On the go resident evil
Thu Sep 26 2024 Somekid980I’ll admit that I was skeptical about this, how would this even work? Is my phone going to feel like a volcano?
Well yes, it does when I play re7 and sometimes the game lags a bit from the areas that have to be loaded in, which I don't know how that works considering I have re7 on performance and it's on the lowest resolution. But it's resident evil, ON THE GO! I have to expect some technical and performance issues because I'm playing it on my phone. Even with all the negativity I said, it is such a shame that I can't have all my DLCs from Xbox transferred over here because I would love to play some Jack’s 55th birthday right now. In general, the game plays well considering the expected performance issues and it's a miracle how the people at Capcom and others ported this to Apple. Quite a feat.
Fan-Tucking-Fastic Job Capcom
Tue Jul 02 2024 .. - / --. --- --- -..Very good horror game that you can now play on the go, that’s really cool. RE Village has been out for over half a year on iPhone/iPad/Mac but this is still really impressive. I also like how Capcom isn’t just porting the game 1 for 1 and instead adding menu’s you can use with touch controls without having to use the virtual controllers, great quality of life improvement over RE Village. My only real complaints are that the auto iCloud syncing is a bit bugged, but the manual works just fine, and the lack of in depth graphical changes like in RE Village that let you choose what you want to be higher res or lower. It also doesn’t have an FPS limiter where I can set it to be 30, 60, 120, or variable like RE Village which I’d like to see added. Oh yeah and turn off the motion blur, its insane how disorienting it is. The game is very stable as well, barely if any frame drops in my few hours playing from 60 FPS and no crashes. One bug I did see was the same cutscene lip syncing problem that was prevalent in RE Village, specifically on iPhone, and Mia’s hair bugging out occasionally.
All in all it’s great value for only $20, very impressive, very scary atmosphere, gonna play the whole thing 100%.
Runs flawless- they’ve done it again except….
Thu Sep 12 2024 Crf1096Runs flawlessly and is a true joy to play. Would be well worth the $20….. if you didn’t demand constant internet connection to play a single player horror game. Makes a true mobile port feel like a cheap gimmick. Can’t play it while traveling anymore, can’t play it in dead zones anymore, can’t play it if the WiFi cuts out. This was my go to game series while traveling, but I’ll have to find another. You guys really dropped the ball on this one, big time. I’m honestly embarrassed to have recommended this game series to as many people as I did. Didn’t anybody learn anything from Xbox’s blunder with the Xbox one announcement? NOBODY wants single player games to require an internet connection, and that goes triple for mobile gaming. It’s in the name. “Mobile.” Makes Capcom feel like a whole different company. Where they felt to me before like the company that would push to make ports and experiences to bring joy to their consumers, now they just feel like another generic big corp making things as anti-consumer as possible for the extra dollar. Feels like I don’t even own this game, since Capcom won’t even trust us to play games we paid for. It leaves me feeling slimy that I recommended them to anybody. Went from one of your biggest fans, to someone who won’t be buying another Capcom game anytime in the future. Do better or get out.
Horrid graphics, NOT free
Sun Aug 25 2024 PracticerLet me first say: I sometimes can understand when a company or individual sets the price for an app to $0.00 not as a way to provide the app for free but to allow customers to get an actual feel for the app before putting down money. However, the way they do it for Resident Evil 7 is messed up. Listed as "Free" on the App Store, their website and in other places but it's NOT free. They let you play up to the first chapter then you HAVE TO pay.
Secondly, the graphics on this game are so incredibly bad. Like, the resolution is surprisingly good (inanimate objects appear very clear) but the people in this game... they remind me of Chuck E Cheese's band -- signing on stage, their mouths moving in complete disconnection to any words being said.
I gave this game 2 stars because it's actually VERY scary, at least for me. I don't play these kinds of games often and it had me shakin in my boots. I'd play the game if it wasn't free, but not before they fix those graphics. I can't stand watching a character with their mouth randomly moving up and down, teeth showing, no facial expressions, staring into the game's "camera", exclaiming things like "we've gotta get out of here!!!".
A Superb Game
Thu Feb 20 2025 JLiBI have played the Resident Evil series since it debuted in 1996, and I have loved it as the years have gone by. I feel Capcom lost their way a bit in the middle, post RE4, and I played RE Zero; suffice it to say, I loved those older games.
That is what makes this a conundrum for me: this is such a good game, and it fits into the series so very well. I know it was released as a VR game initially, but this version does not suffer due to that fact. This is a brilliant, impactful playing experience, and it now rates above the old releases for me, even the remakes.
Somehow, the series has been brought into the present with aplomb and flair, and it runs so well on Apple hardware, these games are fluid and gorgeous. As an old stalwart, I actually think the next installment, Resident Evil Village, is even better, and it is spectacular on modern Apple devices. I must have played through both of these ten times, uncovering every nook and cranny, enjoying every moment. To do this on my Mac was previously unheard of.
Don't hesitate to buy this game, or RE Village, they are honestly amazing. The only thing that would make this a perfect ten for me would have been the implementation of a third person mode, but I understand, again, RE 7 was originally intended to be a VR experience. It translates to the flat screen incredibly well.
Thank you Apple and Capcom for bringing these treasures to us. Please continue, I am happy to pay for these superlative games.
AWESOME But GLITCHES…
Fri Oct 17 2025 Jackplays2This game is REALLY GOOD, I played days worth of time, Well over 50 times, IMO, The games insanely fun, But there are some glitches along the way that make the game feel.. A bit weird??
Like Mia’s hair glitching in the cell (ik this the re engine stuff but like cmon), Some weapons clipping through walls like the axe, Climbing the ladder to the greenhouse after Marguerite’s pit fight sending you back a few steps, ETC. I tried out the free dlc that came with it and it worked perfectly, 10/10 DLC, 9/10 base game. Overall if you wanna travel and hop on some resident evil, Then you should definitely get this since I’m pretty sure you don’t need internet to actually start it up!
Excellent game!
Thu Nov 27 2025 kdbisnnksI actually bought this game on Steam, but I didn't want to play it on my computer; I wanted to play it while lying on the sofa. Thanks to the porting team for making my wish come true. The game runs stably, my phone doesn't get hot much, and it includes all the content from the PC version. I played through all the content using a controller. Its downside is that it's not optimized for touchscreen players. If I use my fingers, it's very uncomfortable. I hope the development team can do more optimization for touchscreen players instead of just putting a bunch of buttons on it. I look forward to more excellent games coming to iOS. Keep it up!
Refresh Purchase?
Sun Sep 22 2024 BlipplingIf i could return my his life would. I enjoy the game and its a good way to get through cardio or long flights and now i have to not only refesh my purchase every time i boot up the games (re7,4,and village) but it won't work if I'mnor connected to the internet. If we buy a game especially paying between $20-40 we should own it and not have refresh the purchase or wait for internet when its already on my phone. I hope capcom resolves this, it’s very annoying
