![]() ![]() You don’t know your name, why you’re there or what’s going on, and things only get worse from there. You start out waking up in a mental institution. But Dementium isn’t only about the graphics, so let me wind it back a bit and discuss the premise of the game. ![]() ![]() Enemies are more terrifyingly aware, light realistically illuminates surfaces and each shadow is pregnant with despair. The graphics in Dementium Remastered are quite simply leaps and bounds beyond the original. Below is a look at some original screens from Dementium: The Ward. The picture above is one of the basic enemies from the game. Please note, the graphics at the time the original released were amazing, but, in retrospect, look a bit grainy and primitive. ![]() Was Dementium Remastered the return to form I wanted? Or should this game have stayed a simple DS nightmare?īefore I get too far into things, let me show you just how much the graphics have improved in Dementium Remastered. I always wanted to have an excuse to revisit and beat the original, and as fate would have it, the fine folks at Renegade Kid decided to bring back their original horror classic for the 3DS, completely remastering the graphics and adding new features such as save rooms to make it far more playable. It did not, however, keep me from beating the sequel. Combined with my lack of skill at horror and FPS games, this made it an insurmountable feat for me. That might not sound too bad, but unfortunately, every time you enter a room, all the cleared out monsters would respawn. Which is why it was so disappointing that the original was held back by numerous flaws that essentially prevented me from beating the game. For one thing, the game automatically would save every time you went through a door. It had graphics and gameplay that not only worked on the system, but almost transcended its limits. And in many ways, that is how I would describe the original Dementium: The Ward. Nintendo is hardly known for their roster of horror games, but I find whenever one is made specifically for one of their consoles, it is remarkable. I can still clearly remember my excitement when I found a horror game was headed to my DS some eight years ago. I have a bit of a long history with Dementium.
