Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles - Gameplay

Gameplay

The Darkside Chronicles is a rail shooter. The player's partner is seen on screen during gameplay and there is an evade move.

There were also some gameplay changes from The Umbrella Chronicles; for example, head shots were made easier for players to perform and a status screen was implemented. The players health bars are now separate, players can pick up and use Green Herbs to replenish their health meter at the push of a button. However there is only one First Aid spray per-chapter and it is automatically used when the players health meter hits zero, completely replenishing both health meters at the same time. Players can now customize each of their weapons from Power, Rate of Fire, Capacity, Reload Speed & Stopping Power. The Handgun is now fully customizable as well. The game automatically adjusts its difficulty, depending on the players' skill level. Other new features include online leaderboards and a system to tell the players' reticules apart from each other in a co-op session.
