The game is the result of a collaboration between Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami, and the combined styles of the two designers, namely the "punk rock"[lower-alpha 2] edge of the former and the "psychological action thriller" of the latter.[2] Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, but sold extremely poorly.
A remastered version of the game, titled Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, was announced by Grasshopper Manufacture on June 8, 2023.[3] It is scheduled to release in 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.[4]
