Umbrella Corps Critic Reviews

Umbrella Corps' single player isn't convincing and, what is worse, its multiplayer is confusing and chaotic, mostly because of its clunky mechanics and horrible performance. Also, the lack of content makes it repetitive in the short term.

I gave this game several chances, but after turning off my PS4 and walking away from it just now, I'm realizing that I have no motivation to boot Umbrella Corps back up when there are so many alternatives that look, sound, feel, and play better. Wait for a sale and pick this up cheaply if you're a die-hard fan, but keep your friends close and your expectations low.

Umbrella Corps can be fun with friends in multiplayer mode, but it is definitely a game that is not for everyone.

Umbrella Corps’ intentions are clear, but this target was missed due to an apparent disregard for the game’s core feature.

It was clever to cut the name Resident Evil from the title. Even better it world have been to cut all ties to the Zombie-IP. With its technical flaws and abundant content this shooter is as much needed as another Operation Raccoon City or another hole in the head.

If you’re in the market for a good team-based, third-person shooter game, look elsewhere. You can certainly find better shooter games that aren’t plagued with sticky cover mechanics and awkward animations. And if you’re looking for the next terrifying Resident Evil game to satisfy your zombie-killing tendencies, this isn’t the game for you either; Umbrella Corps is simply a mediocre third-person shooter hiding under a Resident Evil skin.

Umbrella Corps can’t decide if it wants to be Counter Strike or Quake, but there’s still some solid gunplay action to be had with the right teams despite its problems. It’s not the disaster that it could have been, but it also isn’t something that’s worth putting at the top of your game pile.

If you are a fan of the franchise, there are better ways to celebrate the 20th anniversary than this game.

There is the sense that this was a quick and dirty project, created for who knows what reason, but here it is, and it’s only recommended for players extremely curious.

As it stands, Umbrella Corps is a hard sell even at $29.99. The content just seems void of enjoyment and entertainment because of the broken feel of the overall gameplay design. I will give Capcom and its developers props for trying something different in the RE series. The idea seems to be built on good intentions.

It doesn’t feel like it’s finished, and even if it were to be further refined, it would just be a low-budget Gears of War-style shoot-‘em-up. There’s no reason to play it.

Umbrella Corps is an unusual online shooter. Unfortunately, its odd mix of mechanics don’t come together well, and its online matchmaking is a total joke. I once waited almost 20 minutes for a match that lasted less than 10 minutes. In that amount of time, you could drive to the store and buy a better game.

Umbrella Corps is not the game Resident Evil deserves in its 20th anniversary. Scarce content and lack of depth means that it is not a good multiplayer action game either.

A muddled shooter where a lack of braaains and finesse derail any brief undead thrills.

The best thing that can be said about Umbrella Corps is that it isn't as bad as it looked, which wasn't actually really hard. Several mistakes in its gameplay mechanics turn interesting ideas into something tedious and repetitive.

With its sloppy gameplay mechanics and unbalanced weapons, Umbrella Corps is a really disappointing spin-off.

Umbrella Corps is a mediocre shooter, with several issues in terms of balance, gameplay and modes.

Umbrella Corps is another Capcom mistake. There are a lot of competitive multiplayer games better than this, and there is no reason to play this game. That is a shame for the entire Resident evil saga.

Four years after Operation Raccoon, Capcom ventures once again in the TPS multiplayer genre with Umbrella Corps. But the game isn't quite up to the standards of today, and it would have been a better idea to use it as Resident Evil VII's multiplayer mode.

Umbrella Corps is a great idea with really poor development and a lousy execution. Somebody should have checked the game twice before release, because the mechanics and gameplay are absolutely awful. The only mode that could keep you relatively engaged would be the single player mode because the multiplayer front is completely deserted.
