As far as game introductions go, this one is a swift and painless process.
The opening sequence cuts between introducing the game's narrative and flashbacks of gameplay which introduce you to the game's mechanics. With the main character named Wang, you would have thought that by the third offering all phallic jokes would be, for want of a better word, milked.
#Shadow warrior 3 playthrough series
You are immediately reintroduced to the tongue in cheek, off-colour humour that the series has been known for. Shadow Warrior 3 starts out with a wonderfully animated piece to camera from a Lo Wang fraught with distress over his recent escapades. Where the game excels is in its frenetic gameplay. Fortunately, Shadow Warrior 3 doesn't do its talking through the story.
It feels like the narrative was more of an afterthought that would have been better placed as DLC for the previous title. Aside from Lo Wang and Orochi Zilla, there are just two more story characters in the whole game. It’s definitely a downgrade in the quality of storytelling from the previous two installments. It’s an exceptionally one-dimensional story and that’s about as deep as it gets. The clumsy katana-wielding ninja has inadvertently unleashed an ancient dragon from its eternal prison, and now it's up to him and his former employer turned nemesis turned sidekick Orochi Zilla to embark on an improbable mission to recapture the dragon. Despite the very ambiguous ending to Shadow Warriors 2, Lo Wang is in fact alive and well. Something that hasn’t changed in Shadow Warrior 3 is the main character Lo Wang.
