There is now a RNG system for the weapons, gems (which are mods for your character, guns, and even co-op experiences, which is also a new mechanic), there is a Diablo-esque difficulty system, which will make the game initially easier in comparison to it's predeccesor, 'free-roam' (which is more akin to a giant area for each mission), side missions from the main missions, challenges, and even more muddled stuff that makes Shadow Warrior 2 feel like a mesh of the original Shadow Warrior premise with Borderlands 2 and Diablo 3 tacked on. With that being said, Shadow Warrior 2 is a muddled, bottom heavy game with one too many mehanics from it's prior game, making it off putting for some.

Now, while I can commend the developers for trying to make the game bigger in scope than it's predecessor, and to give credit where credit is due, they put a lot of effort and time to make Shadow Warrior 2 comparatively different from before. So Shadow Warrior 2 is the bigger and ultimately bottom heavy cousin of the previous game, basically expanding on most of the things that was present in the game: the gore has increased, the visuals even more radiant and sometimes overabundant, the rpg progression system expanded upon, and the jokes more continuous.

Now surviving as a reclusive mercenary on the edge of a corrupted world, the formidable warrior must again wield a devastating combination of guns, blades, magic and wit to strike down the demonic legions overwhelming the world. Shadow Warrior 2 is the stunning evolution of Flying Wild Hog’s offbeat first-person shooter following the further misadventures of former corporate shogun Lo Wang.

Combine the brute force of overwhelming firepower with the elegant precision of a katana to annihilate the merciless armies of the shadow realm in an exhilarating and visually stunning transformation of the classic first-person shooter. Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the classic 3D Realms’ shooter from independent developer Flying Wild Hog starring the legendary and quick-witted warrior Lo Wang. The Shadow Warrior Collection includes both the first Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2.
