Shadow Warrior Classic Redux

Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is the definitive release of the 1997 Build-engine shooter by 3D Realms. Lo Wang, a Shadow Warrior employed by the Zilla Corporation, discovers his bosses are summoning demons to lock down corporate Japan, and he resigns the way he knows best: with a katana, a rocket launcher and an arsenal of guns, sticky bombs and shurikens.

The Redux package bundles the OpenGL remaster of the main campaign, the Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon expansion packs (also OpenGL), and the original DOSBox build for purists. The remaster runs on modern machines without compatibility patching, with a remixed main theme and sharper textures.

Levels lean on Build engine tricks: tilted floors, breakable walls, secret bathhouses and aquariums layered above and below combat arenas. Steam achievements track milestones across the campaign and expansions, and the bawdy one-liners that defined Lo Wang's voice acting remain intact.
