You and your team start slow, crouching around and checking every corner. The multi-mission mode highlights Umbrella Corps’ many flaws. It’s a lot more tactical than the multi-mission mode, and you’ll have a better chance to play with some of game’s systems like cover shooting and, well, just cover shooting. One life mode is by far the better option. There are only seven maps and two modes: “one life” in which you get one life per round, and “multi-mission,” which sets different objectives per round. It’s a team based, tactical shooter (as tactical as an online console game can be, anyway) which pits you and two teammates versus three others in arenas full of zombies. Even held to its own standards, it’s little more than a generic shooter, using the iconic franchise as a crutch more than anything.

Capcom seemingly lacked the confidence to call it a Resident Evil game, but also wanted the cold hard cheddar that would come from those two words.Ĭompared to previous Resident Evil games, Umbrella Corps follows in Resident Evil 6’s over-the-top action footsteps for better or worse that so many fans despised. Umbrella Corps is merely “based on” Resident Evil, you see? It takes several ques from Resident Evil such as locations, weapons, and a few character skins, not to mention the T-virus zombie monsters and such. Still, Capcom’s latest game based on the popular series goes out of its way to assure you it is not a Resident Evil game at all. Remember when Resident Evil was a horror franchise? Me neither.
