When it first hit store shelves way back in 2011, Shadows of the Damned\u2019s fate seemed all too certain. In a time where the market was governed by gritty, multiplayer-centric FPSs and a strong focus on replay value, a punk-rock-inspired, single-player-only shooter never really stood much of a chance. Even with famed developers Suda51 and Shinji Mikami plastered all over its promotional material, Shadows of the Damned crashed and burned, solidifying its cult classic status not too long out of the gate.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a twisted sense of irony that, over a decade later, this oft-forgotten, innuendo-soaked romp is poised to make a bit of a comeback<\/a> as an oasis of sorts; a short but fun single-player shooter amidst a sea of endless live-service cash grabs. It\u2019s by no means a perfect revival, and there\u2019s bound to be some controversy over the Hella Remastered tacked onto the title, but it\u2019s easy enough to overlook its shortcomings if you approach it with the proper perspective.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The original Shadows of the Damned has been reviewed and covered to death (pun intended) at this point, so there\u2019s no sense in examining it with a microscope. For those who need a brief refresher, you don the studded boots of demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who takes home awards both for \u201cmost over-the-top yet badass name\u201d and \u201cmost innuendos fired off in one minute.\u201d With your trusty Johnson by your side \u2014 who, for the record, is your wise-cracking demon sidekick who also doubles, err, triples, as your gun and motorcycle \u2014 you venture to the Underworld to rescue your girlfriend, Paula, who\u2019s been kidnapped by Fleming, the lord of the demons. Shadows of the Damned isn\u2019t looking to weave a complex narrative, instead leaning into the lighter side of horror. And of course, there\u2019s the game\u2019s trademark love of all things phallic. In the first few minutes alone, you\u2019ll be able to knock out most of the squares on your bingo card, and after hearing \u201cthrusting,\u201d \u201cpenetration,\u201d and \u201cone-eyed Willy\u201d in rapid succession, I stopped trying to keep track of each and every double entendre.<\/p>\n

The core gameplay can best be summed up as \u201cpeak Xbox 360,\u201d and I mean that with all the love in the world. There are plenty of similarities to the over-the-shoulder shooting popularized by the likes of Resident Evil 4, but Shadows of the Damned throws a few wrinkles into the mix. The most prominent is the interplay between light and darkness. Aside from the Underworld\u2019s dark aesthetic and tone, you\u2019ll also have to contend with the actual \u201cdarkness.\u201d Some areas you stumble across will be bathed in a dark gloom that slowly whittles away Garcia\u2019s health, forcing you to make a mad dash to the next source of light or find a goat\u2019s head somewhere nearby, which when shot by a light bullet, will dissipate the darkness. These light bullets are, thankfully, unlimited, and some enemies even need to be pelted with them to render them vulnerable to your traditional ammo.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

By today\u2019s standards, Shadows of the Damned might be a bit simplistic, but it\u2019s aged well enough and still has an undeniable appeal, especially if you\u2019re in the market for a no-frills shooter that doesn\u2019t outstay its welcome. That being said, there\u2019s the whole \u201cHella Remastered\u201d moniker, which is a bit less straightforward.<\/p>\n

To put it bluntly, the term \u201cremastered\u201d is being used very liberally, and depending on what you\u2019ve come to expect from games, given the remaster treatment, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. As best I can tell, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is, for all intents and purposes, the exact same game that launched all those years ago, save for a few minor additions. There\u2019s nothing in the way of higher-res textures, reworked assets or character models, or improved lighting and visual effects. In fact, as hinted at by the installation size, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered seems to be a 1:1 match for the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, save for a few new costumes that Garcia can sport, as well as a New Game Plus mode.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s very little in the way of any PC-specific features, and the only thing I could find was the option to remap the mouse and keyboard controls. And still, that\u2019s handled by a separate launcher. Input remapping can\u2019t even be done in-game, seeing as how there are no in-game menus for adjusting resolution, graphics settings and the like. Thankfully, the game does run at a higher frame rate this time around, though it\u2019s sadly capped at 62 frames per second, with some cutscenes dropping all the way down to 30.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If there\u2019s one saving grace, it\u2019s the asking price. At a mere $25, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is well worth the price of admission, especially once you consider how it\u2019s virtually unplayable on any other platform. The original PlayStation 3 version isn\u2019t available digitally, and while the Xbox 360 version is backward compatible on Xbox One and Series X|S, it still requires a physical disc, which will set you back around $30.<\/p>\n

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered Review: Final Verdict<\/h2>\n

By most metrics, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is the prime example of a barebones PC port, and I wouldn\u2019t begrudge anyone for being disappointed with what\u2019s on offer here. That being said, if you\u2019re looking for the most straightforward way to play a truly bizarre mishmash of juvenile humor and mindless fun, don\u2019t hesitate to pull the trigger on this one.<\/p>\n

SCORE: 7.5\/10<\/h2>\n

As ComingSoon\u2019s review policy<\/a> explains, a score of 7.5 equates to \u201cGood.\u201d A successful piece of entertainment that is worth checking out, but it may not appeal to everyone.<\/p>\n
