| Shadow Warrior Classic | GT Interactive;Devolver Digital (3D Realms) | 1997 | Un juego de acción estilo DOOM pero muchísimo más difícil y frenético. Se nota que está hecho para aficionados a juegos similares, ya que los enemigos más comunes son realmente duros y puedes acceder a casi todo el arsenal en cuestión de minutos. Brilla por unos bosses que son adrenalina pura y por los aprietos y sorpresas continuos en los que te ponen los enemigos, una pena que los controles no sean siempre del todo fiables y el uso de objetos secundarios peque de artificioso. Es gratis, merece la pena probarlo. Eso sí, como consejo guarda cada poco y no sobreescribas el anterior salvado. 6 de 10 | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Shadow Warrior Classic Redux | GT Interactive;Devolver Digital (3D Realms) | 1997 | Aunque técnicamente no es más que un remake del original, esta versión presenta no sólo unos gráficos más pulidos sino una clarísima mejora sobre el manejo de cámara y sobretodo en los objetos secundarios, ahora mucho más fáciles de usar. Además incluye 2 expansiones con nuevos enemigos y la versión original del juego. Todo ello le hace ser ligeramente mejor al juego en el que está basado, ya que la mejora sobre el control del personaje facilita ir a lo loco y que funcione. 7 de 10 | Windows | labelimageminimize |
