The game is characterized as a “real-time strategy venture optimized for mobile devices.”
Here’s the official description:
“Resident Evil: Survival Unit presents a unique perspective on the cherished franchise, reinterpreting the survival horror realm as a real-time strategy endeavor optimized for mobile devices, iOS and Android. The game aims to attract both devoted fans and newcomers.”
