【Game Introduction】
Five years have passed since Wang Luo shattered the alliance between the former boss and the ancient gods of the shadow world, and despite his noble intentions, Wang Luo wants to work hard to destroy the dark and corrupt world, but creates a strange and barbaric new order, where humans and demons live side by side. In the game, slashing and exploding brings players the most intuitive and refreshing experience, in the game you don't need to worry too much, all the way to kill all the way to shoot is enough!
【Review Preface】
Shadow Samurai was first released on the dos platform in '97, and with its good graphics (although today it all seems to be mosaic), excellent gameplay, it laid the original standard for first-person shooter fps games of that era. Some other games of the same genre during the same period were more or less affected by it. In 2013, the once classic version was remade to run on a new system, allowing more players to learn about the game. To this day, the classic version is still retained on steam, after all, there are still many players who have left a feeling in it.
The 97 Classic Edition is how many players have memories
The protagonist of the game is named Wang Luo (lo wang), even in the case of the official declaration that he is a Chinese martial monk, how to look at the game is a Japanese samurai, for European and American manufacturers can not distinguish the cultural differences between China and Japan is not strange, but fluent English and a variety of diet jokes make people a bit of drama. Now that I think about it, the previous game has not been lowly evaluated, and the shadow samurai that has been precipitated for nearly 20 years needs to be carefully savored whether we can experience the fun of keeping pace with the times.

【Pictures and details】
The improvement of the picture is unquestionable in the sequel series, but while improving the picture performance, it will not have too high requirements for hardware but becomes an uncertain factor (I am not talking about the graphics CardZi blind rumor). The author experiences the mid-range configuration of the i5+960 machine, and it is still very easy to run 80 frames under the default settings, and I believe that even if the full special effects are opened, it can still have a good fluency.
The light of the game scene shows a variety of styles with the scene change, or the serene in the wild, or the mystery of technology, all of which seem just right. The divergence effect of the light source is soft, compared with the angular enemy monsters and the weapons in Wang Luo's hands, it is not so messy, after the battle, walk around to see, you can also use the own photo mode to harvest some wallpaper, why not enjoy it?
The improvement of the picture is not only reflected in the whole, but also in the small places. Whether it is the texture of the npc character's clothing, or the barrel of the gun due to rapid shooting, the barrel heat turns red, which has left a lot of good feelings for the author. Compared with the dress on the NPC, the model of the character himself looks slightly rough. When you slash npcs with your sword, you won't do any harm to them, but you will still burst out a lot of blood, which is also a bit strange to watch.
The front barrel heats up and turns red
【Inheritance and Integration】
The most impressive of the Shadow Samurai is probably their rich weapon system, which allows players to choose between melee combat or ranged ways to pass the level. In Shadow Samurai 2, this feature is fully preserved, with melee katana, spin attacks, charge attacks, and ranged firearms adding right-click aiming, and using the revolver standard to ensure that players shout that noon has arrived. There is no disparity in damage between the two types of combat, and a gun assault or sword slash can kill a bloody path. At the same time, in order to facilitate the player to quickly switch between near and far weapons, the corresponding shortcut keys are specially set up so that they will not be too flustered when they are protruded.
Newly added firearms aimed
The feel of the short-range attack in the game is maintained at a high level, but in the author's experience, the gun - especially the Uzi submachine gun obtained early in the game - the shooting feel is actually quite bad, the sound effect is small, and there is no matching sense of blow. In the core gameplay action of the game, due to the first-person reason, the camera rolls when landing on the ground at a high place, the line of sight switching and weapon effect when rotating the charge attack enhance the authenticity of the game experience to a certain extent, but also turn away the player who is 3D vertigo.
The entire lens also rotates when the rotation attack is made
When it comes to inheritance, I have to say that the production team's obsession with rabbits, in the world of demons, rabbits can still occupy a place in the wild, and their ability to reproduce is inseparable (laughs, players who found the eggs in the previous game should understand). And if the player is so fierce that even the rabbit is not spared, after killing a few more times, there may be a rabbit incarnated as a monster reborn from the corpse and fight back against the player. In addition, the mosaic girl that can be found in the corner is almost the same as the Easter egg in the 97 version.
Classic arcade, interactive can also hear the corresponding bgm
A continuation of the previous generation's Easter eggs
The biggest difference between this game and the previous game is the equipment slot mechanism added to the game. With this, the overall style of the game is more inclined to brush brush arpg games. The plug-ins in each equipment need to obtain higher quality by constantly killing monsters, and the addition of online mode is also in line with the positioning of today's single-player games, inviting three or five friends to fight together in the world where technology and magic style coexist, which is still good. The gameplay that incorporates new elements is bound to go further on the basis of the already rich gameplay.
In order to get better module quality, don't you want to brush and brush?
The addition of online mode will be a major highlight
【Evaluation Summary】
"Shadow Samurai 2" has gained a good reputation in a short period of time while improving the picture, with good optimization. The addition of the equipment expansion system and the character skill system makes the gameplay of the game biased towards the brush game, and the multiplayer support allows the fun brought by the game to be maximized. Camera shaking and field of view rotation for first-person short-distance combat can cause discomfort to 3D vertigo players. The Easter eggs are still there, as long as you are willing to look for them.
