How to Play RE:Verse
Starting the game
Press start after downloading the game and adjust the brightness to your preference. From there, you can start with the tutorial or head to the main menu. We highly recommended playing the tutorial, as it can help you get familiar with the controls and how the game works.
Options Menu (Optional)
Check the Options first and configure the settings to your preference. Changing to your preferred game settings can help you do better in a match or even win.
Best Gameplay Settings
Character Selection
See the best characters for your playstyle by reading their stats and skills first before heading into a match. After picking a character, start matchmaking and start battling against other players!
It is also recommended to read through each Bioweapon's skills and stats to familiarize yourself with them.
Match Rules
Points System
The winners (1st through 3rd place are pictured) of the match are determined by their final score when the match timer ends. You can earn points by killing your enemies in the area and earn more by killing them consecutively in a short time. However, you will lose points each time you get killed, so be careful to balance out your kill to death ratio!
Free for All Match
Everyone is your enemy. Hunt them down and kill them to gain points in a match within a 5 minute time limit. Co-op multiplayer and team play are not available, but they may become available in future updates.
Death System
You will be starting as your selected character in a match. Once you die, you will transform into a bioweapon, making you invincible for a few seconds and giving you more chances to kill enemies and earn points. The bioweapon you'll turn into will depend on how many Virus Capsule you can get around the area.
You will respawn as your character again after your bioweapon health gauge runs out. The health gauge runs out slowly over time and when you take damage.
Combat Guide
Combat Guide for Humans
Dodging and Evading
Dodging and evading enemies will help you survive the fight longer. Use it when your the attack is about to land to avoid taking damage. It can also be a useful to when you need to create some space between a faster enemy. Dodging consumes stamina, so make sure to use it only when necessary.
Skills
Characters have unique skills that give them great tools to use in a match. They're most effective against bioweapons, making it a great defense against them while in human form. Don't hesitate to use them, especially when you're getting cornered by your enemies.
Aim for the Head
When shooting, always target the enemies' head as it deal tons of damage against them. Just be careful while aiming for it slows you down, making you vulnerable for attacks, especially against bioweapons.
Take Virus Capsules
Try and get Virus Capsules around the area to get a powerful bioweapon when you die. The more Virus Capsules in your possession (up to 2 max), the stronger the bioweapon you will get.
Recover Ammo and Health
Roam around the area and search for ammo boxes and Green Herbs, as they can help you survive longer in battle. Green Herbs will restore your character's health and ammo boxes will replenish your personal weapon ammunition. Those items are usually inside the rooms on the map. They also randomly spawn around the area, so keep your eyes peeled for them!
Combat Guide for Bioweapons
Hunt Enemies as much as possible
When you transform into a bioweapon, make sure to hunt down your enemies, as your health will gradually lose over time. Make the most out of your remaining health to earn points and take Revenge on the one that killed you to gain extra points.
Special Skills
Always use Special Skills to knock down and kill enemies in the area. Some of the bioweapons have slow durability and mobility, so make use of your Active Skills to kill enemies before they can escape.
Heat Vision
All bioweapons have heat vision that can help them track everyone in the area. Make good use of that to hunt down enemies and catch them as they come around corners.
Items and Effects
Green Herbs
Green Herbs will let you recover some of your lost health in a match. They spawn randomly around the area, so make sure to roam while watching for enemies. Get Green Herbs and regain health your health to stay in the fight longer!
Virus Capsule
The Virus Capsule is a special item you can get around the area while in a battle. Once your character's HP reaches zero, you will transform into a bioweapon. The number of Virus Capsules you have will determine its strength.
Ammo Boxes
Obtain ammo for your Personal Weapons by picking up ammo boxes in the area. Personal Weapons deal more damage against enemies, and they can help you earn points faster in the battle.
Special Weapons
You can also get Special Weapons while in a match. They can damage or even instantly kill any enemy that gets hit. Try and find them around the area to increase your combat capabilities and earn more points.
