Pretty much every enemy in the game is made up of two categories, boring and annoying. It’s inexcusable to have save points be safe-houses and health refills when the map can’t even properly tell you where that save point is. The map will show the wrong information regarding locked doors, possible paths and sometimes even where save points are. The game feels small and sloppy as every area awkwardly fades in and out with a black transition, nothing feels connected and it doesn’t help that the in-game map will often lie to you. The story and maps are out of the DS game with little to no changes, which is where one of the first problems come in. I work under full disclosure with these things and I will not be playing Dementium II HD for another minute to get this review out.ĭementium II HD is, like the name suggests, a enhanced port of the DS game rebuilt with new assets for PC. If you by any means consider this review devalued because of that, feel free to stop here.
First of all, I want to inform everyone reading that I did not finish this game, for reasons I will explain in the review.
So, back to Dementium II HD and how that managed to tear down every good memory I had of the prior games. I like both of these games, especially the first one. Both the games used the system to its strengths and worked within the limitations they had to do the best they could. Both being first person horror titles designed as 3D metroidvanias with more ambition than most other 3D titles on the system. The two Dementium games by Renegade Kid were quite amazing feats on the Nintendo DS. A depressing level of bad in a way.īefore I get into why I feel this way about Dementium II HD, let me talk about the original Dementium games first. Have you ever played a game that manages to properly upset you? I’m not talking about playing a game that makes you angry or even disappointed here, I’m talking about playing a game that’s bad in such a special way that it makes you not want to play any videogame at all.
