Zombie survival masterpiece “Evil Castle 4” (Resident Evil 4; RE:4) continues to bring good news. The game has exceeded 3 million sets of sales in just two days since its release on the 24th, and it has also established the 2005 4th generation classic. Status, and more inspired Capcom’s (Capcom) classic remake line is unstoppable.
according toCapcom official news“Evil Castle 4” has exceeded 3 million sales worldwide in two days since its release on March 24. At the same time, it is announced that by the end of 2022, the cumulative sales volume of the series since the first generation of “Evil Castle” will reach 135 million million sets.
In fact, the popularity of “Evil Castle 4” is not groundless, because it is clear from the number of players who are online at the same time on Steam. The remake of “Evil Castle 4” has achieved the highest online peak value of 168,000.
This number is the highest simultaneous online peak of the “Evil Castle” series on Steam, surpassingThe remake of “Evil Castle 3” received 60,000“Evil Castle 2” remake 74,000, and “Evil Castle 8” peaked at 106,000 at that time.
Dreaming back to 2005, “Evil Castle 4” was a highly acclaimed action game in the PS2 era. Leon S. Kennedy’s wonderful action performance in the 4th generation laid the foundation for the success of the sequels and animations of “Evil Castle” in the future.
The 1st to 3rd generations of “Evil Castle” described the tragedy of Rakun City, and the 4th generation brought a new development under the collapse of the umbrella company. Leon became a secret agent directly under the president. He was secretly trained for many years and was ordered to come to Spain searches for and rescues the missing president’s daughter, and the enemies players face are no longer zombies without thinking ability, but living people… Well, strictly speaking, these villagers are not going to be human anymore.
Therefore, in “Evil Castle 4”, there is an extremely tense village siege battle. Leon uses roundregarding kicks and knives to beat the chainsaw man, and also faces giants and undead monsters infected by the holy insects. These classics are recreated in the remake After packaging, it will be displayed with better operation and graphics.
In fact, the keyboard and mouse performance of the remake of “Evil Castle 4” on the PC platform completely inherits the smooth operation experience of “Evil Castle 8”. Skills (rear axle throw, knife parry), or Ashley’s bust size.
Although compared with other survival shooting games on the market, “Evil Castle 4” still retains the rather rigid mechanism in the past in terms of combat. In the setting where there is no way to jump or shovel freely, the overall performance of Leon in the game It’s still pretty good, you can basically play a cold-blooded killer with fancy gun cutting, just like the performance of the famous camera operator “Sunhi Legend”.

Since there is a handsome Leon, naturally a despicable Leon is also indispensable.
Not long following the game was launched, many players have already shared that they use various traps or fixed mechanisms to deal with enemies, and they can even kill enemies first before triggering cutscenes to avoid subsequent rampages. In fact, even the siege of the villagers in the first chapter can be forcibly ended by ringing the church bell.
This kind of flexible gameplay allows the current player community to fully enjoy the fun of the remake of “Evil Castle 4”, whether it is an old player who is familiar with the past 2005 version, or a new player who is experiencing the 2023 remake for the first time. Everyone can understand why Leon has the title of “the man with a high salary”.
In addition, the pirate shooting in this work is also an interesting challenge, which can be regarded as a level for players to kill time and draw capsule accessories.
Of course, just like the previous remake works, various audio-visual experiments regarding “Evil Castle 4” have started on the Internet, such as throwing eggs at NPCs, or whether to kill NPCs and other experiments.
When players start to explore the various possibilities of the game, it is proof that the game community is active and popular.
“Evil Castle 4” brings a plot of 16 chapters. Leon can also unlock a variety of styles of weapons, and even an infinite rocket launcher that allows players to crush enemies all the way. I believe that for fans who love the past 4 generations, the remake It can be said to be a brand new upgrade experience, and the follow-up updates are also exciting (and Mod).
“Evil Castle 4 Remake” was launched on March 24, and received overwhelming praise on Steam. If PC players want to install interesting mods, they can go to Nexusmods Forum reference.
