Resident Evil Survival Unit: Between expectation and disappointment, is it truly 'Resident Evil'?As a fan of tactical RPGs, I had high expectations for 'Resident Evil Survival Unit,' but the actual gameplay has been met with disappointment. While the early stages evoked nostalgia for classic 'Resident Evil,' it ultimately devolved into a typical resource management gacha game, losing its inherent fun. Can this game truly meet the expectations of its fans?
1. 🤔 Expectations and Experiences with Gacha Games: Focusing on 'Persona 5 Phantom X'
· As a player who enjoys the tactical RPG genre, I had high hopes when 'Resident Evil Survival Unit' was announced.
· While I don't particularly favor gacha games, I have experience playing several in the past, including 'Captain Tsubasa Dream Team,' 'KonoSuba Fantastic Days,' and 'Persona 5 Phantom X.'
· 'Persona 5 Phantom X,' in particular, seemed to offer many in-depth activities similar to the main series, but ultimately showed the limitations of a typical gacha game where you had to pay or grind repeatedly to get stronger when encountering tough enemies in certain sections.
· Through these experiences, I've grown skeptical of the patience-demanding gameplay style of gacha games.

3. 📉 Disappointing Gameplay: Degeneration into a Typical Resource Management Gacha Game
· After the tutorial, the game transforms from 'Raccoon City' into a mansion management game.
· Various areas of the mansion need to be repaired and upgraded, which involves tapping the screen and waiting a long time or using crystals for instant completion.
· Various facilities like the heliport, barn, and workshop must be leveled up to a certain point to progress to the next stage, leading to an endless cycle of requiring other facilities to be leveled up.
· The action part of defending the base from zombies proceeds with characters automatically firing, with almost no direct player intervention.
· Ultimately, 'Resident Evil Survival Unit' is a typical gacha game focused on resource management and menu manipulation, failing to deliver the inherent survival horror or tactical fun of 'Resident Evil.'
· The game has been criticized for lacking challenges, being boring, and amounting to nothing more than repeatedly tapping the screen.

4. 🎮 Final Review of 'Resident Evil Survival Unit'
· The developers (Joy City Corporation, Aniplex) initially showed mechanisms from existing 'Resident Evil' games, raising players' expectations, but this was merely a temporary deception.
· The exploration elements are very short, and the core of the game focuses on base management and fortification.
· This game offers no challenges whatsoever, and players are bound to feel bored with nothing to do but tap the screen.
· It is far from the true 'Resident Evil' experience that fans expect and serves as an example of the limitations of the typical gacha game market.
