  Despite the strong story and its interesting characters, the gameplay is very clearly of a game out of time, and so feels out of place on the Switch. It’s difficult to recommend, especially to newcomers, but fans of the franchise may find good reasons to visit, even if for nostalgia alone.

  As sad as I am to say that Corpse Party: Blood Drive doesn’t end with quite the fervor that I’ve come to expect from the series at this point, I absolutely would not count it out. Sure, the gameplay itself leaves a bit to be desired, but the story—you know, the thing that really matters in a game like this—should be more than enough to draw in pre-existing fans. The first saga of the Corpse Party series may be over, but if the games so far are anything to go by, Corpse Party still has a very bright future ahead of itself.

  The game also handles just fine on PC as the controls easily map to a keyboard. Using the “WASD” keys to move in a 3D space is slightly less precise than an analog stick, so players might run into a few traps if they aren’t moving cautiously, but it isn’t much of an issue once a player gets used to the control scheme. Overall, it’s an excellent port for a game that wasn’t designed with PC in mind when it was originally developed.

  Corpse Party: Blood Drive had the makings of being one of the all time greats for the PS Vita but technical problems prevent the game from achieving that goal. But if you can look past the problems, there's a fantastic story that's there for long time Corpse Party fans.

  There were also the inclusion of EX chapters that filled in gaps in the story, and while short, its existence served the story and characters well. While not exactly the swan song to send this tragedy off to the ever after in satisfaction, fans that have kept up with this cult favorite will be pleased to see how it all plays out.

  While the technical issues and underwhelming plot points bring it down, Corpse Party: Blood Drive is still a welcome addition to the franchise and an acceptable end to the Heavenly Host storyline.  Longtime fans won't want to skip this.
