The combat is a little on the clunky side and trying to use melee weapons on smaller enemies such as worms is near enough impossible. As such if you are able to keep a cool head, proceed with caution and shoot straight at the drop of a hat then you shouldn’t have too much trouble progressing. Many of the creatures you’ll encounter are coded to charge at you mindlessly with little AI or attack patterns. Doors never actually physically open, instead each door you interactive with will trigger a short fade transition and load the next room.Įnemies do not roam free and tend to only attack when approached, so the combat is spread out amongst areas of exploration and tension building, similar to a Silent Hill or Resident Evil title. The hospital is essentially a labyrinth of corridors and small rooms.
It’s hardly subtle, but I was engrossed and curious to learn more as I played.Īt its core Dementium is a first person shooter, however it isn’t an ‘all guns blazing’ state of affairs as it also overlaps with elements of survival horror and even some light puzzle solving.
A short distance later I came across a piece of graffiti which simply read ‘Murderer’. Within the first room of the game you’ll find a notebook with the words ‘Why did you do it?’ etched on the front page. While exploring the hospital, the game will continuously drop heavy-handed hints that the reason you have been brought here is because of your tainted past. You’re thrown into a pit and wake up in a hospital bed. The ward is infested with demons and creatures of the damned. You begin the game being wheeled through a hospital ward against your will. The plot of Dementium is brief and obscure. Originally released as ‘Dementium: The Ward” on Nintendo 3DS, this first person horror game has been beautifully restored with full 3D gameplay, smoother 3D models and a more balanced challenge. However, this week I have had the opportunity to try out something a bit more mature with “Dementium (remastered)”. The majority of games available (both in stores and the eShop) are of the family friendly variety, and there is a lot of fun to be had with them. When browsing through the 3DS catalogue, it’s pretty clear to see that this handheld is marketed towards a young audience.
