With the arrival in stores of Shadows of the Damned: Hella RemasteredGoichi Suda, or friends Suda51, thought of offering a brief overview of the game for those who missed the original for PS3 and Xbox 360 from 2011. In this sense, in his opinion, to explain the plot just think about “Super Mario, but in Hell“.
At least this is the explanation he offered during an interview with Destructoid, which we translate below:
“One last thing I wanted to say is that probably a lot of people out there don’t understand exactly what Shadows of the Damned is about,” Suda 51 said. “To put it in very simple terms, in the story you have Garcia who is a demon hunter and has the love of his life, Paula, who is kidnapped and taken to Hell by Flemming, this badass demon. So Garcia and his friend Johnson go through the depths of Hell to eliminate Flemming and get Paula back.”
“To put it in even simpler terms, perhaps for Nintendo fans, if Garcia is like Mario, Flemming is like Bowser. Paula would be like Peach and Johnson would be Luigi. Basically, it’s the exact same Mario love triangle. It’s pretty much the exact same story. It’s like Super Mario Bros., but in Hell.”
It’s like Super Mario… but don’t let kids play with it
Clearly Suda’s comment is ironic and for this reason in another point of the interview he specified that, despite the comparison with Super Mario Bros., Shadows of the Damned It is not a recommended game for children.
“The thing that concerns me a little is that all the families out there who have kids and Switches need to make sure that their kid hasn’t bought the game or stolen it from someone or something. I don’t want to and I can’t take responsibility”
Before leaving you, we remind you that Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered will be available during 2024 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. Last month we saw a new trailer at PAX East 2024.
