Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is a remaster of Lo Wang's ludicrous 1997 adventure with both expansions, achievements, OpenGL graphics and visuals, remastered audio, and modern PC compatibility. This is based on the JFSW/SWP source port with some additional code from EDuke32.
This isn't exactly viewed as the best way to play the game nowadays by most, due to technical issues present and being viewed as inferior to various community-developed alternatives that have sprung up in the years following Classic Redux's release.
Old Weapon Sprites#
Classic Redux uses modified versions of the Katana, Riot Gun, one of the Fists of Fury's attack sprites and the Shuriken's firing animation so that they don't show any cut-off parts in widescreen. However, the original sprites for those weapons are still in the game's files and go unused.
Original HUD#
The original HUD and all other elements related to it such as the inventory icons, fonts and meters, are still in the game's files but are replaced with more widescreen-friendly and redrawn versions.
Unused Cursors#
Present in the data/assets folder is several unused cursors, cursor1.png, cursor3.png and cursor4.png. cursor2.png is used instead of these.3
In addition to this, there is also swcursor.png, which is completely different from the other cursors, being tilted to the side.
