I just brought this game and bulletstorm 10 bucks each, i tried shadows of the damned and i gotta say it's an amazing game very underrated, game-play wise it's like re4 mixed with re5 with the technical level of uncharted, anyone played it?

Yes..

Shadows of the Damned is DAMN GOOD FUN.

Seriously, all these Call of Cuties, and Gears of Bars, and people pass this up...?

It's a cult classic, but sales are abysmal, all total, probably under 100,000 units sold, maybe not even 50,000, but it's Suda51.

Still, the game just screams a love child by the developers. This is a game designed to be fun, not make profit. Profit is a bonus. They would have made this game regardless if they could sell it or not, you can tell.

Mexican Bruce Campell.



One of my favorite games in years. Reminds me of the PS2, when games were new and fun, and not just a cash in.

I agree 100%, you just can't get bored when you play the action is non stop just as the fun while keeping a dark heavy atmosphere to the game.

I remember a trailer from a game that looked like a re style but you could burn and freeze enemies, unfortunately i don't remember the name.

I wonder if there is more game like shadows of the damned, kind of a copy-cat while being original..
