Corpse Party: Blood Drive

"No way I'm going back to Heavenly Host again, right?" I did. This time in 3D. It brings the series' main story to a close, but getting to that ending takes a lot longer than you might expect.

It’s depressing when a series you love totally fails to stick the landing. I just finished Corpse Party: Blood Drive, the 3rd and final main continuity Corpse Party game. The 1st one is still a masterpiece. The 2nd one was different since it changed from top-down survival horror to a horror visual novel with 1st-person dungeon crawler-inspired gameplay, but overall is still very very good with the best sound design and some of the best visuals in the series. The 3rd one though… Woof. They went back to survival horror with an overhead-ish view but switched to a chibi 3D style that does nothing at all to capture the creepy atmosphere that the pixel art did. The gameplay is the biggest disappointment: way more forced backtracking, which is made worse by a slow walking speed and the inability to run for more than 10 feet without getting winded; puzzles where you need to know to interact with the same thing multiple times to move on; objects that don’t appear until you trigger something seemingly unrelated, even though you searched that exact spot before. And they way overcomplicated the plot and added at least 2 characters that feel and look like they are from totally different games. …

I've been a fan of the Corpse Party games for a while now, and I must say this one is disappointing. Story: I haven't cleared the entire game yet (Stopped mid chapter 3), but from the moment we met Misuto, I knew this wasn't gonna be as great as the others. Him and almost each new character is crude and give no reason to root for them (except for Aiko). Which wouldn't be a problem if Ayumi didn't blatantly trust him after he did nothing to shed himself in a good light! Aiko is an interesting character and I wanted to know more about her, but Mizuki on the other hand just..no. Not to mention these people are underage somehow??? When we met Aiko I thought she was at least 19, come to find out she's in high school for some reason. This game could've moved nearly exactly the same if Misuto, Mizuki, and Aiko were all adults. Considering they're apart of associations that want the Book of Shadows, there wouldn't be a difficult way to connect them without them conveniently being students. Fanservice is still at an all time high. Mizuki is 16-17 and wears lingere as her "battle suit." From what I've heard, the story ends up being convoluted and stretched too far which I believe. This …

Do they [b]really[/b] want to say that after first two games with actual horror and terror now I have to play an absurd "Save the world adventure"? Man, if you love the characters and original game's spirit, NEVER buy this nonsense, even on sales. Those positive reviews are misleadeaing you... In nutshell, we now have: 1) Stupid ocultism scenario no one even asked for. 2) Weird red sucking goo all over the school which can catch you with its tentacles. 3) All characters suddenly suffering from asthma or heart conditions since they can't run more than 5 meters without some rest. 4) Chibi visuals that shout in your face: 'We Are Kawaii!!!' and destoy any deeprer immersion. 5) The worst ever enemies design... Stolen SH2 Pyramid Head, Fish with big human mouth, Forgettable casual black shadows, a Big Ice Cream with poking million arms from it... etc 6) New introduced characters who look more like My Hero Academia cast rather than Corpse Party. 7) Collectable AA batteries which for some reason can restore your phone flashlight (Do you reckleslly push them inside, Ayumi, or what?) 8) Frustrating Wrong Endings with no feeling of terror or empathy for beloved cast of 5 survivors. 9) Drama…

its definitely the worst entry in the main series, but its funny, so please play it

I LOVE AYUMI!
