ORIGINAL POST - 7/8/2011:
I know, we have a thread on digital deals [things you pay $ for], but often I feel those free ones get lost in the mix w/ the other deals.
So, I want to do a whole thread on nothing but FREE Digital Deals and keep stacking them in their very own thread.
So, here we go....

Got an email about it last night.  Don't know anything about the game, but now it's in my account.

Shadow Warrior 2 is a sequel to the Shadow Warrior 2013 Reboot.
Flying Hog Wild is behind both.

SW 2013 is an old-school style linear-style FPS w/ modern-day graphics.

Shadow Warrior 2 is some kind evolution into looter-shooter turf. It's some kind of FPS/ARPG combo with randomized elements (often in side-quests - where enemies, weather, conditions, map lay-outs, etc. are randomized), open-world elements, a hub area even (where you upgrade and get quests from), and whatnot. If you want, it also had 4 player co-op supported.

The old Shadow Warrior [1997] was on the Build Engine, which 3D Realms developed a long time ago, after they did DN3D. That was an old-school style linear FPS, like DN3D. Of course, it has the crass and references galore in its humor, as 3DR's known for.

I actually heard a lot of really good things about SW2. I wasn't especially interested at first, but I read a couple reviews that got me curious. I wasn't that into the first reboot game, though. It wasn't terrible, but not enough to keep me going past a couple hours of fiddling with it. Apparently I missed this freebie, which sucks.
