Lo Wang Classic Redux stops at level 4?

[MurrAY!]

I recently bought Shadow Warrior Classic redux for $9.99. I had the Free to play version before that and noticed it stopped after attempting to kill the Snake Boss. I bought the Redux thinking it was the full game but it also stops at level 4 at the exact same level. Does anyone know what is wrong? Does the Redux game only have 4 levels? Really confused and would appreciate help. Thank you

The 4 levels were originally the 'shareware' episode and the game stopped there until you bought the 'registered' version.

In this case, the first episode ends after the 4th level and you need to select the second episode from the main menu to continue the game :)

hell man, i'm surprised they didn't make this game as long as "Duke Nukem 3D", since it has 4 episodes, while "Shadow Warrior" only had 2 (prior to the Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon expansions)

If I am correct they were almost as long. When duke launched it had 3 not 4 episodes. It had around 30 levels with around 6 secret levels. Some duke levels are also rather short. Shadow Warrior launched with 22 levels (not many secret levels) and most of them are larger then duke's. Add in the expansions for both games and I think Shadow warrior is a lot bigger then Duke. I never really compared my playtime for one playthrough so I can't be sure though...

I'm not sure myself, I think it would have been easy to break Shadow Warrior into 3 episodes probably but maybe 3D Realms was moving away from it since losing your weapons at the end of an episode was annoying.

The original Duke Nukem 3D had 28 levels. The plutonium Pak adds 11 levels. Duke it out in DC: 10 and Duke Caribbean: 8. Not including Duke Nuclear Winter (which sucks), you get 57 great levels.

The original Blood had 34 levels + Plasma Pak (9) + Crytic Passage (10) = 53 great levels.

The original Shadow Warrior gives you 22 levels. Twin Dragon gives you another 13 and Wanton Destruction: 12. Total = 47 levels.

probably the main reason why "Shadow Warrior" felt longer, at least for first-time players, is not only looking for secrets, but also backtracking throughout a level to pick up needed supplies before proceeding to the next.

You are right: I somehow didn't count duke dc or caribbean... Still the levels in shadow warrior are bigger ;)
