What are the new games Capcom has put on Steam?
In case you’re unfamiliar with these newly-available Steam games, let’s break them down, starting with Resident Evil. Resident Evil (1996) is an iconic survival horror game set in the Spencer Mansion, where a group of operatives investigate the disappearance of their fellow colleagues. The reason behind their disappearance? Zombies, of course.
In Resident Evil 2 (1998), players step into the shoes of rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy, who has to fight to survive a spreading zombie infection in Raccoon City. Resident Evil 3 (1999) is also set in Raccoon City, and follows a returning protagonist of the first game: Jill Valentine.
Breath of Fire IV, on the other hand, belongs to an entirely separate franchise. The widely-beloved RPG follows a young man named Ryu who can transform into dragons, and must fight an immortal emperor from destroying civilisation.
