For a mobile game and as a diehard Resident Evil fan, Survival Unit exceeded my expectations. The game is split into two modes of gameplay as you progress through the story (as far as I know of). One mode is more along the lines of our classic RE gameplay. Walk through rooms and hallways, find key items, shoot enemies (or run) and solve puzzles. The atmosphere is surprisingly immersive with the ambience and the sound of your footsteps as it echoes throughout the halls and corridors. There are also notes to pick up and read that add to the story, just like in any of our beloved RE main titles. Now the other portion of the game does feel more mobile-like. You place the characters you have accumulated in a given position, and watch as they mow down a wave of zombies automatically. You do get special abilities that can be used during this time like a gatling gun but other than that, it doesn’t feel as immersive as the first mode where you get to explore on your own.All in all I give it a solid 5 for exceeding my expectations as a mobile game, and nailing the classic Resident Evil atmosphere and immersion.

I know I may be a little biased when rating this game, but I do genuinely believe that Resident Evil Survival Unit is the next step forward for mobile gaming as a whole. I haven’t played it for too long, but I can already say that it does a great job porting existing resident evil mechanics into your pocket. It’s also not your standard simulation game that you see oh so frequently in the app story today. RESV thrives on its unique gameplay that you will find almost no where else. The game gives you an exiting tutorial that teaches you all the standard mechanics of a resident evil game. It may branch off from the main canon of the original games, but it does so in a way that feels fluid and as if it could have actually been the plot of the mainline titles. Previous fans of the series will have a great time seeing some of their favorite characters fight within exciting new combat, while newer fans will love the fun new story that provides a good introduction to what makes Resident Evil games so incredible.

As a massive Resident Evil fan, this game was (at least a little bit) exciting to hear about. And when it starts it’s very promising. There’s a cute little fixed-camera exploration segment with some RE1 references. After about 15 minutes of that, the game becomes a generic mobile game where you have a “survival base” and you join a faction and you have to constantly upgrade stuff. The amount of different gameplay types there are in this game is ridiculous. There’s this weird Raid: Shadow Legends tactical combat mode, there’s the exploration mode ala RE1, there’s a map where you can see your alliance and it’s just too much.There are menus upon menus upon menus upon menus upon menus all with buttons to tap to fill my brain with dopamine. This game is meant to be played with your mouth wide open while drool spills down your shirt. There are so many mechanics to keep track of but I think the intent is for you to not understand them so you just click buttons and accidentally spend a buck or two. It feels like five games in one, and only one of them is decent.It’s genuine slop, which is really unfortunate cuz the game started out kinda cool. There’s some neat ideas and clearly there were some people on this team that had passion but overall it’s not worth your time.

Actually a very good survival game like the title says. The graphics are pretty good, the story good as well and the building and stuff is as well. I also really like how they pretty much have a lot of actual people from the games in this game. I think my only issue is like when there is a cut scene and people are talking it kinda goes by fast I wanna say like u got maybe 3 or 5 secs to read something that goes from one side of ur screen to another. If they can maybe make it slow I won’t see no issues in this game honestly. But love the game so glad I got. everyone who likes building and surviving games should definitely give this a try you would like it.
