    The setting is interesting. There are a few good character moments (and a good handful of absolutely terrible ones).

    That being said, the flags that cause you to either progress or fail the story are extremely arbitrary at times, there are horribly unbalanced sections, the music in the old original freeware release of Corpse Party is still vastly superior to what's in this version, and the cherry to truly cap off the **** sundae is that even in the face of all the BAD ENDs you'll see along the way, the GOOD ending is hardly any better, and gives you little reason to care about unlocking all those bonus chapters.

    If none of that is enough to disuade you, you'll probably enjoy it. I ultimately felt like it was kind of a letdown, even if it's arguably the best release of the game to date.    … Expand

    Morbid details and shocking sights aren't everyone's cup of tea but for the players who are into horror, Corpse Party will be a blessing in the 3DS catalogue. Even if its gameplay will lose its effect after a while and become a bit repetitive, the game's dialogues, plot and audiovisual environments will keep the players focused for long periods of time, especially with the purpose of reaching that one good ending (which will require some effort).

    Even though this is the best version of Corpse Party available on the market right now, we can't stop thinking that the port is somewhat lazy, since neither the 3D effect nor the touch screen are utilized as much as 3DS fans were hoping. But if you love Japanese horror games, you won't find better options than Corpse Party on 3DS.

    End of the day, it’s just a rehash of the second iteration of the original Japanese launch, but more feature complete and features better illustrations than the Steam version. Give this a whirl if you’re interested in trying a solid J-horror game. Otherwise maybe just watch the Anime OVA, live action movie or read the manga that’s currently being published by Yen Press.
