All outfits, rankings for Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered

For many players, customizing their character's appearance is an essential part of the gaming experience. You can express yourself better within the game world and make yourself laugh by wearing ridiculous costumes. These cosmetic choices often also affect gameplay, granting stat bonuses that cannot be obtained otherwise.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered recognizes how important these choices are to fans and offers a variety of costumes to deck out protagonist Garcia Hotspur. While the original release did not include character skins, the remaster includes several additional content referencing other Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda51 projects. But some are more interesting than others.

Placa Garcia

No shirt, no problem

When you first start up Shadows of the Damned, you'll be greeted with a cutscene showing off Garcia's impressive body tattoos. You then play a short tutorial section, covering his torso as he dons his signature purple jacket. In the original release, this was all that was visible on the protagonist's body, but in the remaster, the Placa Garcia skin allows him to remain shirtless for as long as he wants.

Anyone who enjoys tattoo artistry will enjoy Garcia's ink, which covers his entire torso. The costume provides a further glimpse into Hotspur's character, including a neck tattoo that reads “I will kill the world before it harms you,” clearly indicating his love for Paula. Going shirtless helps embody the protagonist's exaggerated masculinity, allowing him to look cool while taking down demons in the underworld.

purple reign

Stick to what works

Purple Reign is the standard outfit that Garcia will wear throughout the entire campaign. He wears a rather simple ensemble of a purple leather jacket and black pants. It's not a complicated character design, but it's a design that naturally fits his tough guy persona.

The jacket and clothing names are a reference to artist Prince and his multimedia project Purple Rain, released in 1984. On the movie poster and album cover, Prince can be seen wearing a purple jacket, which was clearly inspired by the purple jacket released by Grasshopper Manufacture in 1984. Create a look for Garcia. It's an interesting reference to music history and shows Suda's respect for all aspects of popular culture.

Kamikaze Garcia

gentleman of hell

This outfit may seem like a strange choice for a man willing to go into the depths of hell. Fancy suits and hats don't seem like something you'd wear when preparing for battle with demons. But the roots of this costume actually go back to the planning stages of Shadows of the Damned.

The Kamikaze Garcia skin is a reference to Kurayami Dance, a manga creator Suda51 who wrote from 2015 to 2016. The story was based on his original idea for the game that would become Shadows of the Damned, but EA ultimately forced Suda to create something more suitable. For the coveted Western audience. The suit and hat are the clothes of the manga's main character, Kamikaze Wataru.

Kamikaze Garcia is the only unlockable costume in the game and is granted after completing the campaign for the first time.

Ocho Corazones

For No More Heroes enthusiasts

The Ocho Corazones costume is definitely the most unique costume in Hella Remastered, sporting a cape and elaborate headpiece. Garcia's chest is covered in armor depicting the various hearts mentioned in the name, while his face is covered in a skull mask, reminiscent of the design language of Johnson's weapons.

This reference to Johnson is actually intentional. Because long-time Suda fans will remember this costume from Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. In the game, Travis is transported to the world of Damned: Dark Knight, a fictional sequel to Shadows of the Damned. There, Garcia dies and fuses with Johnson, becoming a hero with the Eight Hearts. It's great to see this profound level of nerdy storytelling expressed in Hella Remastered, and Suda fans will certainly appreciate just how over-the-top the design is.

Demonio Garcia

become one with the enemy

The Demonio Garcia skin shows our protagonist being overpowered by his enemies. We get a glimpse into an alternate reality where Hotspur joins a horde of demons instead of fighting them. Horns sprout from its head, eyes protrude from its chest, and its hands and feet transform into a beast-like appearance with claws and scales.

This is arguably the best costume in the game, not only because of its inspired design, but also because it is the only costume that offers gameplay bonuses. Equipping Demonio Garcia doubles your attack power, allowing you to blast through the forces of Hell if you wish. It's the perfect choice if you're a fan who wants to relax and work through the campaign, or simply like the look of it.
