Umbrella Corps

Umbrella Corps is a competitive multiplayer shooter that features zombies. Players play as a mercenary from two different corporations, and they are tasked to co-operate with their fellow mercenaries to eliminate all the hostile players. Players can choose to play from a first-person perspective, or a third-person perspective.

The game's maps are described as "compact battle zones" which have traditional historic Resident Evil themes and environments. The game features gadgets like semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, pistols, grenades and explosives, as well as unusual melee-weapons like Brainer combat axes. In order to travel between maps in an effective way, the game features repurposed climbing gear, as well as "Terrain Spikes", which can be used for traversing tough ground. There are three classes available for players to choose from; namely assault, short range, and tactical. Each class is equipped with different weapons.

Umbrella Corps, a paramilitary unit became active in infiltrating quarantined zones, taking advantage of the BSAA's inability to sterilize all sites of bio-terror attacks. Settings that resemble locations that have been destroyed such as Spencer Mansion and Raccoon City are explained as being recreations for training purposes.

The single-player portion, "The Experiment", takes place in 2012 and 2013. An agent codenamed 3A-7 is sent on missions by Umbrella Corps in order to test out new equipment such as the Zombie Jammer. Once the testing is successful, his superiors try to kill him by sending him on more dangerous missions. "The Experiment" ends with 3A-7 overcoming all odds and surviving all of the missions, scaring his superiors into comparing him to HUNK as the "new Grim Reaper".

The game was developed by Capcom's Osaka studio, which is Capcom's headquarters. The team aimed to create a game with concentrated fast-paced combat and multiplayer experience offered by current eSports in the market. Instead of a large open environment, the maps featured in the game are usually small and dense. The game drew influences from western-style shooters for Windows.

The name of the Asian version, "Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps", was trademarked by Capcom on July 29, 2015, and was revealed at the Sony Computer Entertainment's press conference at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show one and a half month later. It is a downloadable game which also saw a limited physical release in Asia, and was set to be released for Windows and PlayStation 4 in May 2016. The game was later delayed to June 21, 2016.

Reception to the game was generally negative. On its reveal, critics compared the game to the Call of Duty franchise and Capcom's own Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, which itself had a mixed reception. Andy Chalk from PC Gamer thought that the game strayed too far from the franchise and thought that it was a pointless addition to the series. Nicholas Tan from GameRevolution thought that Umbrella Corps was a standard and generic first-person shooter with a Resident Evil skin on it.

com criticized the small size of the maps (which he considered “generally quite boring") and the field of view. He described Umbrella Corps as "a bizarre mishmash of styles and elements that don't fit together at all" and very expensive "for too little in the way of quality". However, Michael McWhertor from Polygon praised the game after trying it. He added that the game can offer "quick" fun despite being odd and thought that it suits its budgeted price.
