You’ll be spoiled for choice for weapons after a few hours too, with the basics giving way to more outlandish gear as you move along. It is a lot of fun chopping up people, monsters, robots and creatures and it’s hugely satisfying to watch them get sliced up accurately. The slightly fiddly sword moves of the first game have been smoothed to just RMB and either forward, side or back, with the various spells such as Healing now fortunately assigned to individual keys.

You’ll personally gravitate to a certain few and the guns are generally fun, but if you’re like me you’ll use the main sword most of all. These are divided into pistols, shotguns, machine-guns, explosives, projectiles, swords, and melee, so there’s a fair amount of choice here. The first-person mix of swordplay and gunplay in the last game was incredibly compelling and it’s the same here, except there’s a lot more guns and melee weapons to discover (you can equip up to 8 at a time, but can carry them all in your bottomless inventory). The core combat of Shadow Warrior has been tweaked and improved but basically remains unchanged, and for that we’re grateful since that means the sequel is still generally fun. Otherwise characters just stand around like mannequins. To be fair, the dialogue and characters are actually quite fun and keep the game amusing, it’s just unfortunate that they’re only animate in cutscenes – and not very well. Or, even better, a blank slate with brand new characters and situations that actually get introduced to me.

This is probably because the story in the first game was literally just a means to an end, but I’d still have liked some explanation about what’s going on as it feels I’ve jumped into the halfway point of a TV season. I say “apparently” because Shadow Warrior 2 makes no effort to get the player up to speed on any of this, and despite the characters all seemingly knowing each other I had absolutely no idea what was going on.

After sort-of recovering an important woman from the research labs of Zilla Corp Lo Wang has a new annoying voice in his head and a new scheme of Zilla’s to dismantle. Apparently it’s been five years since the last game, and while Ninja-Wannabe Asshole-Definitely Lo Wang no longer has a demon in his head the darkness has spread over the world and humans and demons are forced to live side by side.
