Review: Dementium: the Ward

  Dementium: The Ward

The gunplay is augmented by the excellent controls, which have been fine-tuned about as well as they can be. All the action takes place on the top screen, but your stylus acts to change your view on the bottom screen, while the directional pad/buttons move you and the shoulder buttons fire. It sounds wonky on paper, but in practice it’s about as close to a PC mouse-and-keyboard setup as you’re going to get on a non-PC system. This also means that you may often find yourself missing an enemy just because your hand is shaking a bit (yes, the game will make you nervous for your character’s life), which at the moment is frustrating, but is awesome in retrospect. The setup means, though, that the system will probably be held in one hand the entire time, which can get a little tiresome.

 

 Our Rating for Review: Dementium: the Ward
8.3
Single Player
Though the scariness factor leaves soon, the gameplay is quite solid for most of the game, though the whole affair loses steam near the end.
0.1
Multiplayer
N/A
8.5
Controls
You can easily take out zombies and monsters without a second thought, until you accidentally tap the menu button...again.
8.0
Graphics
Very good and atmospheric for a DS game, especially in cutscenes, though the level design gets old.
7.3
Sound
There’s a grand total of maybe two or three music tracks I can remember, but the sounds provide excellent ambience, and they unnerve.
5.2
Replay Value
No bonuses for going back through it a second time, except the enjoyment of a good game.
8.2
Overall
Original, with compelling gameplay and atmosphere, though not as scary as the box claims. Pick this up if you like this genre.
