A survival action game featuring BOWs

Resident Evil 6 is part of Capcom’s classic Resident Evil franchise in which Bio Organic Weapons pose a constant threat to the protagonist. In this game, you may choose between four protagonists who run through unique campaigns of their own.

An action horror and shooting game

After the groundbreaking game Resident Evil 4, and after watching Leon in the CGI movies, you may worry that Leon is due to go the way of Freddy Kruger, but worry not as Capcom manage to successfully leverage the action-centric buzz of the CGI movies and bring it over to Resident Evil 6 in a survival horror action game. Forget chasing keys and moving boxes, you are hurled into a conspiracy adventure where BOWs have been honed into controllable and unstoppable machines that are frighteningly efficient when compared to their predecessors.

An action game where once there was survival horror

If one had to pick faults, one could argue that Resident Evil 6 has abandoned its paced survival horror genre for survival action, which may not be to everybody’s taste. Also, the game is rife with Quick-Time events and it has an unskippable death animation that becomes annoying. This game has grown into an action game, which is a natural stop off point for the franchise before RE7 took it back to being a scary slow-paced horror. If you hate the type of gameplay that made Uncharted famous, then you should skip ahead to RE7 and give RE6 a miss. Do not watch the RE6 trailer because they do a “Terminator Genysis” on you and tell you the twist in the trailer.

Blending action and survival horror

Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 promises to be the dramatic horror experience of 2013. Resident Evil favorites Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Ada Wong are joined by new characters, including Jake Muller, to face a new horror, the highly virulent C-virus, as the narrative moves between North America, the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and the Chinese city of Lanshiang.

With four distinct, yet interwoven story threads, each with their own pair of protagonists for either solo or co-op play, both offline and online, not only will Resident Evil 6 deliver both different perspectives and gameplay styles but, with the introduction of the innovative Crossover mechanic players will be able to team up and share the horror. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay.
