    The game says that online play is optional. It may have well said that it is required as what is available offline is very limited and completely awful. Tutorial to start with teaches you mechanics of the game which seem pretty cool. However for the most part they are useless. One of the most useless mechanics is the ability to take cover behind walls. You are fighting zombies, ZOMBIES! They don't shoot you at all. What exactly are you taking cover from? Another is the melee weapon known as the Brainer. Game says it's a powerful weapon, however meleeing a zombie with just the butt of your gun kills them in one hit anyway. No point in using a slow melee weapon that does the same thing. You are also able to crouch and lie down to be more sneaky. There is no stealth, zombies notice you as long as you are near. There is also something known as a Jammer that prevents the zombies from noticing you. However it is only introduced in the tutorial, other than that it is never used.

    The offline mode known as "The Experiment" is a series of very repetitive and boring missions. Kill zombies again and again and again. Normally I love killing zombies and blowing them to pieces, but the play style and clunky controls ruin it. Also it shows what loadout you will be using in the mission. No idea why it shows you this as you can never customize it. As you play through The Experiment, you will unlock things that can only be used online. Other than that there is no progression or any sense of accomplishment.

    In short, if you can't play online do not bother buying this game. There are no bots and the online play being optional is pretty much false advertising. I saw the game I wanted to play and it basically said you can do so without internet. It is garbage.    … Expand

    Capcom has made plenty of great "Resident Evil" games. Unfortunately, "Umbrella Corps" isn't one of them. This competitive shooter is enjoyable at first, but quickly becomes a repetitive, poor excuse for an e-sports title. Matches are brief, combat is lame, maps are small and modes are limited to a few types. Single player is an extended series of boring challenges.

At $30, it's twice as much as it should be. There's nothing included that justifies that price. Capcom simply slapped a brand name on a low-quality product to make a quick buck. Even "Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City" is more entertaining. I would give this a 4 out of 10.… Expand

    Should this even count as a spin off to resident evil? When i played this game i felt like i was playing a alpha version of resident evil 6. Dont get this game unless you love to torture yourself.

The maps pretty much all come from old RE games and were not designed for competitive multiplayer. The characters move absurdly fast for the very small size of the maps. The weapon balance is terrible. Pretty much everyone would be exclusively using a shotgun and the brainer as they are both one hit kills. Zombies are there but 90% will not attack you due to jammers. This means monsters largely do nothing but get in your way. There are single player missions, but they are not fun at all. They seem to be mostly to practice controls.
    Oh and if you want to play as any recognizable RE character, that will be an extra $15.

    A Capcom serviva tutto fuorché uno sparatutto online meno che mediocre, per giunta basato su un franchise storico che negli ultimi tempi è stato letteralmente preso di mira da stampa e fan.

Su ps4 il framerate è scadente e, a causa di alcune scelte a dir poco bizzarre, è quasi impossibile prendere la mira. Perchè fare un TPS se poi l' inquadratura è perennemente posizionata sulla spalla del giocatore? Il risultato è un ibrido FPS/TPS con una visuale a dir poco ristretta, specie considerando che nella "campagna in singolo" i nemici hanno la tendenza ad attaccare le spalle del giocatore. In assenza di uno specchietto retrovisore (un pulsante per guardarsi le spalle c'è ma lasciamo stare..) è impossibile prevedere certi attacchi: tra l' altro l' energia è ridottissima ed è facile soccombere senza sapere il perché anche dopo pochi secondi.
    Visivamente il gioco si difende a malapena, i modelli poligonali sono belli e dettagliati ma soggetti a compenetrazioni di ogni tipo, e tutto ha un aspetto scialbo e poco rifinito. Le geometrie di alcune location poi non sono state aggiornate e tutto ha l' aspetto spigoloso di una paio di generazioni fa.
    Il gioco online può risultare anche divertente, ma là fuori è pieno di shooter competitivi migliori di questo, per giunta anche meno costosi.
    Non uno sfacelo totale ma quasi: per quanto mi riguarda sono stati 30 euro buttati al vento.    … Expand

    Umbrella Corps is a multiplayer-based tactical shooter developed and published by Capcom. It is a spin-off of the Resident Evil series.

    - Clunky Shooting
    - Ugly Movement Animations

    First off, the premise of having a shooter with a Resident Evil twist isn't totally a bad idea. Especially because it would please the Resident Evil fans that tend to like shooters and keep them away from the main titles and more focused on this title. (At least that's how this seems.)

    Hell, just adding in the nostalgia of the classic maps, ubcs gear and flair makes it look badass!!

    Hell, just adding in the nostalgia of the classic maps, ubcs gear and flair makes it look badass!! BUUTTT, don't let that fool you!

    This title is so poorly made, it should have been a PSP title, with just the PVP portion added. Everything about the gameplay SCREAMS beta and is shows no signs of fine tuning or refining! Just look at the multiplayer, where you can CRAWL faster than RUNNING! Not only that, you use all of you equipment doing so!!

    Looking at RE5 and 6's mercenaries modes; UMB Corps is BEYOND TERRIBLE!! The single player is NOT challenging and BORING.

    (LONGTIME GAMER HERE and I've played some seriously underappreciated games with garbage graphics and STILL loved quite a few of them!)

    The only reason I gave this a 2 is because the concept is a different take on the RE world, but one not to take serious as the survival horror games. That, and there were some signs of potential in the multiplayer, despite it being a choppy mess of an experience.

    For shooter fans, this game is a joke. For fans of zombies, its a waste of time. For fans of the Resident Evil series, its like the developers took a big steaming sh*t on their lawn and set it on fire!    … Expand

    As another RE fanboy, how can I say about this? Capcom with no doubt disappoint their loyal fans again. Simple and frantic gameplay, terrible network performance as well as the graphic. Perhaps the only good news is that it's price, that is something could make little refund of our lacerated hearts

    Often don't always look for the enemy, and hard to find on a map as third parson shooter rather too monotonously system very interesting game of subtle and not so tired coming early PVP six at the same time against enemies, but their time is wasted, or draw against at least 10 people (five vs. five), is not worth buying rubbish than good works might be if you enjoyed the more versatile fighter

    Undoubtedly the worst game of the saga so far less bad than then came the Resident EVIL 7 to fix the error that had this game, this game feels without content to be a game based on the online mode, many bugs, a Bad camera, zombies appear very often and a camera very uncomfortable for the player.

    This game was a big mistake 3/10

Fortunately i buyed this game at 5 euro, and I give it a 3 because I have some fun playing multiplayer into old resident evil map... And because i loves hearing DC Douglas voice as wesker again

    Umbrella Corps is another failed attempt from Capcom to capitalize on the current trend of team-based shooters. Aside from the locations and Umbrella logo, this game couldn't be further from the ideals established by Resident Evil in the last two decades. Maybe someday Capcom can find a formula that works, but Umbrella Corps is a cheap, uninspired, and unbalanced take on the genre that’s far too simple and messy to be worth the time. This game is a virus that should be avoided at all costs.
