Shadows of the Damned is an action-adventure game taking place in a super-eccentric “Hell + rock & roll”-themed world, originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2011.
The game takes players on a wild ride with demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, as he kicks demon ass and makes his way through the darkest depths of Hell, lighting up the darkness with his burning passion on a mission to rescue his true love from an insidious demon king.
A crazy, passionate, raging “love-hate road movie”
The rugged and somewhat-misguided protagonist Garcia and his sidekick, Johnson the skull, rock out with their... hearts out throughout the insanity of Hell in order to recapture his girlfriend Paula, who has been kidnapped by Fleming, the demon king of Hell.
Go buck wild through the hilarious dungeons of Hell using powers of “light & dark”
“Light and dark” are the keys to winning this battle. In the darkness, the demons grow in strength – as if they were rocking out in the club – and in the light, they weaken, like waking up with a hardcore hangover. Use your partner Johnson and his myriad weapon-based forms to blast your way through the darkness of Hell.
An action-adventure gem forged by a pair of amazing game creators
A scenario by Suda51 and Shinji Mikami’s TPS artistry fused together in a masterpiece!
Respective notable works:
Goichi “Suda51” Suda: No More Heroes series, killer7, etc.
Shinji Mikami: Resident Evil, God Hand, etc.
