The gameplay of this title has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players criticizing its lack of depth, balance, and variety. Common complaints include repetitive mechanics, frustrating stun-locks, and a chaotic free-for-all mode that fails to deliver a satisfying experience. While some players find moments of fun and appreciate certain mechanics, the overall consensus is that the gameplay feels shallow and unpolished, making it difficult to recommend.
- “This game has impressed me with its solid mechanics, and the best part is that I received it for free when I purchased Resident Evil Village.”

- “The gameplay loop is fun and there are lots of potential for characters and locations.”
- “The gameplay is the worst part; it's not surprising that this died a long while ago. The creature gameplay is just button mashing, and the gunplay is somehow a downgrade from every Resident Evil.”
- “The game's lackluster graphics, shallow gameplay, and unstable performance make it a disgusting experience that is not worth the time or money.”
- “I was hoping for a fun Resident Evil themed multiplayer third-person shooter; instead, I got a pile of hot steaming garbage with a terrible user interface and shallow gameplay.”

The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as outdated, resembling titles from the PS3 era or even earlier, such as the Wii. While some appreciate the comic book art style, the overall consensus is that the visuals are lackluster, plagued by glitches, and fail to meet modern standards, especially when compared to recent entries in the Resident Evil franchise. Performance issues further exacerbate the graphical shortcomings, leading to a disappointing experience for many players.
- “The art style, I absolutely love the comic book shading.”

- “The game's lackluster graphics, shallow gameplay, and unstable performance make it a disgusting experience that is not worth the time or money.”
- “My body aches from even looking at the piss-poor graphics that look like they were ripped directly from a 2008 Nintendo Wii game.”
- “Graphics are grainy and look like something that could have been played on the original NES; the gameplay is just ridiculous, no real thought has to be put into gameplay, just run around like an idiot and shoot things.”

The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, featuring aggressive microtransactions and a battle pass system that detracts from the overall experience. Many reviewers express frustration over the lack of content and variety, suggesting that the game feels like a minimum viable product designed primarily to extract money from players rather than provide a fulfilling gaming experience. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as greedy and poorly implemented, leading to a negative perception of the game's value.
- “At least the monetization is better than Overwatch.”
- “I guess the only positive is that it's not something they are charging separately for; it comes with Resident Evil Village, an actually good game, but there is no reason to have a battle pass and microtransactions here.”
- “If Capcom is looking for a title they can keep pushing content for and add microtransactions to, they should obviously remake or recreate an outbreak style game.”
- “The monetization in this game is disgusting given the lack of content such as maps and game modes.”
- “Get rid of the battle pass microtransaction nonsense and you've got an inoffensive little multiplayer game, but with only 2 maps, barely any unlockables, and the worthless battle pass, this just isn't even worth installing.”
- “It could become a great game, but now it's a bare-bones asset flip with cheap stun locking and overpowered invincible perks, plus the clear signs of greedy monetization.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing a desire for a more robust narrative experience akin to traditional Resident Evil titles. Critics argue that the limited maps and lack of engaging content detract from the overall story, while some appreciate the multiplayer elements but feel they overshadow the narrative focus. Overall, players are calling for a return to a more story-driven format, emphasizing the need for co-op missions and richer storytelling to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “Personally, I enjoy Resident Evil for a number of reasons, not just the storyline of the games (which is also amazing).”
- “From a personal point of view, the Resident Evil platform should stay in its own single-player storytelling environment; it would be really nice to see their glory in the RE engine, and give us some online co-op elements if that fits the case.”
- “In my opinion, Resident Evil is one of those games that builds up on its story, and if you take this out, you are left with a soulless game like this one.”
- “But go ahead, keep pumping out this half-baked PvP slop for your narrative-focused, story-driven franchise.”
- “Stop using this tactic of lumping the main game with some horrible PvP multiplayer to justify the main game's price, and instead give us what we actually want - a longer story game with more content or at least co-op, where we actually work together to survive.”
