Umbrella Corps, a Resident Evil spin-off, was one such rare occasion for me. In this line of work it's pretty rare to shuffle into a company's office for a hands-on and know little about what you're going to see. "To say Umbrella Corps is a weird little game feels a bit of an understatement, and it's fairly obvious why that's the game's name: the Resident Evil brand isn't in the title, merely in the content."

Then the online mode, if you can get a game going, is completely unbalanced and just the same thing as the offline mode, just with actual people to share in the boredom.It's not really Resident Evil, but is it any good? The offline mode is the same shit over and over with no real variation at all. The guns feel like they are pop guns instead of real guns with proper impact. The AI is dumb as hell till it decides to be cheap and kill you suddenly for no reason (hitbox detection is worse than Hanzo’s arrows from Overwatch).
The gameplay in this game sucks! You float, not run. I’m sorry, I usually try and find the best that I can out of a game and allow it to succeed or fail on its own merits, but every other review you’ve seen by now are correct. I’m guessing that this is where you’re meant to spend most of your time with this game as you can go and customize everything from your weapon to your armor with stickers and even replace your generic helmet with the faces of classic Resident Evil characters (If you shell out for the Deluxe Edition).

The other thing you can do is go online and try the team vs team free for all mode… But the service either won’t connect half the time or there aren’t enough people online at once to get a good run of games going. There are no boss monsters like Nemesis or Tyrant in this at all which sucks big time as this collecting mode is boring as hell. Sure, you go through some classic Resident Evil areas like the Labs, the outside of the RCPD building, the village from Resident Evil 5, and other locations as you avoid the undead and try to kill them for their DNA samples. The Experiment is somewhere around 24 different missions where you are collecting samples of infected DNA over and over again. There are two modes for Umbrella Corps: Online and The Experiment, a single player offline mode. The big innovation for the game, at least in the online team vs team mode, is the “zombie jammer”, a device that allows you to navigate around the zombies during the fights without being a walking dinner buffet… Till it gets shot up enough to break then it’s dinner time! You also have a melee axe weapon that charges up for a nice looking fire attack, and the usual RE staples of grenades, knives, etc for you to use. You glide, not run, around a map shooting at either people or zombies till you win or lose a round. Umbrella Corps is a very generic third person shooter. You are a member of a mercenary group sent into Raccoon City and other Resident Evil style locations (Like the village from Resident Evil 4) to collect anything you can get your hands on while avoiding becoming the next zombie to call Raccoon City home.
Somehow Raccoon City survived a nuclear bomb from the ending of Resident Evil 3 and there is a lot of biohazard material still in the city for some lucky biological weapons maker to get their hands on. The year is 2015, 2 years after the events of Resident Evil 6 and 12 years after the collapse of the Umbrella Corporation in 2003. To be honest, there isn’t really much to the “story” of Umbrella Corps.

Platform: Playstation 4 & PC (Digital Only)ĭisclosure: Review copy provided by Publisher The Story What we got is a cheap feeling, underbaked cash-in title that could have used a few more years in development. Umbrella Corps was meant to be some sort of love letter to the survival horror franchise, while also capturing some points in the very lucrative co-op tactical shooter market. Resident Evil is celebrating 20 years of zombie slaying and bad voice work.
