Motoko is also barely featured and seemingly exists just for one plot contrivance (and for Wang to poke fun at). Despite misgivings about Kamiko seemingly being retconned, the set-up starts off interestingly, even if it does quickly veer away from the interesting friends-turned-enemies dynamic of Wang and Zilla. Shadow Warrior 3’s campaign mostly succeeds with its pacing, quickly moving along without much delay. But sometimes the writing goes to the well a little too often for innuendo and crass humor." "Wang’s immature yet faithful attitude is captured well in a good amount of dialogue. Somehow, Hoji’s mask holds the answer but can this team of angry misfits hold it together long enough to co-exist? Instead, the dragon has been wreaking havoc on the world and Lo Wang is focused on killing it, teaming with his old nemesis Orochi Zilla and the cranky witch Motoko. So you’d be forgiven for not seeing a single mention of Kamiko at all (or how Lo Wang survived being eaten. The story takes place shortly after the events of Shadow Warrior 2, which saw Kamiko transform into a massive dragon to seal the gateway between the Human World and the Shadow World. This may not be the most epic single-player shooter campaign of 2022 but it’s a fun time, for as long as you can savor it.
It retains the grindhouse-level gore of its predecessor while presenting a more focused, linear narrative (sometimes to a fault) with above average levels of crassness.
Shadow Warrior 3 is a smorgasbord of shooting and slashing, topped with wall-running, grappling, executions and other relevant action game tropes.
