Shadows of the Damned: Remastered is a remastered version of a creative shooter with horror elements from 2011. It was developed by the same studio as the original game, Grasshopper Manufacture.
Shadows of the Damned: Remastered stars Garcia Hotspur, a motorcyclist and professional demon hunter. When he learns the ruler of hell - Fleming - has kidnapped his beloved, he embarks on a private crusade and delves deep into the underground. Fortunately he's not alone, as he's supported by a talking (and helpful) skull named Johnson and other allies met along the way.
Shadows of the Damned: Remastered is a third-person game (TPP). The game is set in numerous diverse, atmospheric locations full of enemies. In aside to numerous regular foes we'll also face much more powerful bosses. Our primary weapon is Johnson, able to transform into a torch (used in melee combat) or firearms - pistols, shotguns and machine guns. The game has no regenerating health; to heal, we must drink alcohol. As we progress through the game we develop Garcia and Johnson, increasing their combat potential.
Apart from fighting enemies we must also frequently solve environmental puzzles. Puzzles task you with dispelling darkness, which drains Garcia's health and makes his foes invulnerable. To get rid of it, we must usually fire light at the nearby goat head or get rid of the demon generating it.
There are also occasional action platforming minigames.
Shadows of the Damned: Remastered stands out from the original game with its enhanced visuals.

Game Ratings for Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Chris Shive
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is a refined version of the 2011 cult classic. The visuals are smoother, the game mechanics feel more natural, but aside from the minor face lift and some new costumes, this is exactly how we remember it. Outside of New Game+, all the changes and updates to Shadows of the Damned ar minor. This is great news for purists who love the original how it is, but it also makes some mechanics feel dated. For players who are fine with average game mechanics and enjoy juvenile humor, however, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered remains a good enough time that's worth revisiting. It might not be an incredibly deep game, but there's still something satisfying about decapitating demons with a sentient shotgun.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Ken Talbot
A funny, goofy shooter that ultimately feels just as much of a missed opportunity as it did in 2010. Visual inconsistencies and frustrating mechanics aside, Shadows Of The Damned can still offer a good time for those looking for one, but it's a shame that this remaster doesn't do enough to polish Grasshopper's cult gem and make it palatable to modern audiences.
PlayStation Universe: 8 / 10 by Timothy Nunes
Not much of the original game changed in the Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. Instead, this re-release opted to sharpen existing graphics, add motion controller support to aiming, and include a New Game+. Either way, Shadows of the Damned has aged surprisingly well, all things considered. This makes for a great deal at $25, no matter how you slice it.
