    Umbrella Corps’ metascore suggests that it’s one of the worst games of this generation, but if you look past its low budget and bugs, you’ll see a fresh, unconventional shooter brimming with brilliant small innovations. [09/2016, p.52]

    Every level is very small, and no matter where you decide to hole up, it will be easy for enemies to flank you. It’s not bad by itself, but such design makes cover system – which was to become one of Umbrella Corps’ trump cards – redundant. So it comes as no surprise that combat quickly devolves into chasing after one another with one-hit-kill ax in hand. Of course, it’s hard to talk about tactics or teamplay in this lumberjack’s paradise. [Issue#211, p.56]

    That being said though, this is not a fantastic game by any account and while there’s a little fun to be had in a frantic online match, there are much better ways to get your competitive shooter fix.

    Umbrella Corps is a big game from a major publisher in a popular franchise in that franchise’s anniversary year, and it’s both awful and dead on arrival. Now I see why Capcom didn’t tell anyone that it came out.

    Umbrella Corps is a multiplayer action with zero value. The game is flawed with all sorts of issues, including dysfunctional matchmaking, small number of players, poor visuals and tragic AI of zombies. Hands off.

    Umbrella Corps is the most expensive free-to-play that you will find in the market. Not only is its gameplay terrible, but its online mode does not feature anybody to play with, so the game is almost dead by now. Capcom made us cry.

    Umbrella Corps has a few interesting ideas up its sleeve, but that’s all it has. Whenever it attempts to put those ideas into practice, they’re shoddily executed and laughably inept for a tactical shooter that rewards almost no tactics whatsoever.

Fun little tactical shooter, quick matches. Mouse Aiming right now is iffy but it works fine on a controller. You can get used to the Mouse controls by just turning up your mouse sensitivity. Might not be perfect but it helps if you don't happen to have a controller.

    Only 2 competative game modes right now, 1 life per round team elimination and an objective mode where the objective changes every round. There are zombies/plagas infected B.O.W.s on all the maps and they can kill you very quickly, especially the dogs. It adds something else to worry about other than the enemy team some times.

    It's fun, looks nice enough for me and its getting free DLC. Unlike many of the negative reviews, I have had no crashing or problems of that sort at all. You may also want to take into account how much of a Capcom/RE "fan" the reviewer is, since the more they proclaim to love RE the more they problably hate this game or Capcom in general.

    If you are looking for a quick to pick up 3 v 3 tactical shooter with Resident Evil flair this is the game 4 u gamerz.

    This is by no means a perfect game. However, with that said, I did and will continue to enjoy playing this game. From my first hour I can tellThis is by no means a perfect game. However, with that said, I did and will continue to enjoy playing this game. From my first hour I can tell that this game does feel more like a free to play game than a retail game. Amazingly enough though, The game feels balanced with how you can properly strategize to win a round.

    I'd recomend it if you want to play an arcade style shooter with zombies for extra challenge. However, try to get it on a sale if you can. The cost seems a bit high for the content. (They might add more content down the road)

This, it's prequel and Mighty number 9 (by the same developer) they have done nothing before or since and all gave all 3 games 10 out of 10. Clearly the developers abusing the system. If I could give a minus score to balance that cheating - I would. 0/10 - and that's being generous Expand
