Resident Evil Revelations

3ds game that doesn't feel like one, good bio campaign specially at inferno difficulty, but the real game is the raid mode. Being on the spectrum is required to enjoy it, the 5 people that still play it are all japanese so this is extremely niche japan autism cock and ball grinding torture. I have played quite a few greedy gacha games and all of them are a lot more forgiving with the drops.

The dogshit clunky dodge system is the closest thing to voice training I have ever seen in a game and I wouldn't change it for nothing, you either get it kinda fast with little to no practice or it's some esoteric skill that a mere mortal cannot learn in a lifetime and you complain about it being the most bullshit thing ever.

CAPCOM I beg you, make an entire raid game instead of the slop like resistance or umbrella corps, add more maps, weapons, enemies, parts, skills, proper online play, events, special stages like the ghost ship, characters, even worse grinding (if that's even possible) and this beautiful dodge system that will age the game in 15 years at launch, I wouldn't play anything else for the rest of my life.

Overall Score: 8.5/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️
Pros: ✅ Classic survival horror vibes ✅ Atmospheric and tense setting ✅ Engaging story ✅ Solid gameplay and gunplay ✅ Raid Mode is fun and addictive
Cons: ❌ Some backtracking issues ❌ Occasional pacing problems ❌ Controls feel clunky at times

Review Breakdown
1. Gameplay - 8.5/10 🎮
"Resident Evil: Revelations" brings back the tense survival horror elements of classic RE games while blending in modern action mechanics. The game is structured like an episodic TV series, which helps keep the suspense high. You’ll explore creepy, claustrophobic environments, manage limited ammo, and take on grotesque bio-organic weapons (B.O.Ws).

✅ A strong mix of horror and action
✅ Tense, atmospheric combat with limited resources
✅ Raid Mode is an addictive co-op experience
❌ Some sections feel repetitive with too much backtracking

2. Story & Atmosphere - 9/10 🧩
Set between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, Revelations follows Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they investigate a derelict cruise ship, the Queen Zenobia. The setting is a standout feature—dark, eerie hallways reminiscent of the Spencer Mansion make for an excellent horror atmosphere.

✅ Well-paced, intriguing storyline
✅ Strong survival horror elements bring back old-school RE vibes
✅ Memorable set pieces and enemy encounters
❌ Some side characters feel underdeveloped

3. Graphics & Sound - 8/10 🎵
Originally designed for the 3DS, the HD versions received a visual overhaul. While it’s not as polished as later RE games, the lighting and environmental design are effective at creating tension. The soundtrack and sound design amplify the horror—creepy noises, eerie silence, and monster roars all add to the immersion.

✅ Great atmosphere with improved HD visuals
✅ Strong use of lighting and sound for tension
❌ Character animations can feel stiff at times

4. Combat & Controls - 8/10 🔫
The over-the-shoulder combat works well, similar to Resident Evil 4/5, but movement can feel a bit clunky at times. The addition of scanning mechanics (Genesis Scanner) to find hidden items adds a layer of strategy but isn’t always fun to use repeatedly.

✅ Satisfying gunplay with tense, limited ammo mechanics
✅ Enemy designs are creepy and engaging
❌ Movement and aiming can feel sluggish

5. Multiplayer & Raid Mode - 9/10 👥
One of Revelations’ best features is Raid Mode, which turns the game into a fast-paced, action-packed experience with co-op options. It offers tons of replayability with different weapons, difficulty levels, and characters to unlock.

✅ Raid Mode is incredibly fun and addictive
✅ Multiplayer co-op extends replay value
❌ Main campaign is strictly single-player

Final Verdict: 8.5/10 - A Fantastic Blend of Horror & Action
"Resident Evil: Revelations" successfully blends old-school survival horror with modern action, making it a must-play for Resident Evil fans. The eerie ship setting, tense atmosphere, and engaging story make it stand out, while Raid Mode adds hours of replayability. However, some pacing issues, backtracking, and slightly clunky controls keep it from reaching perfection.

🔹 Recommended for: Resident Evil fans, survival horror lovers, players who enjoy co-op modes
🔹 Not for: Players who dislike slower-paced horror games or prefer pure action

Would I recommend Resident Evil: Revelations? Yes—especially if you love classic RE tension with a modern twist! 🧟‍♂️

You know what’s worse than being stranded in the middle of the ocean? Being stranded in the middle of the ocean with zombies. So this is a spin off/ important titles in the games. It’s gets confusing what’s cannon when the make games for handheld system. Looking at you Kingdom Hearts. Anyways for being a 3Ds game being ported to PC was weird experience. The game was deigned for 3DS controls so the can feel wacky at times with its control scheme ported to keyboard or Xbox controller. The map it’s self is really small since of the smaller game file it was for, although for a Resident Evil game it still works. The story goes that Chris has been kidnapped and it’s up to Jill to go save him. However it was a trap for her she must fight for her life to get off the cruise ship of horror. It had good atmosphere and it is a truly scary place to be trapped with by monsters. It worth a play through, but there is no co op for the story which is a bummer . RE game be fun co op games. Is it my favorite? No. It got a couple of hiccups here and there but still a spooky ride. If I was stuck on a boat with these monsters I might just sink the ship. 6.5/10

Resident Evil Revelations fails to deliver a satisfying experience, feeling more like a chore than a compelling survival horror game. The gameplay lacks excitement, with dull and unintuitive enemy design that makes encounters feel uninspired. The constant need to scan environments for items quickly becomes tedious rather than engaging, and the puzzles offer little challenge or enjoyment. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is the horrendous user interface, which is clunky and poorly designed. Overall, too many elements feel off, making this entry a disappointing misstep for the franchise.

absolute shit, runs well but damn this game is terrible, bad gameplay and terrible story and im not even gonna finish it.

A middling entry in the RE franchise. I give it a Thumbs Up, but a small one.

It exists in that weird period between RE5 and RE6 where Capcom was unsure on where to take the series. This game largely plays similarly to RE5, but more of an emphasis on classic RE: find keys to open doors and get from A to B.

It unfortunately suffers from the bizarre choice to make the game episodic. Yeah... this has not aged well at all. If anything, this game would have greatly benefited from being just Jill on the ship. No Parker and no other scenarios. Just JIll exploring around on this large ship, because the design of the ship itself is quite Resident Evil-y.

In fact, there's a mission in the game's side mode, Raid Mode, that really should have been what the main campaign was: Ghost Ship has you trek through majority of the ship and fight increasingly difficult enemies as you progress.

Instead, the main campaign will interrupt your current gameplay flow by throwing in different episodes with characters in different areas that you honestly don't give a crap about. It's kind of annoying. You'll be playing as Jill going through the ship and just having a good time exploring, but Oh No - we need to know the lore on Terragrigia and what happened to Parker and Jessica on the day it fell. We also apparently deeply needed to know the lore on what Chris and Jessica were up to during all this while exploring a bland snowy tundra. These side segments play just as well as I am describing them - it's easy to tell that they were developed after the ship was as they just feel so tacked on.

When you do play as Jill, the game is mostly fun... as long as you aren't fighting a lot of enemies. This game's big bad BOW is the Oozes. Basically, imagine if you took the Regenerators from RE4 and made them more goofy. There's a wide variety of what these Oozes will come in: some just shamble at ya, some will shoot stuff at you, some have really long claws and will try to rip you up, some explode, some have a shield and sword and act like zombie knights.
It's interesting to see what they did with the idea of the Oozes, but fighting them ranges from easy-peasy to extremely frustrating.
Constantly, you'll be shot at by something off screen, and you'll be like "Where the hell did that come from??? Oh. That dude way over there."
And the knight ones can be quite a threat when you destroy one of its parts.
Destroy its torso and you got a walking electric tentacle spamming slaps at you.
Destroy its legs and now you got this crawling lunging sword coming at you.

Cool ideas, but boy does it get frustrating to deal with especially in Raid Mode where the enemies get different modifiers. Some get super speed. Some get a big buff to their physical attack power. Some get super tanky and take forever to kill. Etc.

Raid Mode itself was a good idea, but Jesus is it grindy as hell. I don't think it's actually possible to complete Raid Mode without using co-op at some point. Maybe you can, but damn, you will be grinding a metric ass ton. Interestingly enough, completing the Ghost Ship level with a Trinity Bonus (no damage taken, all enemies killed, and be at the appropriate level) gives you some of the best weapon parts in the game - the problem is - you definitely need some of that gear to complete Ghost Ship. It's a weird circle of dependencies. I do not envy the person who completed Ghost Ship without any of that gear as that must have been one hell of a slog to play through.

I actually prefer the 3DS version of this game's Raid Mode as it was way more straight-forward. I don't know why they felt the need to make it so MMO-y in this version.

So, Revelations as a whole is decent, but it has its quirky rough spots. I very tacitly recommend it if you are just looking for something to scratch an RE itch or if you want to play a grindy loot based third-person-shooter in Raid Mode. It has its fun moments - especially when you get to explore the ship, but the lows are deep. If you can put up with, give it a play.

Your nostalgia glasses are on way too tight.

Resident Evil: Revelations – A Tense and Atmospheric Return to Survival Horror

This game is like an abusive ex. I hate it, it hurts me, tortures me, but for some reason I can't help loving it.

its fine but the characters suck and dodging is bad, buy for 5 dollars if you like resident evil, otherwise this game can go to ohio like it drank the fricken grimace shake

Really cool game with a decent story. Atmosphere aboard the ship is really nice and is balances action and horror pretty well.

lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate

It's not worth it, not a great story, even though we get to play as Jill again. This game has aged terribly, the enemy death animations are very confusing; they seem to stay alive for 2 or 3 seconds before finally falling, making you waste unnecessary bullets. Some chapters are extremely short, literally lasting only 2 minutes, what were they thinking? When you swim, there's no oxygen indicator; you just die after a short while. Enemy health is also very inconsistent., sometimes they die with a single pistol shot, and other times they take three shotgun blasts, wtf bro. Luckily, the game is short because once I started it, I couldn't wait to be done with this mediocre experience. I only played it so I could play Resident Evil: Revelations 2. I hope it's better than this garbage.

10/10 Great game, Great story, And it's on a ship!

A lot of fun. Very action oriented with the beginning being a bit more survival horror.

The only revelation I had is that this game kind of sucks. The difficulty is inconsistent; it's either too easy or too hard. It feels clunky and unwieldy. Don't be fooled by the recurring characters like Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, the story is pretty irrelevant to the main games, and from what I understand so is Revelations 2. I haven't played Revelations 2, but if it's anything like this one I'll definitely skip it.

despite the cheesiest voice acting and that weird duo we control for a short time. pretty solid resident evil game, if you love the series, play it, adds more depth to the lore.

Good game. Must play.

Um jogo sólido e divertido. Começa meio parado, mas o meio para o final compensa. Apesar de ser, na minha opinião "o pior Resident Evil", ainda é um jogo decente e vale a pena ser zerado

Bullet sponges are just unnerving.

Resident Evil Revelations is an intriguing entry in the franchise, one that tries to balance classic survival horror elements with a more action-oriented modern approach.
While it has its moments, the overall experience feels uneven, with flashes of brilliance overshadowed by some lackluster choices...
The game starts strong with its initial ship segment aboard the Queen Zenobia.
This setting is easily the highlight of the experience, evoking a sense of claustrophobia and dread that harkens back to the series’ survival horror roots.
Exploring the eerie, water-drenched corridors of the ship reminded me of "Cold Fear", a similarly atmospheric game that made excellent use of its isolated oceanic setting!
For a while, the game captures the kind of creeping tension that fans of the franchise crave.
Unfortunately, this focus on suspense doesn’t last.
As the story branches out to different characters and locations, the atmosphere gives way to action-heavy sequences that dilute the tension built in the opening hours.
While the variety in environments and characters adds scope to the narrative, it comes at the cost of the intimate horror that made the ship so compelling.
Gameplay is a mixed bag.
The return of limited ammo and resources adds a welcome layer of strategy, but the controls and combat mechanics can feel clunky at times, especially during more frantic encounters.
The enemy design is also hit-or-miss, while some creatures are genuinely creepy, others come across as uninspired and repetitive.
The story, while serviceable, leans heavily into melodrama and convoluted conspiracies that are hard to take seriously.
Jill Valentine is a welcome protagonist, but the supporting cast is less memorable, with some characters feeling more like caricatures than fully realized individuals.
On the technical side, the game looks great for its time, especially considering its origins on handheld platforms.
The lighting and environmental details are standout features, but the game’s pacing issues and reliance on action undermine the strong first impression.
In the end, Resident Evil Revelations is a game of two halves.
The initial ship sequence is fantastic, delivering a chilling and immersive experience that fans of classic survival horror will appreciate.
But as the game progresses, it loses its way, becoming just another action-heavy entry in the series.
It’s worth playing for the Queen Zenobia sections alone, but don’t expect the rest of the game to maintain the same level of quality.

The graphics are pretty bland and basic, but keep in mind that this was originally a Nintendo 3DS game! For a shorter 3DS game, this is fairly good! It's not as long, complex, and refined as other games of the franchise but for what it is, it's fairly good.

It's got all a the hallmarks of the Resident evil - campy dialogue, rocket launchers, some tired reused plot about a special virus, a Victorian mansion setting with with double stairs (even if you're on a ship!), and lots and lots of gratuitous sexual tension and innuendos!

Surprisingly it all comes together fairly well! It's FAST, much more straightforward than other RE games, even WITH the backtracking. However things develop fast and there are some good twists and turns for good measure. The story is a 7/10 but interesting enough to keep things fresh. The episodic nature disjointed perspective of the plot being told by different characters and flashbacks are a new take on the traditional linear RE plot. You to experience the story from the past, the present, and through the eyes of all your favorite characters! It's novel and it works.

It's definitely worth a play if you're searching for a light experience. It's not a masterclass, but it's a fun time.

Peak featuring Jill in more spandex than you'd even need

Great spin-off game for RE

Love the gameplay, graphics , story telling features, Jill and Jessica, the headshots. Cool game.

They could've just make this game a tv show rather than videogame. as a game its bad, as a tv show it would've been better, but its a 3ds game so that makes sense why its gameplay and mecahnics feel off, for 3ds its a magnificent 3ds game, but as Resident evil game, its not the best but not the worst either. story is short, characters are not memorable and antagonist is bad. get it on sale or avoid it, it does add up some character development to Jill and Chris.

The controls are pretty rough. It FEELS like you're emulating a 3DS game. Multiplayer is also dead.

That said the campaign is off the walls Hideo Kojima style absurd. One of the more fun stories in the series. Absolutely worth a 5 dollar sale price. Took me just under 7 hours to beat on normal difficulty.

Great game great raid mode in coop.

This isn't even a game, it's a failure with pixels. How can Resident Evil 1 released in 2002 be better than this "game" which released in 2012?

Short answer: It's a cash grab with the Resident Evil label.

Long answer:
There is simply 0 effort put into the game. Besides the graphics that are ok to look old, the movement is hilariously bad, simply moving side to see looks like you slide around and that's the most basic thing you need to have in a game. It's like making an FPS, but instead of a 3D gun model you have a PNG, glaring af, always there to remember you how little effort was put into it. On top of that there is no localized damage or enemy reacting to getting shot. The walking and attack animations of the enemies look like low res GIFs, especially the regenerator enemy you see at the start. Again, Resident evil 1 a game that released a whole 10 years earlier didn't have ANY of those issues, they simply didn't give a f this time around, I'll be refunding.

If you want to see for yourself then play the first "episode" it's about 10 minutes long and you have to do a MMORPG "kill 5 things" quest, I'm not even joking... have fun scanning those blobs of meat.

PS: Revelations 2 is miles better than this, I actually recommend you play that one instead and skip this one.

Amazing game and story. Worth playing for sure! Only thing is the movement, can be a bit weird in the beginning but you can surely get used to it!

It's a slight improvement from RE 4..... Strafing is allowed! wooo! And they added in a way to dodge attacks too, wooo! But no sprint/run? Still prefer the inventory system from RE 4. Why is there still no FOV slider? You got the FOV so close behind Jill that I may have discovered a new kink whilst I playing.

And what's with special ops team bringing in a shitty flash light? They should at least be bringing the imalent ms18 and light the bastard up!

The weapon selection was ok.....although it would be nice if I had more time with my python....and one shotting monsters.... :P The weapon mod system was a nice touch, would be better if I could attach the same kind to stack effects..... :D

Aw man the boss at the end was so bullet spongy.....what happened to my RPG I saved back the monster squid scene??? And why does the RPG not register in the weapons chest??? I could have equiped myself with 3 RPGs and killed the boss in a few seconds....but nooooooo........ Where's my chicago typewriter and infinite launcher? They would have been nice here....

I think this game is nice with a decent story. It was nothing too exciting or major, but it was fun while it lasted. Resident Evil Revelations is a game worth trying because when you are in a state in which you wonder how you can pass the time then this is the answer. If you are a horror fan you will find some jump scares scattered here and there with a somewhat satisfying shooting experience. All in all, I'd give this game 7/10 and would recommend to others as being worth a shot.

Cheesy and B-movie quality with some cringey dialogue and line delivery. However, very fun and a decent Resident Evil romp. I'd say the identity crisis this game has hurts it more than it benefits (whiplash between Jill's more nautical horror sections with ammo conservation; Chris's shoot em up stages; the two dumb and dumber Keith and Quinn duo who has the worst performances and cringe inducing wisecracks and oversexualised comedy). Still, I had fun with this and will include it in replays. Raid mode is great but I can't be bothered with replaying everything for added unlocks. Not difficult but difficulty spikes for bosses. Get on sale.

"Mayday, mayday, this is the Queen Zenobia..."

For something that started out as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive game, Revelations has no business being nearly as good as it actually is.
Back when the Resident Evil franchise was focused all-in on action, Revelations dared turn that dial down, and focus once again on what made this franchise... Survival Horror.
This game is incredibly moody and atmospheric. Specially the parts on the ship, which is thankfully most of the game, and it's where it shines the most. The gameplay is good, the enemies are incredibly unsettling. I cannot stress enough how terrifying some of these creatures are, just wait until you meet the Communications Officer... The characters and plot are quite interesting, though unfortunately the franchise never really followed up on some of the loose ends.
If you just ignore some of the dumb action scenes (I swear there's a part in this game where you kill up to 30 Hunters at once), and the... Questionable character design (Rachel, anyone?), this game is honestly outstanding. Well worth it.

pretty nice overall, enjoyed the story and setting, monsters on inferno soak up bullets tho. fun raid mode 7/10

Jill is my wife and I get to do but stuff!!

Pretty entertaining.
Decent story, nice action, not a lot of survival horror.
One of the best final bosses in RE history imho.

There is also Raid mode, which is pretty fun!

You get to play mainly as Jill Valentine but you will also get to control other characters like Chris Redfield.
Totally recommended to any Resi fan.

The Revelations games are like hidden gems!

This game is scary af I hate it. Playing it on inferno while knowing nothing about this series is the right way to play

No FOV settings. The default camera view is so fucking narrow it's unplayable. Also user-made FOV mods were killed when Capcom updated the game in 2019. Wondering why Capcom didn't add a simple FOV slider for PC release? I don't know, nobody knows. What the fuck, Capcom?

This game was a blast to play 'Story-wise' not so much 'Game-play wise' as the controls are a little wonky but holy crap the twists and turns the story made along the way had me gasping and my jaw dropping. The story is such an over the top cinematic piece that it was just so amazing to experience. Maybe a little lack luster at the beginning but as you grow closer to the halfway mark in the game it gets so good!! Honestly surprised with how much I enjoyed it given at the beginning I thought it would suck. Well done Capcom.

The jankest writing and most unlikable characters I have EVER heard or seen in any RE Game.

The plot of Resident Evil in this game is quite unique, adopting a style similar to the prequel of American TV shows, and the plot is also conventional. It tells the story of Jill and Chris in the early days of BSAA before the 5th birthday. However, the only downside is that the PC optimization is not very good. For example, every time we change the scene in the elevator, there will be a lag, and in the assault mode, we can invite your friends to work together to achieve success

great game, graphics could be better but considering its a eds port that's fine.
i own this game on all my consoles, it's that good
despite this, it really is a full on resident evil experience, cutting no corners to deliver.

9/10 game buy it

Pretty good story. I really only like RE 1-4 but this one was enjoyable.

i don't really know how to describe this game much it's fun but the mechanics are very dated ik this was orginally a ds game but still the controls are very weird. It has a good story tho
