The mobile version of the Resident Evil installment comes with intuitive context sensitive Multi-Touch controls and also offers high-resolution 3D graphics. Through the new location based damage system, players can deal some serious damage. They can either shoot enemies in their leg or hit them with a direct head shot for an instant kill.

The chilling story begins six years after the complete devastation of Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy who is an U.S. agent is out on a mission to save the President’s daughter Ashley Graham. His leads take him to a Spanish-speaking village located in Europe where he must fend off against savage inhabitants. These villagers are noted to be associated with the Los Illuminados cult which is also responsible for kidnapping of the President’s daughter.
