Navigating your way through what appears to be the hallways of an abandoned hospital by torchlight provides that classic feel that we associate with this IP.
I really appreciated the clear Silent Hill feel and look that was present in this. This with the clear reticule in the middle of the screen and the presence of the directional pad when the screen is touched makes is for an easy play, much easier than I would have expected for a title like this as mobile games tend to get a nasty rep. There is a little map in the corner, a bullet count and the reload function in the others. So the user interface and heads up display for the game are prevalent yet they have also been minimised to account for the super small screen. All that being said, the responsiveness and general gameplay was by no means perfect. Rushing this can be the difference between success and game over. Shootings just tapping the screen but while reloading, you have to use the motion control to align the reticule with the chamber to properly reload. Movement is by dragging your finger in conjunction with the camera angles. Whether that’s movement, firing your weapon and even reloading which by itself proves as a sort of little mini game. The player controls the rest of the game through the touch screen. It’s like playing Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in VR but way, way cheaper. This adds an interesting and engrossing element of immersion that is akin to Virtual Reality. There are a few things that make the gameplay as good as it is and the biggest thing for me is the fact you tilt the device to move the camera perspective.
Instinctively you may think this game would be garbage but it actually wants too bad. Pull out your phone and download Silent Hill: The Escape by Konami for an interesting switch of platform for the horror genre. Ever wanted to play a Silent Hill game on your phone? Well now you can.
