Lo Wang is now voiced by Mike Moh, and unfortunately his performance isn’t entirely convincing! Orochi Zilla is now voiced by SungWon Cho, and he is absolutely fantastic! To get back onto the positives, another great aspect of Shadow Warrior 3 is the visual design! The world looks fantastic and the graphics are a massive improvement over the previous entries! This is expected given that the second game came out 6 years ago! But the world is truly stunning and the creativity of the art design really makes this game a pleasure to look at.

Because even the enemies become repetitive, as you will always find them in the same areas in arenas, following similar patterns with no real variety. After a while this did cause me to start feeling a little disinterested. As it is also very easy to tell when you are about to enter into one, the game starts to feel repetitive quite quickly! Instead of feeling like you are out on some big adventure, you simply traverse the linear levels until you encounter an arena, then you must “Clear the area of enemies to continue”! Then you are traversing till you are halted by yet another battle arena, and then you rinse and repeat.Īside from a few key set pieces, most of the traversal simply becomes a filler between the battle arenas! These arenas eventually become tedious. However, it is not very common to be involved in much combat when outside of a Combat Arena. I know this seems like a strange criticism at first. The level design is broken into just two components, Combat Arenas and Traversal. Unfortunately this leads me to another big let down in Shadow Warrior 3. These new abilities are vital in helping you survive the many battle arenas that you will encounter! Lo Wang can now run along walls, slide through enemies and also has a grappling hook, which can constantly be used to get out of sticky situations. There have been some minor additions to traversal which have really helped set the scene for many of the high intensity action set-pieces.

Some of the executions are truly brutal! But they do give you some awesome weapons to fight back the enemy!
