    I have to write this review since people are really picking it apart for the most obnoxious reason (Looking at you Jim Sterling).

    Dementium Remastered is a great updated re-release on the 3ds of the original dementium. It was made back in 2007 on a much inferior hardware, so it may not be strikingly surprising to anyone used to the horror genre, and yet still as a budget portable title it works wonders.

    Thanks to the circle pad, moving and aiming results in a much more comfortable experience(plays really good on a 2ds). The upgraded resolution and retouched textures bring up a lot of detail and it just feels nice to gaze upon (can´t talk about the 3d effect tho, so no lying).

    The music is pretty much untouched, and using headphones is still greatly recomended.
    If you have already played/own Dementium, there is very little new content here save a few retouches and easter eggs, but if you haven´t it is a very nice game in the vein of the old silent hill series. It won´t knock anyone out with it´s story (It´s not reinventing the wheel) but what it does, it does it in spades.

    It is also around a 1000 blocks download, so it´s also a great option if you don´t have a lot of space left.

    As someone who played the original on release, I really liked it. Thumbs up!    … Expand

    Dementium on Nintendo DS was decent portable horror game. When Renegade announce a Dementium Remastered for the 3DS, I was psyche. After playing the game I realize, it's the same game I played back on DS with minor visual improvements. My biggest complaint our the graphics, even though, it looks better than the DS. The game looks like a old Nintendo 64 game. I was hoping Renegade KidDementium on Nintendo DS was decent portable horror game. When Renegade announce a Dementium Remastered for the 3DS, I was psyche.

The game looks like a old Nintendo 64 game. I was hoping Renegade Kid would give Dementium Remastered a complete makeover , something like Zelda Ocarina of time. The environment and monsters still have the old DS look to them. The sound is OK and the controls are similar to most first person shooters on the 3DS/DS. Overall the game is fun and the only true horror game on the 3DS. I would recommend it, if your looking to play a horror game on the 3DS. But sadly the old visuals ruin the game experience. Just like other other poor HD remakes on PS3/Xbox 360, this new upgraded version of Dementium is disappointing.… Expand

    Being a fan of survival horror, I was a big fan of the original Dementium on the Nintendo DS. But it had a few annoying problem that this 3DS "Remaster" have thankfully worked out. Gone are the annoying and unrelenting enemy respawning, which makes this remake much more appealing. But don't be looking for a complete remake and overhaul of the graphics... the 3D is smooth and frame rateBeing a fan of survival horror, I was a big fan of the original Dementium on the Nintendo DS.

Still, highly recommended for fans of the franchise or for horror games.… Expand

    Dementium Remastered has all the technical qualities to be a good remake...except being an outstanding game. While the visual and audio environments are competent and well implemented, the game loses most of its appeal compared to the original and ends up as a generic title that brings nothing significant to the 3DS library.

    The game doesn’t stand up especially well by itself, and the Remaster has only addressed the superficial issues with the DS original.

    As much as I enjoyed Dementium, it is relatively short (clocking in at around 4-5 hours), only supports a single save file and features no other game modes outside of the difficulty options. Having said that, it was very refreshing to play a solid horror title on the 3DS and I’ll definitely be picking it up for another play through at some point in the future.
