Resident Evil:<\/strong> Village<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>or\u00a0Resident Evil 8<\/strong><\/em> is the\u00a0next main game in the series. While it has been announced by Capcom and could answer some burning questions about the Resident Evil<\/em> series<\/a>, it is not available yet to the public. But there was a copycat on Steam trying to fool people into thinking it was the real deal come early.<\/p>\n

Developer Forest Games released a game called Biohazard Village<\/em> on Steam as one of two titles to it name. The game bears a lot of resemblance to the\u00a0RE\u00a0<\/em>series – in theory.\u00a0It was described on Steam as\u00a0\u201cPeople turned into zombies. There is only you, your weapon and a huge number of zombies in the post-apocalyptic village. You must win to survive.<\/em>\u201d Sounds like the basic premise of some RE<\/em> titles, though it is missing the leaked Resident Evil Village<\/em> medieval zombies in armor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The copycat Biohazard Village\u00a0<\/em>went up on Tuesday, September 2, 2020 and was taken down the same day. It may have cut a little too close to the original, sporting almost a pixel-by-pixel copy of the\u00a0Village\u00a0<\/em>logo, even down to the Roman numerals used to make the “Vill” part of\u00a0Village<\/em>.\u00a0As fans of the series know, in\u00a0Japan, the\u00a0Resident Evil\u00a0<\/em>series is called “BioHazard<\/em>.” It didn’t even seem like the developers of this were trying to hide that they had tried to copy the much-anticipated unreleased\u00a0Resident Evil 8<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

While its other title, called\u00a0Panic Station<\/em>, still remains on Steam,\u00a0Biohazard Village\u00a0<\/em>has been removed, most likely because of the flagrant use of Capcom’s Resident Evil 8 Village<\/em><\/a> property. The game, which cost about $1.19 USD, was purchased by a handful of people, some of whom were streamers, so the game isn’t completely erased from the internet.<\/p>\n

The gameplay is everything gamers could hope for in a knockoff, low-budget, B-version of an AAA title. The graphics are wonky and unstable, the zombies are comical, and the ammo is unlimited. The story follows a young woman with no background (or name) that is stuck in a very dark house while zombies invade, hoping to eat her brains. One thing it did get right was reliving all those times that Resident Evil<\/em> tried to be scary and ended up being funny instead<\/a>. Here’s a Let’s Play of the\u00a0Biohazard Village\u00a0<\/em>in all its glory:<\/p>\n
