About
"Damned" is a horror action game that supports up to 5 players, including 4 survivors and 1 monster, in online co-op gameplay. Survivors must escape haunted places by finding keys and items, while avoiding the monster. The monster, with unique hunting styles, aims to kill survivors. However, the game is poorly optimized, very buggy, and has a lot of grinding, but it also offers a dense atmosphere and some humor.

- The atmosphere and sound design create a genuinely terrifying experience.
- The concept of a player-controlled monster adds a unique twist to the horror genre.
- The game is riddled with bugs and crashes frequently, making it frustrating to play.
- There is a lack of clear instructions and objectives, leading to confusion during gameplay.
- The optimization is poor, resulting in low frame rates and performance issues even on high-end systems.

122 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of this game is characterized by its unique asymmetrical mechanics, where players can experience both monster and survivor roles, each with distinct abilities that contribute to a tense, horror-filled atmosphere. While many players appreciate the innovative design and cooperative elements, criticisms arise regarding balance issues, repetitive maps, and technical problems such as lag and bugs, which can detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game offers engaging moments, especially when played with friends, but may become stale or frustrating over time due to its simplicity and lack of depth.
