Shadow Warrior launch trailer brings explosive weapons, musical interludes

It seems '80s pop rock isn't going anywhere.

It seems '80s pop rock isn't going anywhere. In fact, it was only last night I was super-sprinting through Saint Row IV's virtual Steelport to Stan Bush's The Touch. Now it's back again, in the launch trailer to the equally absurd Shadow Warrior. Flying Wild Hog's re-imagining of 3D Realms' other game is out now, and available at a 10% discountuntil October 3rd.

"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."

Hopefully it's a more enjoyable retro romp than the remake of Rise of the Triad. Despite great multiplayer, that game was let down by its uneven campaign and bizarre checkpointing.
