kappas are the aquatic frog-faced goblins that are thought to be friendly to humans. For the damage/rating discussion, I think I said my piece in the video - the only really reliable way I know of getting max ratings it the abovementioned Roar/Divider/Beheaded spam and I'm not going to put myself or anyone viewing through that. I still think that fun and flashy combat beats getting a couple of extra karma points. That being said, it's not an exclusive thing where you're either efficient or flashy - it's entirely possible to get full rankings on just getting lucky with hits and environmental damage. The combo just makes it consistent.

David D. Davidson posted:I remember seeing that they were making DOC where you play as the poor sap who has to clean up after Wang. Does that actually exist and if yes will you be playing it? So I just learned of its existence in my Steam library thanks to you. I'll have to actually play through the thing first but unless it's extremely boring to watch I'll make bonus videos or something out of it. Anyway, I'm having some trouble finding time to edit my recorded videos so expect the next update sometime in the middle of next week.

Youtube is probably still processing the HD version, but here's Chapter 2: The Party Bus. I tried to make my commentary a bit louder compared to the sounds of violence as well as e-nun-ci-ate. edit: Would also appreciate any comments of the density of the commentary. I pretty much rapidfired it so far but am kinda worried of running out of stuff to talk about - think the fights need my banter or is just watching Wang cut poo poo up fine once in a while? anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Jul 8, 2014 |

GetWellGamers posted:I will say this, though- pick up the +Money/Karma% upgrades first thing. A lot of the later upgrades on both trees get wickedly expensive and you'll be glad you invested in those earlier. It doesn't really matter with karma since not all of the skills are useful but I'm definitely not going to be able to get every single weapon upgrade in one playthrough. There is stuff that's safe to skip without missing anything though.

It's hardly crucial, but it's a nice touch, and it'd be neat to see them in the LP for a bit. I have the two that didn't require paying extra ten euros, but I'm saving them for the longer levels, as it's going to give me an opportunity to rant about the nature of DLC, universe and everything.

Well, I have the Rise of the Triad and Walking Dead ones so they'll definitely show up at some point. I actually debated getting the special edition for quite a while but in the end decided it wasn't worth the rather hefty price tag - soundtrack and art are nice, but those particular two katana skins (Serious Sam hammer and I think some sort of Hotline Miami weapon) just didn't grab my interest.

Yeah, this is what happens when your contacts with English as a language involve way more reading than actually talking (and you're trying to make yet another stakegun-dickreplacement joke). Side effects may include positively fantabulous phrasing and relying on words I just can't pronounce right (see: particularly canal).

I'll get to the various applications of the crossbow a bit later, but suffice to say it's my favorite weapon for a reason. Well, a reason unrelated to vaguely phallic satisfaction.

GyverMac posted:Wang takes bullets and demon claws to the face without breaking a sweat, but jumping down a little staircase is insta kill? I wonder what the thought was behind the insane fall damage in this game. Oh, that's pretty simple. You can negate it by holding Ctrl at the right time (ie just before you hit the ground), Wang will just drop into a ninja roll. The problem is that, well, I suck at it. When I'm dashing like this, I'm doing to shorten the spaces where nothing happens and my mind is completely elsewhere. So the issue with falling damage on dashes isn't so much the amount of it but the fact it's not expected and gives you a really short time to react as opposed to actual falls. It may also be affected by momentum: earlier in the video, Wang dropped down a shaft and I was definitely going for a roll on that one, but the game only does it when it's actually needed. So the speed of the dash may be another factor. I'm fondly reminded of System Shock 2 where you could kill yourself by touching a wall while going too fast. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Aug 11, 2014 |

I really don't like relying on the shotgun against the fliers for reasons that will become obvious as soon as I fail to dodge one on their way down - been pretty lucky with that in this video. But getting close to them is fairly dangerous since their divebomb before dying schtick goes from annoying on Normal through damaging on Hard to downright murderous on Insane and Heroic. That being said, there's something charming about killing flying enemies with close-ranged weapons and the shotgun turns it into the world's goriest duck hunt. As I said in the video, just being able to play with the fully upgraded shotgun alone is a great reason to do New Game+.

This is skirting around spoiler territory a bit, but burning shadows is a pretty accurate description of what the sword does. I agree that the devs played their mythology fast and loose (and even the China/Japan confusion is present - Gozu, for example, is based on a Chinese demon) but they do seem to have thought their plot through.

Spudd posted:"You made armour for the demon invaders. Shut the gently caress up." I love all the quips that show just how much of a wannabe Wang is at the whole hero thing, that's a fairly unique approach for an action game. There's one line in particular I've been trying to get Wang to say pretty much since the start and he stubbornly refuses to: if you kill a demon with the dogvolver, he yells something like "Make my day, chump! poo poo, I always get that one wrong!" On the other hand, him mangling some of the references makes it even hard to track them so thanks everyone for pointing them out - it kind of makes me wonder just how far out of their way did the Polish developers have to go in order to make all those jokes that work only in English/the Americans would get...

Kibayasu posted:Even though they are written to be what a complete nerd would think is badass and witty Flying Wild Hog still manage to combine that with a remarkable amount of both restraint and variety. They don't even happen after every single fight (I don't know if its just random or maybe there's a karma points requirement relative to the fight itself so you only hear Wang quip if he thinks he's earned it) but they still probably wrote and recorded more than a person would hear in a single playthrough. I don't think I heard a single repeated quip throughout my entire first game and if I did they happened far apart enough that I didn't remember the first one by the time I heard the second. Thinking about how many other games just repeat the same 5 "witty" lines for every single fight the hero is in (which gets annoying within 30 minutes at best) really makes me appreciate things like that. There are repeated one-liners, but you'll probably only notice three (possibly four, see below) of them: "Ooooh, that feels good" for healing, "Look, meat pinatas!" for flux and "Quick, pull my finger!" for shockwave. Protection might have one but a]I never heard anything while using it and b]it's protection, who gives a poo poo. Weapon kill quips can show up multiple times, but they're pretty well spaced out - maybe they don't repeat in a level or something.

It can usually hit fliers if you jump; the problem is that just setting them on fire (which is about all your air time allows for) doesn't always kill them and then you have to bother with the same enemy twice. Besides, if you can hit them with the flamethrower, you can also hit them with a Divider and that takes care of them in a much more reliable fashion. edit: The only good videogame flamethrower I remeber off the top of my head was in C&C: Renegade. Wolfenstein 2009 had a passable one but it didn't really fit into that game's style. And its best upgrade came like in the last mission. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 18:49 on Sep 3, 2014 |

Nalesh posted:Holy poo poo, nothing like I imagined. Anyway, a bit of warning, the next update might end up being a tiny bit delayed as I'll be busy over the weekend and the level takes forever. I'm still hoping to put it out on schedule, just don't expect to. SaffronKit posted:I'm glad it has grown on you, as it really is a fun weapon even without the upgrades. The alt-fire is just super enjoyable to use againest really big groups or up in the face of something REALLY big like a warlord, if I wasn't just using a divider on them when I got pulled I'd have my shotgun out and ready to shove the alt fire into its face. anilEhilated fucked around with this message at 07:07 on Sep 4, 2014 |

That's actually what eventually turned me from Sanctum 2; the rocket launcher makes really pretty explosions and I'm all for that but kinda prefer my booms actually doing something.
