My stance on Umbrella Corps is it's a lot more fun with friends that I expected. I honestly kind of expected to dislike it, and it doesn't give the best first impression, but when you begin to learn its mechanics and get into it, it can become surprisingly fun. It's kind of like an arcade shooter multiplayer game with a Resident Evil skin and some jankiness. I don't know why I think arcade, just something about the whole game reminds me of arcade games, it has a certain addicting but fun but challenging side to it.
Buuuuut I'm completely fine with it failing. On one hand I kind of wish it did a bit better so it got a bit more support than just the Typewriter mode, the dark levels, and the RE1 Mansion and RE6 china stages, but on the other hand while I'm fine with it as a one-off I don't really need a sequel or anything nor is this specifically what I want from the series. I'd rather they put resources elsewhere honestly.
But I admit when it goes dirt cheap one day I'm buying a few copies for friends and just going to play with them for a few days, it is actually a really fun 'group of friends' multiplayer game to me, and can be fun with randoms even (just I found it to be more fun with friends).
