“This is Resident Evil 4 rewritten by a 12-year-old obsessed with d— jokes. As it turns out, that’s a good thing… Shadows of the Damned is unapologetically adolescent, but instead of trying to be cutely ironic and wink at players, the humor comes off as genuine, playful, and fun.”
—Game Informer

“In short, Shadows of the Damned is insensitive, puerile, gross, incredibly profane and … kind of wonderful.”
—Joystiq

“…the overall plot and impressively performed dialog is just so charmingly out-there that one cannot help laughing along… one of the funniest mindfucks this industry has to offer.”
