Resident Evil Survival Unit

You don’t just shoot zombies in Resident Evil Survival Unit, you outthink them. Set in a crumbling city where every block is crawling with the infected, Capcom’s legendary horror franchise trades fixed-camera corridors for smart grid-based combat and base-building strategy. And somehow, it works.

At the center of the chaos is you, holed up in an abandoned mansion, scraping together survivors and trying not to get eaten alive. But instead of running and gunning, you’re deploying three operatives onto five-position maps, each with specific skills, cooldowns, and just enough HP to make every move feel like a gamble. Do you pull Claire back behind the barrier, or leave her exposed to pop that Licker? Every decision is a ticking time bomb, hesitate, and you’ll lose your team.

The strategy runs deep. Need a tank? Jill can hold the front line while Leon mops up flanks. Want tech over brawn? There’s a whole tree of operatives and loadouts to experiment with. And when you’re not fending off waves of the undead, you’re upgrading your mansion HQ, unlocking new defenses, and deciding whether to ally with, or fight against, other survivor factions on the overworld map.

But the crown jewel? The Flare Gun mechanic. Pull the trigger and pray for a Legendary. Just don’t expect mercy from the RNG gods.

Resident Evil Survival Unit is brutal, brainy, and deeply replayable. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the franchise or just love sweaty tactical showdowns, this tower defense hybrid is more than just fan service, it’s a masterclass in survival strategy.
