New horror FPS coming to the DS

Finally, another FPS is coming to the DS. The little handheld that could is set to come out with Dementium: The Ward. According to the press release, Dementium combines FPS action, adventure, and survival horror.

They had me at FPS action. W00t! No really, no sarcasm there. Surprised?

A lot of things are going for the new game. For one, Dementium isn’t going to be on rails. The last time I played anything of the sort, I’ve had nightmares for a month. Ever heard of Touch the Dead? If you haven’t, good for you. Keep it that way.

I just hope that Dementium won’t bomb like GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, the only other FPS for the DS aside from Metroid.

Dementium is being developed by Renegade Kid and will be published by Gamecock. Both companies are newcomers to the industry.

The story behind Dementium starts with a guy who wakes up in a strange hospital full of monstrous surgical experiments that walk the dark halls. Of course, a survival horror game won’t be complete without odd puzzles, disturbing characters, and liters of blood covering the walls and floor.

Watch out for updates on Dementium: The Ward as they come. Enjoy the screenshots.
