Unless you just gotta crawl fast
Curiosity has gotten the better of me. I’m among the less than 70 people on PC currently playingUmbrella Corps, Capcom’s fast-crawling multiplayer-centric take onResident Evilthat saw a commercial release for some reason. That’s sub-70 players, despite aSteam free weekendhappening right now.
And that’s no fluke. According toSteamDB— which isn’t perfectly accurate but isaccurate enoughfor this sort of thing — the all-time peak forUmbrella Corpsis 421 simultaneous players. 421. The hell?
I’d expect a low figure like that for an under-the-radar multiplayer-only indie title shortly after release, not this year’s one new, non-re-releaseResident Evilgame (even if it is an obviously lower-appeal spin-off). Like, we know it’sa bad gameby any standard, but it’s also kind of funny.Unintentionally, I mean. I assumed it would have gotten more sympathy-laugh plays, if nothing else. Guess not!
Anyway,Umbrella Corpsis free to download and roll around in until Sunday at 12:00pm Pacific. I should’ve listened to Zack and scrolled right on past it, but didn’t. Now you can do the same.
I wonder if there’s a similar post in store forMetal Gear Survivenext year.
