Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a third-person shooter and is a spin-off of the long-running Resident Evil series. Unlike the main games in the series, it is less of a survival horror game and more of an action-packed shooter. The game includes twelve playable characters, however the players can choose only four characters for the online modes. Each team member has their own special role and abilities.
What it feels like
A present threat from zombies and enemy forces creates active danger, though tempered by shooter action focus. The Raccoon City setting and undead enemies convey a harsh, unflinching darkness.
What it's about
Undead enemies and the Raccoon City outbreak setting anchor the horror atmosphere. Paramilitary team operations and military-style squad structure define the framing. Survival elements exist but are secondary to action-shooting mechanics.
How it plays
Aiming and firing firearms with tactical feedback is the core interaction, defining the shift from survival horror to action-shooter gameplay. Third-person positioning, taking cover, and tactical shooting against grouped enemies form the central combat loop. Twelve distinct playable characters with specialized roles and abilities define team diversity.
How it looks and sounds
The entire experience is framed from a third-person camera following the character.
How it's structured
A full campaign designed to be played cooperatively with up to four-player teams is a major structural component. Online cooperative play is supported and featured alongside competitive multiplayer modes. Squad composition and team-role systems structure both campaign and multiplayer play.
