Beneath its rather contrived schlock horror exterior,Damnedis a conventional third-person shooter.
Enraged, Garcia flings himself into the closing portal after them.
There are cobbled streets closed off with stone architecture and iron railings.
There are sinister statues and black towers lurking in the foggy distance.
And then there are demons, which come in a variety of flavours, all of them unpleasant.
Rank-and-file demons are most quickly despatched with a well-aimed headshot.
Each gun can fire both regular bullets and the light shots mentioned earlier.
Light shots are therefore the players key to solving the games occasional puzzle elements.
There are other occasions, too, where youll have to use the darkness for your own ends.
There are fish-like creatures that emit light, which lead a path through dark corridors.
There are locked gates that can only be opened by feeding them strawberries or brains hidden elsewhere.
Blowing away demons makes up the larger percentage ofDamneds gameplay, and its fun, if a little repetitive.
In some instances, these encounters can be quite breathtaking.
What makesShadows Of The Damnedmore than just another shooter, though, is its story and script.
