Jan 27, 2023The controls are quite bad, and the game runs very slow. Not worth it supporting such a watered down version of the game.

Sep 11, 2022Yes the graphics and performance are really underwhelming, and it’s short, but it’s still a really fun game. I loved both the arcade original and the Saturn port and I had a great time with this. Maybe one that’s more for long time fans of the series. If they were to do HotD 2, I think I’d prefer a straight up scaled port than a remake in this style.

May 22, 2022It's okay, not a bad remake. There's not a ton of replay value and you can feel "done" with the game after a few hours and a couple play-throughs.

May 1, 2022Great visuals for the switch, but bad frame rate overall and the gyro aiming can be tedious
-

Apr 17, 2022No entiendo honestamente las críticas negativas el remake cumple con lo que se promete, gráficos renovados, el apuntado con los joycon y algo de contenido extra y a 25 dólares, la verdad lo vale

Apr 17, 2022Un excelente remake cumple con lo que promete traer de regreso un clásico y eso hace también tiene mucho contenido adicional excelente compra

Apr 15, 2022Although it is a remake of a game that I liked as a child, this game... well, in the graphic section it is very lively for a zombie game, some graphics take time to load and the magician model is somewhat weak in terms of appearance .

Apr 15, 2022Incredibly short, lacking content, shameful copy paste of enemy models.
Not sure how or why they decided to remake it so shoddily with Unity. Might as well have made it with Blender at that point. -
Apr 14, 2022This game is far from being perfect but if you are a hardcore fan of rail shooters and specially of The House of the Dead series you must not miss it.

Apr 13, 2022They should implement ‘snap to centre’ for crosshair, for the thumb stick mode. They did this on beast busters rail shooter on SNK CLASSICS. Works better as it feels like you holding it steady rather than dragging crosshair - hope devs see this and update - switch lite owner :/

Apr 11, 2022Poor graphics, poor sound, poor loading times. Unreadable text, awful controls.
I was a huge fan of the original two games but don't let that fool you into wasting your money on this -

Apr 10, 2022This game brings back so many positive memories! It is the best thing that happened to me lately. Everything in it is just as the original game was back in the time. The Developers polished it, dressed in modern graphics and added some fun add-ons to keep us longer with the game. But really it is the good old House of the Dead! Totally recommend it.

Apr 10, 2022The hardest enemy in the game is the gyro aiming, the drift it terrible and will likely cause RSI. Despite using "Performance Mode" the frame rate is Star Fox levels of jittery. The dialogue is cheesy feeding into the nostalgia but doesn't make up for the shonky mechanics

Aug 8, 2022The House of the Dead: Remake is a contemporary update of the first game in The House of the Dead series and this remake does a decent job with most elements, giving us a good looking world, competent controls and a very welcome and challenging new game mode. At this level, this remake successfully brings the experience to our day and age. Its performance is affected in the most intense moments, though, especially in multiplayer mode and its long loading times may be off-putting for less patient players.

Jun 17, 2022A nostalgic trip down memory lane marred with aiming issues and a very short play time.

May 10, 2022The House of the Dead remake is characterized by a faithful embodiment of the elements of the original. However, it does not reproduce the sophisticated manipulation and immersion, which are characteristics of the gun shooting genre, so it stays in the remake as a rip-off of the original, not a remake beyond the original.
