THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.1.0 Update

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Makeover is a game remake which is a remade version of the game released in 1997 in the arcade platform. The classic rail-shooter arcade game is revamped with a whole new group of characters and gameplay changes to suit modern gaming demands.

GAMEPLAY

The House of the Dead is a rail shooter light gun game. Players use a light gun (or mouse, in the PC version) to aim and shoot at approaching zombies. The characters’ pistols use magazines that hold 6 rounds; players reload by shooting away from the screen. When a player sustains damage or shoots a civilian, one point of health is removed. The continue screen appears when all health is lost.

If the player runs out of continues, the game is over. First-aid packs are available throughout the game which restores one point of health; some can be obtained from rescued hostages, while others are hidden inside certain breakable objects. Special items can be found within other breakables, granting a bonus to the player who shoots them. The player can earn additional health at the end of each level based on the number of hostages rescued.

Throughout the game, players are faced with numerous situations in which their actions (or inaction) will affect the direction of gameplay. This is exemplified in the opening stage of the game when a hostage is about to be thrown from the bridge to his death.

If the player saves the hostage, they will enter the house directly through the front door; however, if the player fails to rescue the hostage, the character is redirected to an underground route through the sewers. Players can score additional points by shooting enemies in the head, rescuing hostages, and finding hidden items.
