Shadow Warrior 3

Shadow Warrior 3 is a fast-paced action game that combines gunplay, katana combat and free-running movement in a mythical Japanese realm. Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former nemesis Orochi Zilla set out to recapture an ancient dragon that Lo Wang accidentally freed from its eternal prison. They fight through a fractured land overrun by demons, using blades, bullets and Lo Wang’s wisecracks along the way.

Combat and movement

You combine firearms with precise katana strikes while dashing around demonic enemies. Air dashes, wall runs and double jumps let you move through combat arenas, and a grappling hook expands your movement and combat options. Arenas contain hazardous structures and devices you can activate to shape your attacks.

Finishing moves let you execute enemies, claim a piece of your defeated foe and use its powers against the horde in a burst of magic and force.

The world and characters

The adventure takes place in a mythical Asian land where ancient samurai-era magic and technology meet demons from Japanese folklore. Lo Wang delivers one-liners and trades pointed banter with Zilla as they face absurd predicaments on their mission to stop doomsday.

Game modes

The Definitive Edition includes several ways to replay the game and take on additional challenges:

• Survival Mode: Fight waves of enemies across three battle arenas. This mode unlocks after you finish the game, and completing its challenge can earn three weapon skins.
