Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 171 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (1,251 of 1,408 positive).
A few players find the puzzles obscure and the game unforgiving without a guide. [1][2]

It first hit me the teacher was introduce as a chibi drawing, but as the game continue something as boot up the 3DS and PSP versions because something was off. Sure enough art was remove from this version which you was left using your imagination on what was happening with Wrong Endings and key moments. This was very censored and I was hoping of having every game finally at the same place instead across multi …

I recommend Corpse Party but I DON'T RECOMMEND this version. You want Corpse Party (2021). It has full Japanese voice acting, detailed CGs and much more polish. This version of the game (2016) is a port of the 2008 reboot of the 1996 game. The (2021) is a port of the 2010 PSP Version Bloodcovered: Repeated Fear.

Corpse Party is a survival and psychological horror adventure game about a group of students in a Japanese high school, who perform a friendship ritual after class to bid a friend farewell who's going to be transferring schools. After performing the friendship ritual, they are thrown into a hellish and mind-breaking alternative reality that they want to escape from, together. It is a 10/10 game and it's …

The pixel art may look dated, but most of the horror comes from what you can't see anyway. The sound design does a lot of the heavy lifting, and after a while you start getting nervous over basically nothing. "No way I'm dying here, right?" I died there.

I recommend Corpse Party with some caveats. Pros: - Old school RPG Maker horror fun - Music is boppin' - Creepy atmosphere - Fun and engaging story Cons: - Overly detailed gore, to the point where it feels more immature than horror. - Scenes that I can only imagine are weird fetish fan service inserted into this game arbitrarily: - Incest - Way too much time focused on a girl having to pee - An entire conversation …

85% of the 171 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Corpse Party. The complaint that keeps coming up: this version lacks content compared to the 2021 remake. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Corpse Party has been largely well-received by critics, especially following the PlayStation Portable release of the game. Writing for Electronic Gaming Monthly, Mollie L. Patterson praised the character work in the game, describing a "small wave of panic and despair" she felt over the central group of characters, whom she originally described as a "who's who of Japanese anime stereotypes." Along with Marko Djordjević from GameSpot and Kimberley Wallace from GamesRadar+, Patterson specifically praised the game's audio design, describing a specific sequence in the game in which gruesome audio is used in place of visuals to disturb the player. Concurring, Ryan Clements from IGN wrote that he…

Only played the 3DS game so far but I love the edgelord, melodrama horror story. Dark, violent, trashy fun, and apparently only goes more off the rails in future games!

negative · AI labelView post →This game and Corpse Party 2021 are the same game. Yes the newer version is like the "remastered" version. Somethings are in slighter different spots and so on. I am not writing a review for comparison but more so on this game. This game is a work of art. The story line seems straight forward, but has some lovely plot twists. I have replayed it twice now (100% completion each time) and still love it. Keep in mind: -It DOES follow the same frame work as the anime (can be found in sub on…

I wouldn’t call it my favorite game by any measure, and it does have some issues, but despite that, it was a good time.

It has much less cut-scenes from there, sound effects, images, it has much worse sprite quality, and PSP version was released 6 YEARS BEFORE THAT. I would definitely buy the game if it was more expensive, if that would mean re-using those sprites, cut-scenes and images. Really…

The only reason I'm marking this as "not recommended" is because the 2021 version is probably what you want if you're looking for the "definitive" experience. If you're like me and playing through everything in this series for some reason, though, definitely worth a go, just be prepared for some jank. Having played the original (the Rebuilt version, at least), I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the remake/reboot story. With how much it adds,…
