A FirstPersonShooter based on the famous [[UsefulNotes/GameEngine Build engine]] of ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'' fame, ''Shadow Warrior'' had the misfortune of being released in 1997, when the sprite-based shooters were already showing their age (compare ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'', which was based on the same engine and released the same year, but is better remembered). Among the first shooters to contain now-common features such as controllable vehicles, [[SecondaryFire alternate weapon firing modes]], bosses with more going for them than [[DamageSpongeBoss lots of HP]], and lower enemy variety with slower pace. The game, like most of the other Build engine games like it (particularly ''VideoGame/RedneckRampage''), is characterized by its [[VulgarHumor crude humor]] and by gratuitous application of the RuleOfCool.
