Shadows of the Damned Review // COIN-OP TV

[Farihz]

I don't know about yo guys,but I like this kind of review. It's like asking for friends opinion on the game. Just down to earth kinda interaction,nothing too serious and all around fun.

Thanks for the review,appreciate it!

[AndromechA]

it's a DAMN FUN GAME! Glad I bought it, I mean it corporates a lot of games like Resident Evil, Dante's Inferno, Dead Space, Alan Wake, Devil May Cry, No More Heroes, hell even Portal

[coinoptv]

@AndromechA yeah lotsa people loved Shadows!

Great review. I also loved the Alan Wake style light/dark system (AW is one of my fav games ever). Love the high video quality of the review as well. SUBSCRIBED :)

The world needs more stunningly beautiful women who actually play video games.

The goddamn truth.

[gamefreak6667]

Could have elaborated a bit more on what made the game good. A fair chunk of the review was criticising the glitches, but when it come to positive points "everything else is awesome". How and why?

[aawells07]

I like reviews that dont seem scripted as it seems more from the heart. Id like to see more of Esky.

[Melonie86]

Eksy so prettayyyy!

[EksyTime]

@Melonie86 Noooo, you! <3

[Riselem]

And the last thing I will say is to stop using the word gameplay.

Read the insomnia.ac article "The Stupidest Word in Videogames".

[FearlessHyena82]

Thanks for the great review Eksy! :)

[EksyTime]

@FearlessHyena82 And thank you for watching! :)

[Riselem]

Let me also point out that the sidescrolling parts are so poorly done that the only challenge they offer is figuring out how to avoid prevalent glitches that kill the player. Not sure why you talked about the sidescrolling for so long in your review--there are only 3 of these levels...

[FuggYew666]

@EksyTime I love the game too. Its awesome. Just feel its way too short. Oh well, hopefully they will make a sequel to this game!

Nice review by the way.

[Riselem]

Not being able to move and shoot in RE4 draws enemies in and increases the tension. There is no tension in Shadow Of The Damned because the dodging mechanic destroys any challenge one could have. There is no awesome feeling from beating piss-poor sidescrolling levels. This is a bad game. Next time you should mention things like the enemy ai (who will run up and rub against your character instead of attacking),boss battles that drag on forever and revolve around boring strats, etc.

[EksyTime]

@Riselem Ah, I was just never a fan of that. In a game like Dead Space, I feel that there were HUGE amounts of tension even though one could one move and shoot. There are definitely other ways of creating that feeling.

I agree - dodge mechanic made things a little too easy. I'm not sure how hardmode compares since I played it at medium.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and critique. :D

[kavice2006]

i agree with u but in my book one of the best games of the year

[spawnabhi]

this seems like a home made review ... she is not even sure wht she wanna say ..

[coinoptv]

@spawnabhi thx for checking out the video -- the reviews are in 'vlog' format which is very unscripted -- have you checked out our interviews with developers on location?

[NinjaNinus69]

@EksyTime Great review. Was this game, like, scary? Or just flat-out creepy? :)

[EksyTime]

@NinjaNinus69 I know if you Wiki it, the game is called a "survival horror" but, the scares are really few and far between. There isn't quite enough vulnerability to elicit a real scare.

There is, however, enough power to make you feel like a BAMF.

For a more thrilling experience, Dead Space 1 + 2 still freak me out.

[phatcheese1000]

the world needs more cute girls doing game reviews

[EksyTime]

@phatcheese1000 Too kind. :)

[Broshmosh]

There's no excuse for glitchy programming in gaming nowadays. We're paying through the teeth to line their pockets; the least they could do is make sure we don't get stuck in place unneccessarily.

[EksyTime]

@Broshmosh Indeed - While the issue isn't game-breaking for me, it removes some of the shine and polish a game should have.

[DJoe125]

great review, looking forward to play it

PS : you should work on the way you talk a little bit harder ;)

[EksyTime]

@DJoe125 Ahah, thanks for the feedback. Definitely looking forward to doing more of these and improving along the way. :)

[Febrezay]

Awesome review, I'm just starting act 4. I love the soundtrack for this game, to bad I didn't preorder the game at Gamestop to get a chance to get the full soundtrack.

I like the vid but their should be some causal music playing in the background to add more of that good stuff.

[EksyTime]

@Febrezay Yeah, I need to find a way to get my hands on the soundtrack as well!

[FwizGamingLive]

Good stuff!

[jutin77]

yeah. I'm really interested in the game. Good review! She knows her stuff!!

[EksyTime]

@jutin77 Thank you! Get back at me when you do play it - let me know what you think. :)

[alliedvoyd]

Great review. I'm looking forward to playing this one. I just hope I can get past the frustrating parts!

[EksyTime]

@alliedvoyd Oh, you will.

And the end is glorious! :D
