Overview Resident Evil:
In the absence of a Resident Evil 3 New Game Plus, Capcom has instead bundled in a 4vs1 multiplayer mode called Resident Evil Resistance to bulk up the package. However, unlike the meaty, visually stunning single-player campaign that had me eager to return for seconds, Resistance is a briefly fun distraction that hasn’t left a mark on my memory. Resistance is a Dead by Daylight-esque asymmetrical multiplayer game that sees four non-descript survivors go up against one of Resident Evil’s canonical masterminds: Annette Birkin, Daniel Fabron, Alex Wesker, and Earl Spencer. As a survivor, the goal is to methodically scour the map for keys to unlock the exits of three areas before the timer ends; the Mastermind, meanwhile, gets to cackle delightfully over-the-top dialogue and throw zombies, heavies, explosives, traps, and all sorts of other obstacles at the survivors to stop them in their tracks.
Annoyingly, there is no on-screen minimap in Resistance, which means you have to play with your full-screen map pulled up at all times. Considering how much of playing as a survivor involves combing corridors for randomly placed items, this feels like an oversight. Still, a nice sense of flow can occur if you all work together to unlock the exit as fast as possible. The six survivor characters have various class-based skills that are fun to play around with: Tyronne the tank, for example, has a power kick that sends zombies flying, meanwhile, January the hacker can disable the Mastermind’s cameras, which will cripple him or her for vital seconds.
