BIOHAZARD i SURVIVOR (バイオハザード iサバイバ) was one of the first official mobile games based on the Resident Evil series, developed by Living Mobile and released on 4 June 2001.[2] Along with BIOHAZARD i SURVIVOR', BIOHAZARD Zombie Buster and BIOHAZARD Zombie Shooter were also released in 2001.
The game was developed for players using the Docomo network provider, with access to their i-mode internet service. Therefore, it was accessible only in Japan for 315 yen a month. It's unknown for how long the game was available, but a commercial page of the game was online up to April, 2009.[3]
Gameplay[]
The game works on an experience level system, where the more enemies are defeated in battle the higher a player level will go. At least three stats can be upgraded; them being "attack", "recovery" and "discovery".[4]
Taking advantage of the internet connectivity, i SURVIVOR gamers can partner up and form a "S.T.A.R.S. team" with other players, but the number of partners a player has is limited to their experience level, increasing over time.[4] Players could share information to solve puzzles cooperatively and share weaponry or specific items such green herbs.[5]
As the game was online-based, new levels would feature in the game every week.[6]
Plotline[]
The game takes place during the Raccoon City outbreak, apparently taking in consideration the events of the first Resident Evil and ignoring the events of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. As it introduces new S.T.A.R.S. members who were never heard from again in later installments, this game is not canon for the mainstream continuity.
Cast[]
Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine and Leon Kennedy were featured along with a cast of five new S.T.A.R.S. members.[7]
Image | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Frank | One of the three initially playable S.T.A.R.S. members. During the game, he was a good choice for close-range combat and the use of assault rifles. | |
Kay | One of the three initially playable S.T.A.R.S. members. During the game, she was a good choice for medium-range combat and the use of pistols. | |
Al | One of the three initially playable S.T.A.R.S. members. He is a S.T.A.R.S. sniper, much like Forest Speyer. During the game, he was a good choice for long-range combat and the use of sniper rifles. | |
Anna | She is a S.T.A.R.S. nurse along with Rebecca Chambers. During the game, she was able to make a good use of health items. | |
Kentaro | He is a S.T.A.R.S. member responsible for technical support on operations. During the game, he was a good character for exploration. |
Marketing[]
BIOHAZARD i SURVIVOR appeared at the Spring 2001 Tokyo Game Show as part of Capcom's effort to advertise its Capcom Park online mobile gaming store. Audiences were able to play the game at the booth.[8] In January 2002 the game featured in a promotional event by Capcom, wherein players would participate in a lottery to win a 1000 yen Docomo top-up card; there were to be 10 winners each month until the campaign's conclusion.[6]
