Following the gameplay trailer earlier this month, publisher Devolver Digital and developer Flying Wild Hog have released the full 17-minute “Way to Motoko” gameplay walkthrough for Shadow Warrior 3.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Fallen corporate shogun Lo Wang and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla embark on an improbable mission to recapture an ancient dragon they unwillingly unleashed from its eternal prison. Armed with a punishing mix of blades and bullets, Lo Wang must traverse uncharted parts of the world to track down the dark beast and push the apocalypse back yet again. All it will take is the mask of a dead god, a dragon’s egg, a touch of magic, and enough firepower to hold off the impending cataclysm.
Key features
