A Fresh Take On The Resident Evil Universe - A Review Of Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps

Resident Evil: Umbrella Corporation's latest offering, Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps is a departure from the traditional survival horror genre that fans of the series have come to expect. Instead of relying on tension and scares, this new installment takes a bold step into uncharted territory - multiplayer action shooting.

Released digitally for PC and PlayStation 4 in June 2015 after its initial May launch window was pushed back due to last-minute issues, Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps promises an intense experience that will test the skills of even seasoned players. But does it deliver on this promise?

At first glance, it's clear that Capcom has taken some inspiration from other successful multiplayer shooters like Call of Duty and Halo. The fast-paced action is relentless as you charge through hordes of infected while trying to take down your human opponents before they can do the same.

However, beneath its familiar exterior lies a game with depth and strategy waiting to be uncovered. Each character in Umbrella Corps has their own unique abilities - some are faster on foot but slower when sprinting, whereas others excel at close-range combat but struggle against ranged threats.

Players must also pay attention not just to their enemies' strengths and weaknesses but also learn how best utilize cover spots around maps since being caught out in open can mean certain death. It's these small details combined with well-designed levels that set Umbrella Corps apart from other multiplayer shooters on the market today.

Overall, while it may not appeal to fans looking for a traditional Resident Evil experience full of jump scares and creepy atmosphere; those who enjoy fast-paced action will find plenty here along side some fun competitive play opportunities when teaming up against friends online.
