“Damsel is an intense, occasionally "frustrating" title, for those who have quick reactions, an eye for planning, and a patience for repetitive death.”

Reviews

“Those who like their games challenging, twitchy, and demanding of player improvement should consider joining Damsel on her wild ride into the night.”
7/10 – Destructoid

“These mechanics working so tightly together instills a flow state which is Damsel’s greatest accomplishment. However, in getting to a flow state, you must learn to manage side objectives on top of the vampire fights.”
8/10 – TechRaptor

“Damsel plays like old-school 2D shooters such as Mega Man or Commander Keen, blending fast-paced movement and twitch reflexes for the kind of second-by-second gameplay that only a 2D shooter can do.”
8/10 – WellPlayed

About This Game



Cause distress in this fast-paced, challenging action platformer! Speed through dozens of missions as Special Agent Damsel, the first and last line of defence against the seedy world of corporate vampires. Rescue hostages, disarm bombs, hack servers and dispatch the undead with precision, speed, and style. Balance frenetic action with split second choices, and pay attention, you never know where the next vamp will come from.



Enter a fully realised comic book world and help Damsel take on Red Mist, the powerful vampire corporation that’s adding a new (and illegal) ingredient to their popular vampire drink. Uncover the secrets of the new recipe and stop the corporation from achieving their ultimate plan, the total dominance of vampires on Earth!



Use Damsel’s powerful ultraviolet shotgun, quick reflexes, devastating melee, and lightning fast dash to string together stylish attacks. Tight and responsive controls let you move around each arena while avoiding the deadly hazards fiendishly placed to stop you in your tracks.
Experiment with each mission to discover that perfect sequence of moves and attacks that maximise your effectiveness. Master Damsel’s speed and precision to carve the perfect path through each arena, with every move counting toward that perfect score and a place at the top of the leaderboards.
Damsel is a ballet, and you’re the choreographer.
