    It’s a DbD and L4D mashup set in the REverse. Fun to play with friends/competent team. The balance can be a bit off (supercharging an armored zombie can end the game pretty early) but not everybody youtubes mastermind tactics. 4 masterminds, including 3 that must be unlocked. 6 characters to choose from/level up, and a currency system based on performance within matches played.It’s a DbD and L4D mashup set in the REverse.

Progression/cosmetics use the same currency-disappointing that all cosmetics are loot box style. Cannot stress enough that you will have a bad time due to teammates who cannot find the exit/are stuck in the maze like hallways of some maps.… Expand

    RE resistance is a good time for a short time that I think would truly be great with a group of friends. The game pits survivors and a mastermind against each other both played by players. The survivors play like typical resident evil characters all having their own special abilities like hacking the masterminds cameras, temporary unlimited ammo and a aoe healing ability. The survivorsRE resistance is a good time for a short time that I think would truly be great with a group of friends. The game pits survivors and a mastermind against each other both played by players. The survivors play like typical resident evil characters all having their own special abilities like hacking the masterminds cameras, temporary unlimited ammo and a aoe healing ability. The survivors need to collect key items in each area to advance with their being three areas in total per map. The Mastermind has a set of camera from which he can observe the survivors from as well as set traps such as mines, zombies and other creatures including an ultimate monster depending on which mastermind your playing. The mastermind are given a deck of card that include the above items and where you apply them creates a strategic gameplay style that was fun to mess around with. The goal of the survivours to escape all three areas by beating all the objects within the time limit and the mastermind has to stop them from doing so. The actions of each faction increases or decreases the time which means a well placed monster can change the tide quickly if the survivors aren't careful. Playing as the survivors gives you new micro sized RE areas to explore that I honestly enjoyed exploring and the structure of being able to buy stuff based on performance gave me strong COD zombies vibes which is rarely a bad thing. Overall this game was enjoyable and not the afterthought I assumed it was.… Expand

    Good potential and idea but gameplay is bad, Capcom should add mercaneries instead of resistance.

    It's a good game, The idea was interesting, the graphics are good and it is fun to play. Those were the only positive points. The cons: you will get bored after a few days, maybe weeks, the are a lot of bugs and above it all the servers are bad and the game crashes a lot too.

    Overall, the game is fun and a worthy addition to the Resident Evil franchise. All it needs is a couple of tweaks and a dedicated fan base, and it could become one of the more popular Resident Evil games purely because of its endless replayability and fun factor.

    With a refined matchmaking system (and rewards to go with it), as well as a balanced set of character classes and improved monster control, it could be a sleeper hit for many. For now, though, it feels like a missed opportunity. The fact it's bundled with a fantastic 5-star game in the form of Resident Evil 3 Remake, certainly helps. But as a standalone product, it's a fun but ultimately flawed experience; albeit one we hope improves in time.

    Resident Evil Resistance is wildly inconsistent. There are great ideas buried underneath abysmal balancing, annoying technical issues, and matchmaking woes. Playing as series icons like William Birkin and Mr. X is an appreciated novelty, but the routine objectives make playing as the survivors tiresome. With enough love and care, hopefully Resistance’s better ideas can rise to the surface, but right now there’s still a lot of work to be done.
