Shadow Warrior [Official Site] is a remake of the 1997 game of the same name. It features the smartass protagonist, Lo Wang, who is caught up in shenanigans involving demons and a magical sword. There are very many weapons and abilities that the player can use to take on the army of demons that are wrecking havoc and has plenty of fast-paced fun. It’s a generally enjoyable experience and was ported to Linux some time ago by Knockout Games.

It’s a pretty fun game, if not a little repetitive at times. There’s plenty of action and learning how to be efficient at swordplay was rewarding. I also enjoyed the ability and powers system which you can upgrade according to your needs. There’s plenty of tongue-in-cheek and puerile jokes, too, and the game doesn’t take itself too seriously. It was so stupid and silly at times that I couldn’t help but be charmed by it.

You can get your copy here, which provides a redeemable Steam key. You'll have little under two days to get a key as of the time of publishing this article. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

History, sci-fi, technology, cooking, writing and playing games are things I enjoy very much. I'm always keen to try different genres of games and discover all the gems out there.

Oh and the name doesn't mean anything but coincidentally could be pronounced as "Buttery" which suits me just fine.

Quoting: ColomboPersonally, I think that the old Duke Nukem and Blood are closer to Half-Life than to Painkiller.

I get why people think that but to me painkiller and duke nukem are in the same vain no story monster closet games. I liked them back in the day but just massively gone off them as i have gotten older.
