While Europe still has to wait a bit, Dementium Remastered is out now in North America and stands as a pretty solid survival horror game; filling a gap in the eShop that very few have notably tried to fill. We awarded the game a 7/10 in our review, praising the upgrades this version received, while criticising certain gameplay mechanics that are beginning to show their age. At any rate, it's a solid buy for anybody looking for a game that's looking good and scary.
Jools Watsham – the leading man over at Renegade Kid – recently posted a video of himself doing a Let's Play of the first fifteen minutes of the game. The video acts as a tour of sorts where Watsham points out various things that were changed or updated for the new release and shares other interesting trivia; all as he casually explores the disturbing environments with customary British calm. Check it out:
What do you think? Did you appreciate the enhancements that this remaster brought to the game? For you North Americans, what do you think of the game so far? Drop us a comment in the section below.

I am having a lot of fun playing through this 3D remake, the 3D environment is particularly my favorite part of the game... I played the original on DS but never completed it, I would give this eShop release a definite recommendation!
Not really into the gory or grotesque. But this looks like a decent little game for fans of this genre.
"While Europe still has to wait a bit" HAH!
Lets look in year 2018, maybe by then Jools has gotten Moon Chronicles and Dementium released in Europe.
@Kolzig I was hoping that the new rating system would help expedite things, but perhaps things will remain the same.
Shame I live in the UK so I have no chance of ever playing this
As consolation, they should bundle Moon Chronicles and Dementium for Europe , buy one get one free. Imo.
I feel like this remake gives me MORE incentive to play and finish this game. I, like many on here whose comments I've read, have the original, but never finish it. I don't mind a challenge in a game, but for a game that requires as much exploration as Dementium (or any survival horror) does, the respawning enemies and lack of saves made what would just be a challenge to downright unnecessarily unfair. I'm admittedly not a fan or very good at FPS games in general, but the survival horrror aspect was what drove me to want to play it, unfortunately with what I mentioned, it equally turned me away...I can safely say, that this time around, I've gotten further in a shorter time frame and am enjoying the experience more. So, WII U HD REMASTER!?!! DEMENTIUM 2 REMASTER!?!?
@Moon Moon Chronicles is the worst game I have on my 3DS, it was free and I still regret it

@vonseux Shame it sucks. I've got some pretty bad games on my 3DS too, but I would like to try a FPS on my c-stick... Although it's admittedly a morbid curiosity... I know it will be bad.
Bet you I've got a worse game... :/ lol
@Moon Actually IronFall is a really good game for your FPS fix, it has impressive graphics and solid controls. Imagine a pocket-size Gears. Its free to start and have enough content for free - multiplayer is fun - i didn't purchased the full pack tough
Another game I am looking forward too.
@Moon I'm not sure if it utilizes c-stick control but Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is another FPS I can think of. Also, Raid Mode in Resident Evil: Revelations LOL! The stages in Raid Mode have many more enemies than in the main campaign that it's more of a shooter.
It's pretty good! I'd certainly recommend this one over Moon Chronicles. The gameplay is exactly the same in both games but it feels less repetitive in this one. Also they diddnt try to wedge a story in this one so I feel it works better. The story they put in MC just kinda fell flat for me and the "huge twist" was pretty predictable because of some notes you find before the reveal.
@ollietaro both RE's support the C-Stick on the New 3DS but both games are also not FPS games... "shooters", sure, but not FPS (which is fine for me because I prefer an over the shoulder to FPS)
@ollietaro @vonseux thanks for the suggestions guys, but those games are third-person shooters. And I've already got them.
Resi Evil Mercs unfortunately doesn't support c-stick. It's still fun though.
