Grasshopper Manufacture has announced Shadows of the Damned Remaster, the third person action shooter that originally released in 2011. There is no release date yet or confirmation of platforms for Shadows of the Damned Remaster, but there may be details of that during Grasshopper Manufacture’s direct on June 15th.
The story follows demon hunter Garcia Hotspur who comes home to find that the Lord of Demons has kidnapped his girlfriend, and will kill her over and over in the underworld. Garcia cannot stop him initially, but he descends to the underworld with his demon ally Johnson. Johnson is also Garcia’s main weapon taking on the shape of a gun, as well as taking the form of a torch and motorcycle too. The game does have some environmental puzzles to complete too, which Garcia navigates by using light bullets to push back the darkness. The darkness is pockets of the underworld that would damage Garcia, taking his health and eventually killing him if he stays in those areas for too long.
In our original 2011 review for Shadows of the Damned, nofi wrote,“Shadows Of The Damned provides eight hours or so of some of the best third person shooting we’ve seen for ages – it’s well produced, expertly paced and deliciously funny. It’s not scary, by any stretch, but it doesn’t need or want to be – this isn’t played for scares, more for cheap shock and fun, and it manages that perfectly. Sure, it’s not for everyone and once it’s done it’s done (there’s no New Game +) but if you’re looking for something to blast through this weekend this might just be your tonic.”
