Professional reviews from gaming critics

Damsel is a fun arcade-style platformer/shooter/speedrunner/whatever genre you want to call it.  The comic-style motif is a nice concept that I haven't seen for a long time and the gameplay is pretty fluid.  The darkness of the stages and the similarities between the three game modes kind of bring the game down a little, but it's still an enjoyable outing for the Nintendo Switch.

Overall, Damsel is a cute little game that anyone can get into. There is no blood and guts as the vampires disappear into a cloud of smoke when defeated. The story is amusing and easy to get into, and the levels are not overly complicated. There are a campaign and arcade mode to play through as well. At the low price of 16.99 on Steam, Xbox, and Switch, you will get your full enjoyment out of this title for a low cost.

Damsel is an engaging, challenging platformer that has a little something for everyone. It may get too hard too early for some people, but mastering the mechanics is incredibly rewarding.

Damsel is 'Too Fast, Sometimes Furious.'

Damsel is far from being a bad game. It looks nice, controls well, and has a decent soundtrack. But its moment-to-moment action grows tiresome when played for a considerable length of time. It’s a game best enjoyed here and there – a handful of levels at a time – otherwise it just gets overly repetitive and your interest starts to wane. It’s also a game that’s primarily going to be enjoyed by score chasers and speedrunners, eager to take their place at the top of the leaderboards. If that sounds like you, by all means invest in Damsel – you’ll have a good time. If not, however, you’ll get much...

Become a damsel in distress! Damsel is an attempt to bring vampires into the 2D-fast-action platformer realm, and a dull one at that. I'm absolutely entranced
