Damnation

Damnation wurde von ikonischen Elementen der amerikanischen Geschichte inspiriert und entführt in eine spektakuläre, post-industrielle Steampunk-Welt, in der ein bewaffneter Konflikt zwischen einer Schar abtrünniger Rebellen und der schier unbesiegbaren Armee eines hochgerüsteten Waffenschiebers tobt. Der Held muss sich dabei seinen Weg durch die Wirren des Krieges bahnen. Bis zu drei Stunden Gameplay liegen oft vor dem Spieler, um einen schemenhaft am Horizont erblickten Bestimmungsort zu erreichen.

Um an sein Ziel zu gelangen, sollte der Spieler sein gesamtes Repertoire ausspielen - seien es artistischen Kletterkünste, nachdrücklicher Waffeneinsatz oder am Steuer spektakulärer Fahrzeuge: Mit rasanten Motorrädern können lange Wegstrecken abgekürzt oder Klippen übersprungen werden, dafür walzen schwerfällige Panzer Hindernisse einfach nieder.

Neben dem Einspieler-Modus bietet Damnation ebenso umfangreiche wie innovative Mehrspieler-Optionen, die die gigantischen Welten des Spiels voll ausreizen.

Das Spiel hat mich wegen des Stil gepackt. Auch wenn nicht alles perfekt ist und die KI etwas zweifelhafte reaktionen haben, kann sich das Spiel sehen lassen. Und für Steampunk Fans ist das Spiel ein muss und erfüllt viele Aspekte dieser Fantasy Welt.

Hab das Spiel in 11 Stunden durchgespielt und muss sagen das dieses Spiel einfach nicht gut ist aber das erkläre ich jetzt.

+In dem Spiel gibts es hin und wieder die Möglichkeit ein Fahrzeug zu benutzen was das einzige gute an dem Spiel war und sogar Spaß gemacht hat
-Die Story war mega langweilig und man hat sie nach 5 Minuten vergessen
-Die Waffen fühlen sich außer paar Ausnahmen extrems scheiße an und die Waffen die sich gut anfühlen haben nur begrenzt Munition
-Die Bosse sind alle extrems nervig und unkreativ. (Vorallem der Endboss)
-Die Grafik war schon 2009 veraltet und macht einen oft wütend
-Das Spiel besteht 40 % aus Platform ... Levels welche extrems nerven und nur dafür da sind um die Spielzeit zu strecken.

Ich empfehle das Spiel nicht und habe das nur durchgespielt weil ich mir vorgenommen hab alle Spiele von mir durchzuspielen was ich nach diesem Spiel abgebrochen hab. LG

Damnation ist ein gutes Game und macht durchaus Spass!
Ich mag es und wenn man sich mal an die Steuerung gewöhnt hat dann ist es noch besser!
Cooles Game!

Empfehlenswert: (persönliche Wertung: 6/10)

Errungenschaften: Nein

Positiv:
- gute Mischung zwischen Shooter-, Fahr- und Kletterpassagen
- Sound in Ordnung
- Grafik für damals ok
- Bikes wurden gut eingebaut
- gutes Leveldesign

Negativ:
- platte Steampunkstory, mit Magie
- Steuerung setzt manchmal aus
- Waffenauswahl nicht breit genug (auch wenn es nicht nötig ist)

Fazit:
Bei Damnation habe ich eigentlich mit einem Trashtitel gerechnet, den ich wieder sofort von meiner Festplatte verbanne, aber dem war nicht so. Es ist ein solider Third-Person-Shooter in einer Steampunkwelt. Hervorzuheben sind hierbei auch die Kletterpassagen, welche durchaus auch knifflig sein können und die Passagen in denen man mit dem Bike fahren kann. Dabei wechseln sich die Passagen zwischen Schießen, Fahren und Klettern in gesunder Weise ab. Leider setzte ab und zu auch mal die Steuerung aus und man landete ganz tief unten (oder war tot).
Die Grafik ist für das Jahr wo das Spiel herauskam relativ Okay, könnte aber auch besser sein. Den Sound fand ich gut, besonders wenn es ordentlich Action gab. Loben möchte ich auch das Leveldesign, welches gut in diese Welt integriert wurde.
Eine große Schwäche dieses Spiels ist jedoch die platte Story. Ja ich weiß das Steampunk gerne mit Magie gepaart wird, aber die Sache mit dem Seher hat überhaupt nicht reingepasst. Da hätte man mehr drauß machen können... Ein weiterer Punkt der mir nicht gefallen hat, war die Waffenauswahl. Man kann nur 3 Waffen mitnehmen. Wenn man eine andere Waffe mitnehmen will muss man sich entscheiden welche man dafür ablegen will. An und für sich ist das in Ordnung, aber ich habe das Spiel durchgespielt ohne diese überhaupt zu tauschen (Nur Scharfschützengewehr, Sturmgewehr und Pistole vom Anfang). Wenn ich getauscht habe, merkte ich sofort das ich mit den Waffen ein schlechteres Ergebnis erziele und tauschte wieder zurück... Trotzdem überraschte mich der Titel etwas und ließ mich das Spiel innerhalb von 8-9 Stunden durchspielen. Empfehlenswert!!!!

The most average an average game can get. Third person action shooter with Prince of Persia climbing puzzles. The combat aims to be like it is in Gears of War games but falls short with how boring it is, feedback is terrible and accuracy is non existent on some weapons.

Now the game can be cut into 3 parts, combat, climbing and driving, they all intertwine so it comes out as not so repetitive. Combat was my least favorite part due to how badly weapons handle, but after trying out all the weapons I found those I preferred over those I avoided at all costs. The thing that kept me going to the end was the somewhat interesting story, the game is set in a steampunk wild west type of world, and you're trying to stop an evil brainiac that has a robot army behind his back.

It's gonna be an okay-ish experience if you can grab this one on sale, for the full price you're probably better off skipping it.

Damnation, is it doomed to die? IS IT worth a buy?!
Welp, this is a prime example why games shouldn't be sold for PC if they are made SPECIFICALLY for the consoles. Like legit this game just proven to be console all along.
From the AWFUL combat, TERRIBLE controls and shooting. Like I have to hold down my right click just to AIM(no, not better aim, but actually to shoot you need to click that) Then I need to press another button to zoom in, WHICH isn't even near zoom in lmao. And then you can shoot. You know what's bad about that? If you accidentally release your right mouse button, guess what? You're Fing screwed! yep that's right gotta do it all over again.
The voice acting is SO Fing bad I got a good laugh from it. Like you just need to watch one of the heroes cut scenes it's hilarious.
And then it hit me, those controls, this bad story but good parkour thing.... Ain't that a Fing PORT of a CONSOLE game. Yes it is.
For me I believe consoles work amazing when it comes to platforming, simplistic combat. When it comes to shooting, Keyboard and mouse are just 100% better. So when you F up the controls for Keyboard and mouse 'cause you made a console game... Well that's just terrible isn't it?
Oh and the bugs, the bugs... P.S. wait until your friends get down LMFAO, this might be the most hilarious sound.
2/10 A bloody mess.

I previously had this game on Disk, but it seem to have a lot of problems. The Steam version I have now played for about 100 minutes, and I have not encountered any bugs...very happy about that. I do a lot of exploration, so I am not progressed as far as many others who like the combat. The story line is pretty decent, and the graphics and game play both seem nice to me. I did notice all of the bad reviews and comments this game had received, but I decided to purchase it anyway. I am glad that I did. The game lay out is very large, especially if you like to explore, and find items, etc. I would recommend this game to all, but it probably will not fly with the hardcore FPS people who like to run and gun, or like to do nothing but shoot targets. Otherwise, the rest of us would probably find some nice content within this game.

In short, the game seems unfinished at times, at the least, very unpolished. But the climbing and shooting people is all sorts of fun. It's even got motorcycle parts and scantily clad women to boot!

Do you remember when stores would sell bad, unknown movies for next to nothing in a giant discount bin? If you go further back, do you remember one of the many weird VHS tapes you would see when walking through the shelves of Blockbuster in the 90s? Damnation is a bit of throwback akin to one of those experiences.

You play as a gruff cowboy and/or bounty hunter cosplayer and are accompanied by his comrades-at-arms including a native american woman who is a healer that dresses as a stripper, a rival Spanish cowboy/bounty hunter cosplayer and a generic British scientist. You're there to takeout the evil Lord Prescott and his PSI forces before he takes over the world....basically. The entire cast could have easily starred in a direct-to-DVD ripoff of 1999's Wild Wild West except somehow more terrible or perhaps campier in a low budget, non-English speaking way. It does remind me of the sort of awkward dialogue that you run into with CentralEastern European game with English put in. (I'm looking at you, Risen.)

2009 was a time when bad games were a bit more commonplace and when game developers were still figuring out how to take advantage of the PS3360 hardware, and oh boy does Damnation reflect this. The character models are...decent for the time but everything else is really ugly. Like the entire game was targeted for the PlayStation 2 and they just decided to release it on the next generation with little more than a resolution bump. The game world looks like a cross between Red Faction 2 & Gun, with a low geometry count and the same building types throughout.

Gameplay is basically a cross between Uncharted without a cover system and the most bare-bones imitation of Prince of Persia platforming. Even on the lowest difficulty, the enemies in this game deal out ridiculous amounts of damage, have crazy accuracy, and are fairly aggressive. However, the enemy & weapon variety are very low. There are about 4 different enemies, with the generic guys using the same weapons that you do. Sniper Rifles, Shotguns, Grenade Launchers, basic stuff. In between the combat, is the A M A Z I N G platforming with no direction as to where you should go. Usually this is ok but often times you can only hope that your NPC companions start to navigate before you do in order to see where to go, otherwise it's a reload to the last checkpoint or find a guide online. You also have driving sequences that are equally as terrible, with your vehicles handling like someone watched the driving segments in the 1st Gears of War but they've only played Big Rigs.

Damnation was not a good game when it came out and is also a bad game now. The only difference being is that it's over 10 years old at the time of this review. This game isn't total garbage, there is a campy experience to check out but you have to really be into that sort of experience to tolerate everything terrible around it. For the .50 cents I payed for this, I guess you could technically do worse. However, I would not suggest to play Damnation unless you are the type of person that likes to watch bad movies or to remember why games like this don't come out anymore.

This game is 11&1/2 years old, yet it holds up well, It has a classic Tomb Raider feel but with more forgiving mechanics and puzzle solving but a few stumped me for a bit.
Its old but graphics are nice and there are some beautiful views (some environments are bland, some are done well) from up high and you can look thousands of feet below and see where you have been.
Combat is still fun,AI can be stupid but who cares, you can snipe, use pistols and other weapons.
Its cheap vintage gaming, so far its worthwhile. Could have done without the Motor bike sections , but there are only a few and were not necessary.
If you liked classic Tomb Raider, simple gunfights , light puzzle solving you may like this one.

Damnation is a third person steampunk adventure/platformer/shooter. The game consists of shooting bad guys, platforming, solving rare puzzles and some driving.

pros
+ variable gameplay
+ nice scenery
+ weapon variety isn't very high, but some weapons are nice to handle
+ while the game is linear, there are often alternative paths to reach your goal
+ a lot of platforming. but it is never frustratingly hard
+ graphics
+ some gore

cons
- overall average gunplay: enemies hardly stagger when getting hit and some weapons are way too inaccurate for my liking
- story and especially the characters need some polish
- way too much bloom that makes it harder to see visual cues where to go next since almost everything seems to be highlighted

[h1]Verdict[/h1]
Damnation is a decent adventure with some flaws. My biggest gripe is that some weapons feel a bit weak. But I liked the occasional driving, the alternative paths and especially the verticality of a lot of maps. Recommended to adventure players.

Crazy steampunk story with a Spanish civil war atmosphere, indian healers, cannibals, mechs and ubersoldiers.
Be prepared for lots of action, hellish bike rides and precision jumping. If you don't mind an old game with ancient graphics don't hesitate buying it, especially as you can find it cheap now. I got it at Fanatical for €1 and enjoyed every minute of the 19 hrs it took me to complete.
Note: I played solo, so I don't know if co-op works or is any good.

[h1]Damnation is a game that has its charm. But that charm stays in its premise and does not deliver.[/h1]

Graphics

Damnation falls really short in everything and the first you immediately see as an example are the graphics.
Even for its time graphics are really bad - everything is kinda blurry and steamy. Steamy not as steampunk steamy because these bad graphics have nothing to do with the game's style.

It doesn't matter how big were Codemasters then. Not even their supposedly small budget, as much. There are many other small studios with games even a decade older than this one but with graphics that are way better and moreover - bearable. I don't have a problem with retro/classic games' visuals but quite the opposite. However, these ones here are pretty bad. And the poor visuals are even more noticeable in the cutscenes.

Gameplay:

The world is big and has a premise of it being appropriately used by the steampunk western style and the story of the game. Sadly, the world is pretty empty and unutilized. There's nothing really to do. There are only two moments in the game that have puzzles and those moments are towards the middle/end of the game.

The occasional times when you ride the steam powered motorbikes is pretty linear and uninteresting, even the cool concept of riding steam powered bikes and the ability to ride the walls can not save this. You ride from one checkpoint to another, passing by an empty terrain with the very occasional enemies appearing at some places shooting you from a distance, as if they were put there to fill up the empty game world.

Combat is pretty clunky. When shooting you have to stand in a pretty clear area because if you stand behind a balcony rail or you are somewhat behind a wall (even if your aim is on the opposite side of that wall or above the balcony rail) it seems like the weapons' ammunition can not hit the enemies because of that. As if both walls and balcony rails have some invisible extensions that stop the bullets.

Weapons are nothing special and the only I kind of enjoyed is the sniper rifle, as the other ones are hit or miss (literally and figuratively), as already explained above.

Your character has a special ''spirit vision'' ability to sense enemies, similar to the eagle vision in Assassin's Creed. But it's not really useful. There isn't anything in the gameplay to combine it with so that it makes sense of it being useful. You can't shoot from cover or kind of surprise kill enemies or even avoid them, to make sense of that ''spirit vision''.

Storywise this is not supposed to be a story rich game so, again, that's fine. It's pretty straight forward, following a group of people trying to catch the bad guy while he is trying to execute his evil plan.

Both enemy AI and allied ones are pretty badly designed.

You start the game with at least one companion, so the game kind of gives you a chance to not feel completely lonely when playing a single player game. But things go pretty south right there. Allies themselves are useless. Enemies can down them pretty easily and that's because they basically stand in the open area, till enemy AI empty their weapons. That's probably because of the same thing I mentioned above - if you are near a wall or a balcony rail you managing to shoot an invisible wall is more accurate than any of the weapons in this game. And probably the allied AI knows that.

Also, the ally AI seems to have some weird body twitch while being shot at. As if they are moving to the rhythm of bullets hitting their bodies. Only thing that's missing is them doing the ''rock on'' hand sign at the same time. Then everything in that weird movement would make more sense.

Enemy AI is pretty bad too. Some times they just sit in one place and let you shoot them to death. Nothing interesting or decent here.

Damnation introduces some nice platforming, combined with cool parkour style of traversing. However, some things like jumping to climb off from one wall to another quite often requires you to repeat the action till it actually works. Positioning to climb a ladder is pretty broken too.

[h1]Conclusion[/h1]
Overall, do not be fooled by the premise of this game. This could have been, if not amazing, maybe a decent steampunk, third person, adventure game, set in an alternate western style America, with cool steampunk motorcycles and weaponry. However, it ended up, what it seems to me, being an ''exotic'' experiment for Codemasters. And I'm not being sarcastic, just my honest opinion.

And it's all there. It's just empty and really poorly done - really bad graphics and bad and clunky gameplay. This is not the worst of the worst but it's a pretty bad game. It's not even a case where I can overlook a flow in some parts of it if the game excels elsewhere, because it doesn't.

There are too many amazing games - old and new, for someone to waste their time and money on this one. I can't recommend it even to those who have extra money to throw away, not even if it's on sale for €1. And for those of you on a budget - don't even bother spending whatever money you've saved on Damnation.

And I wish I could recommend one that comes as near Damnation's main style, (steampunk, third person adventure with a similar setting) but I can't really think of one that comes somewhat close. However, you can't go wrong with any of the Tomb Raider or Bioshock games, as long as their premise is what you are looking for.

Other than than - You've been warned.
