About this game
Capcom's 2005 game, not the 2023 remake, in which an agent goes into rural Spain after a kidnapped girl and finds the village under the control of a cult. The camera sits behind Leon's shoulder and closes in when he raises a gun, in place of the fixed angles the older games used. Every firearm has a laser sight, so you aim at a knee to drop somebody or at a hand to knock the weapon out of it. Your inventory is a case with a grid in it, and fitting a rifle in next to the herbs is part of the game. A merchant turns up to buy your treasure and sell you an upgrade. You cannot move while you aim, and that is the rule the whole thing is built on: you pick a spot, you commit to it, and the crowd walking towards you is the timer.
