very good, yes. GOG also has it at a comparable price today, though, if anyone prefers GOG instead. comes with some of the bonuses you'd only get in the special edition on steam.
its like a 90-earlier 2000 fps with modern visuals
I don't think Shadow Warrior is as good as everyone seems to think, but it's definitely worth it at a 10 dollar price tag if you like shooters.
My biggest gripe with it is how some of the weapons (Shotgun and flamethrower mainly) are absolute rubbish until you upgrade them into merely a mediocre weapon. They just don't pack the proper punch.
The gunplay in general is meh, I stuck with using the sword most of the game because at least using that weapon is fun what with all the special attacks you can unlock. On the plus side, the level design despite being linear looks and plays quite nicely, and it has a nice variety of enemies to fight.
I'd say there's at least 9 hours of gameplay in this too, which is pretty good for what it is.
It's still a great game; even without a multiplayer it puts shite like CoD to shame, though I woulda liked the weapons to be a bit wackier. Nothing as berserk and awesome as the shurikens-and-lightning gun from Painkiller, but near the end the Nobitsura Kage kinda felt like it had tits and was on fire.
But for what it was, it was pretty good, and we need more games like this in the mainstream. Who wants some Wang? Lotta people. Who NEEDS some Wang? The whole damn shooter genre!
Already 75% off?
It's a really good game, but I did find the last few levels a bit unfun.
You better believe it; at this price it's a goddamn steal and worth your time.
Also what's Marphy Black's beef with this? Is it just that he thinks it's a little overrated? I could probably understand that tbh; it's not the best shooter out there, but it's still good for what it is, even if we never had a true boss fight against Orochi Zilla despite him being "the dragon" of Enra.
I'm working my way through this atm and paid the same price its on sale for now.. its amazing.. 8 hours so far, on chapter 13 iirc, there is 16 altogether (I think)

Actually there's 17.
The game is on sale because the free survival mode released today. The game is great, but survival is kind of just there.
Consider the humble store version instead. DRM-Free with steam key included, and is around the same price (Though also £1 cheaper if you're a UK user!)
Ugh, I think I will wait until it's on the Xmas sale.
Last year you earned discounts and cards if you bought games, so if I'm going to buy them, may as well be then.

Probably because it's really nothing like the original game

Not saying it's bad, don't get me wrong, it's just different

what does cod have to do with this
I had a lot of fun playing this game. The dismemberment is very satisfying.
I don't know if I can run this game, is it optimized or rather taxing?

marhpy hates everything
He was basically crying about how they edited out the Fag Hunter texture in Postal 2 in the steam release but the truth is, they edited it out in 2004 :v:

I can run it maxed out with a Q6600, 6gb DDR2 800 ram, and an AMD7850 on windows 8.1 with hardly an FPS drop when I get swarmed by enemies
