You can tell this game was made by a western studio because they let Damien have nipples. Anyway, this spicy boy was requested by my dearest Malpal. Which is convenient because Damien is DEFINITELY my personal favorite of the romance options.
INTRODUCTION: Damien is the Prince of Hell and one of the monsters you can ask to fucking prom.
PROS:
♥ I feel like, while a devil is definitely Done all the time, it’s so often done by cowards who just stick horns and a forked tail on an otherwise normal person. Of course, Damien has those, and they’re perfectly good on their own, especially because forehead horns are superior to ones on the top or side of the head.
♥
Also, despite being one of the rowdiest boys I’ve ever seen, his broken horn was not from a fight, but from him INTENTIONALLY breaking it off purely in an act of teenage rebellion to tick off his dads??? I feel like this fact is a crystallization of the general feeling of Monster Prom and I love it a lot.
♥ Odd skin color is still a pretty c-list monster feature, but I do love bright red, and it’s significantly more prominent than Vera’s pale green. It’s a classic devil look, but it’s good. As on the color front, the fact that his blood is apparently green??? The implications of unusual blood colors shouldn’t be forgotten about, and it’s a fun little extra detail.
♥
Y’all know I do love me some extremely pointy ears, and Damiens are very good. Also on the face area we have his lovely yellow eyes, which like Vera’s just get so….
♥ On top of that, lOOK AT THE FUCKING TEETH!!!! THose are some GRADE A MURDER CHOMPERS. Damien, you fucking idiot, you beautiful fool, what do you need knives for when you have a bunch of them permanently attached to your fucking skull.
CONS:
♥ The motion blur effect on his arm in the top CG just makes me realize how just some simple elbow/shoulder spurs wouth have instantly enhanced his design. “How would he wear shirts,” obviously he could only wear sleeveless tops, that sounds like a win win to me. He’s always setting things on fire it’s not like he’d be cold.
♥
Like, I felt like the whole arson aspect of his personality was overplayed anyway, this way he’d have a fucking excuse. I love Damien but his character does feel played too close to the “archetype” in an uninteresting way at times. I’d like his softer “wants to be a hairstylist and sends people poetry to people over tinder” played up more.
♥
This boy is fixated on body mods and he wasn’t given a single piercing? What sort of miscarriage of justice is this? He has all that extra free real estate on his ears for piercings, how was this allowed to happen.
RATINGS: MONSTRUOUSNESS: 6/10 Like Vera, a well executed example of a fairly standard monster type, but Damien gets bonus points for Very Good Teeth.
FUCKABILITY: 8.5/10 The game literally tells you it would be so good that it’d be worth breaking some ribs, as long as you fucking clock him beforehand. Given that he’s kind of a shit, that seems like something you’d want to do anyway even if you love him.
PERSONAL RATING: 8/10 Honestly I’m so weak to joths lately, and Damien is no exception.
