![]() I’d honestly recommend just leaving the 3D effect off. For whatever reason, the blood effect on this screen overlaps itself in bizarre ways, and ends up creating a very disorienting (and frankly sickening) effect. I’m a big fan of the paper cut-out look of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy‘s 3D effect, but for some reason, it doesn’t quite work here, especially with Wrong End and game over screens. Of course, being released on the 3DS, you’d expect some 3D elements as well, but these are minor. The aforementioned scene art is 3D, and by and large the 3D effect isn’t amazing. Oh, and to top it off, there’s some new Extra Chapters and Wrong Ends. Newly remixed music tracks join the original score to my delight, and a new backlog to scan through dialogue text is a very welcome addition. New animation has been added to a few key moments (for instance, a hanging body in a bathroom stall now sways back and forth while it was only a simple static image on PSP), and small details have been upgraded – an example of this is a ghostly face that appears in a cabinet has been completely remade. The changes are a wonderfully welcome treat as a returning player, and even the scene artwork has received a few minor alterations as well. The PSP version looked remarkably muddy, but now all of the characters are easily identifiable and have a wide array of anime-styled emotions that can be seen animated on their tiny chibi faces. Better yet, the game receives a fresh coat of paint on 3DS, making this arguably the definitive version to play.Īll of the sprites have been completely redone to better reflect the character artwork, and they are overall much more detailed and expressive. Corpse Party pulls out every stop, and there simply doesn’t seem to be anything that’s off limits for this game it only gets worse as you press on through the five chapter main story, in addition to more than a dozen extra chapters to fill in the gaps. I doubt you’d ever have expected to read a detailed description of what it feels like to eat your best friend alive and feel their blood quench your thirst and fill your empty stomach on a Nintendo platform. We follow a group of a dozen or so high school students who practice a charm meant to seal their friendship together for all time. Unfortunately, it goes about as wrong as it could, and they’re transported into the Closed Spaces an Otherworld/Upsidedown type nightmare world fashioned after an abandoned elementary school with a violent history. There is no escape from this place, and the cast of previously goofy and typical anime characters are soon thrust into one of the most grueling and demented horror stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of being scared by.Ĭopious amounts of blood and gore, chilling “Wrong Ends” that see the main characters killed in a variety of disturbing ways, and much, much worse drench this title in a heavy aura that simply cannot be matched. The rug is pulled out from under you in a way that very few other horror games have had the bravery to attempt. If you’ve never played a Corpse Party title before, you’re in for one hell of an unexpected ride, as the cutesy chibi sprites and decidedly weeb opening hour or so lull you into a false sense of security. This is its first physical release in the west as well! I’m very happy to report that this version of Corpse Party Blood Covered may be the best yet! While the game has been available for years on PSP (and subsequently Vita), with an arguably inferior version released on Steam earlier this year, it’s awesome that it’s now available to even more players. Corpse Party, one of my favorite horror games in recent memory, has finally graced Nintendo’s 3DS handheld.
