"It's the American Civil War in a steampunk alternaverse. Just as the Confederacy battles the Union, bad actors wage daily war with uncomfortable, over-earnest scripts.
But all these things are under threat from Lord Prescott, an industrialist whose corporation threatens to take over America with automatic men and drug-controlled super-humans.
It all sounds interesting. But Damnation does everything in its power to alienate you, and while I'm about to try and explain why it's actually quite enjoyable, I've got to run through its major problems first."
Verdict
Great platforming, shame about the rest
Uppers
* Grand sense of scale
* Intelligently designed levels
* Satisfying (if limited) platforming
Downers
* Empty combat
* Unfinished and unprofessional
We don’t finish it, but we’re finished with it.
We feel pretty damned in this steampunk shooter.
This Week on Digital Fiasco: Gearing up for PSX 2016, Duke Nukem (Who wants some?), Nintendo quashes VGA nominations for fan games, Square-Enix hates sharing. Also we take No Man’s Sky down to the Foundation, and talk about the new 1.1 patch and the end of Sean Murray’s long silence, but first, we discuss being buried under our backlogs on Black Friday. All of that and more on this episode of Digital Fiasco.
