10 Best Resident Evil Spin-Off Video Games

10. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D

This 3DS exclusive combines the Mercenaries minigame modes from Resident Evil 4 and 5 into a mix ‘n’ match concoction that allows you to play on the go.

The rules of the game are simple; your chosen character is placed on a map with a countdown timer. Waves of enemies will spawn in the map and try their very best to murder you, whilst you score points and a few extra seconds for each on your kill. The aim of the game is to use your pre-assigned arsenal and special combo bonuses to secure the highest possible score before the countdown timer runs out.

It’s a fun mode that many fans of the franchise enjoy playing and the ability to play it on the go is certainly a fun experience. However, this game scores so low because, ultimately, it is just the minigames from two main series entries put together and, understandably, some fans might feel a little ripped off paying full price to play content they’ve previously played.
