Shadow Warrior
Lo Wang has been working as a Shadow Warrior (a kind of bodyguard and mercenary) for the powerful Zilla Corporation for years. But when he discovered the evil Zilla's plan to summon monsters from other dimensions and conquer the world, he left in disgust. Realizing that Lo Wang could jeopardize his plans, Zilla sends his assassins after him.
Shadow Warrior is a first-person shooter game similar in style and gameplay to Duke Nukem 3D. The game is set in a generic 'Asialandia', which looks like China and Japan merged together. It features deliberately immature and politically incorrect humor, as well as a protagonist who regularly spouts one-liners, commenting on the situation at hand. Much of the humor comes from stereotypical and exaggerated depictions of Asian culture (e.g., scantily clad young women drawn in the style of Japanese anime).
The player has to complete several levels, fighting enemies and occasionally solving puzzles along the way. Although the game focuses primarily on exploration and combat, puzzle solving plays a larger role than in most contemporary shooters. There are also some sequences that allow the player to drive vehicles, some of which have mounted weapons. Like Duke Nukem 3D, the game's environments are interactive, allowing the player to manipulate or destroy the scenery and many objects, often revealing secret areas. From a technical standpoint, the game introduces climbable ladders, true room-in-room situations, and voxels (instead of sprites) for weapons and inventory items.
Enemies include evil ninjas with various weapons, 'coolies' that carry a box of dynamite and explode when they get close to the player character, assassins with crossbows and many more. To combat them, Lo Wang can use a variety of weapons and items. Weapons include: Lo Wang's fists, a katana, shuriken, a riot gun, an Uzi (of which you can equip and use two at once), a rocket launcher that fires thermal or nuclear missiles, a grenade launcher, sticky bombs, a railgun, and even some enemy body parts. Many of these weapons have a secondary firing mode. Lo Wang can also find and use gadgets such as caltrops to knock enemies out of the way, or gas bombs to suffocate enemies near him.
