The story, unlike so many typical gaming struggles against possible world-ending doom, is a very light-hearted and cynical one.
However, the good ones land pretty solidly and give the proceedings a flavour of that classic 90s attitude we love to see. Wang also unleashes plenty of one-liners which are, by his own admission, a bit hit-or-miss. There’s some great comic interplay between Wang and Zilla, with the two of them trading barbs as they reluctantly work together to try and save the world. However, his mentor-cum-rival Orochi Zilla enters the sad scene, demanding Wang pull himself together to save the world, handing him his twin sub-machine guns and sending him on his way. Shadow Warrior 3 starts off with the “retied” ninja and ex-hitman Wang in his underwear, looking dishevelled, ranting about how he accidentally set off a giant world-eating dragon currently in the process of destroying the world – whoopsie-doodle! He’s mourning the passing of his trickster God friend Hoji, cradling his mask.

“Who wants some Wang?” asked an amusingly stereotyped FPS protagonist when the original Shadow Warrior was released back in 1997. Shadow Warrior 3 Review: A Third Helping of Wang
