Sohanon Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Pretty much what the title of the thread says. I was considering picking it up, but I wasn't so sure of it, due to the backlog of games I currently need to finish. I hear the humor in it is pretty well, and if this is true, that's a great incentive for me to purchase it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little replay value though, and if you end up doing 3 playthroughs for the platinum, it feels a bit tedious by the end. I'd say only buy it if it's cheap, otherwise it's a great rental.

Pabs_85 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 One of my favorite games, surprisingly good, wish I'd got it sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backlash24 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Absolutely! It's such a solid title. Especially the first time around (8/10) though going for the platinum -- as another posted eluded too -- is a tad tedious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4manaka Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nice game with a lot of dark humour (remember me to Evil Dead, and not only for the references to the movie), loved it even if its controls were a bit stiff sometimes (hated when they jumped me to the sides).

leptonic Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 imo... i didn't like it, but i think it's just me, I rented it months ago and couldn't finish it, needed motivation to do it lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyElms Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I thought this game was awsome, definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe111eleven111 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I like it a lot but there are a few sections of the game that keep it from being great. It should available for pretty cheap now so it's probably worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, u can get the plat fast enough and also have a fun with this game, which is pretty cool. Beware, u'll gonna need 3 playthrough and the final boss battle on Hard (Legion Hunter) maybe b a real pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalchaos72 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 In my opinion this game was absolutely amazing. i enjoyed platting it, you should really try it. give it a rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetollo7 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sorry to bump this but I wanted to offer my opinion. I'm very ashamed of myself for not playing this game sooner. My buddy had been pestering me to play it for almost a year and a half and of course I kept putting it off. So I finally decided to play it and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere has a nice horror vibe to it and the game is also pretty gory, which is cool. As an added bonus there is a great comedic element to the game which makes it more light hearted and fun and simply adds to the fun of playing the game. The gameplay and shooting mechanics are also very solid and intuitive (reminded me a lot of RE4 which is a good thing). The characters are also unique and enjoyable, especially Johnson. He is by far one of the best videogame characters of this gen. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed Shadows of the Damned and would highly recommend it to anyone who is somewhat curious about the game.

azazel666x Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Awesome game and fun platinum to get! I wouldn't miss it! Suda51 is a trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06lt Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ive got this in my backlog still in the wrapper. I may never actually get to it though, I guess since it was a limited release it may have some monetary value in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBallad Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I picked one of these up at Kmart for 5$, will probably play it... eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torik Shai Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Just finished this last night, I really enjoyed it. For anyone on the fence wondering what it's like, if Robert Rodriguez wrote and directed his own adaptation of Dante's Inferno, I imagine it would turn out a lot like Shadows of the Damned.

Tiberius Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm about halfway through the game right now, rather unique and enjoyable. Definitely worth getting in my opinion. Suda 51 makes some really awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakoV5 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Very fun game to play. Bizarre humour, good detail, great combat, cheesy dialogue. The game is all about action packed OTT and not about taking itself seriously. Must buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittyeating Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 so is this a horror title or action never really noticed it before. what games out there is this like and whats it better/worse than? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonChipotle Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 so is this a horror title or action never really noticed it before. what games out there is this like and whats it better/worse than? its an action game with gore, potty language, some nudes with crude humor... not something scary like silent hill games. tbh, there are no similar games, its a must grab for the low price it has and for the replay value it have. the gameplay its similar to RE4, adapted in a more DMC upgrade system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
