Release Date: April 7, 2022
The House of the Dead: Remake is a refreshed version of the first installment of the cult rail shooter series. Once again, we play as agents Thomas Rogan and G investigating the case of mysterious disappearances and fighting against undead hordes.
The House of the Dead: Remake is a refreshed version of the iconic rail shooter created by SEGA. It was developed by two Polish teams: Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio.
As a classic remake, the new version of The House of the Dead doesn't introduce major changes in the plot of the original. We follow agents Thomas Rogan and G, who are sent to the laboratory of DBR corporation in order to explain the causes of mysterious disappearances of local residents. It quickly turns out that the research of Dr. Curien, who runs the facility, has resulted in a plague of horrors that Thomas and his partner never dreamt of even in their worst nightmares.
The House of the Dead: Remake also remains faithful to the original in terms of gameplay, being a classic example of a rail shooter. The player has no direct control over the protagonist - they can only move the crosshair to shoot the zombies and other monsters created by Curien as quickly as possible. This not only avoids taking damage, but also translates into a higher point score at the end of a stage.
Like most rail shooters, The House of the Dead: Remake offers only one game mode, but with the possibility to play it in co-op mode (or point-based rivalry). Game length is further extended by the presence of several endings.
Although the plot and gameplay have remained essentially unchanged, the Polish developers have modernised other elements of The House of the Dead: Remake, with 3D graphics at the forefront. The developers have also adapted the game's controls to modern standards.

Game Ratings for The House of the Dead: Remake Video Game.
Screen Rant: 2 / 5 by Scott Baird
The same studio that made The House of the Dead: Remake is also working on a remake of its sequel. It would have been better if the team had held off and included the two games in one package, as this would have alleviated the content issues. The issues with the control scheme are harder to solve, as the lack of a lightgun on the Nintendo Switch dampens the experience as a whole. The House of the Dead is an arcade series and any remake or console port needs a decent lightgun to truly emulate the feeling that made the original so special. The House of the Dead: Remake can be fun, but that lack of a decent controller is a problem that holds the whole experience back.
Twinfinite: 2 / 5 by Jake Su
At the end of the day, The House of the Dead: Remake is a modern version of the arcade classic that is serviceable enough for fans looking to play at home. It brings added replayability with its difficulty, the scoring systems, and the new Horde mode, but is held back by poor performance, frustrating controls, and a lack of new content. Unless you are a big fan, The House of the Dead: Remake is not the best way to experience this classic for the first time, and it would have probably been better off dead than revived in this form.
GamingTrend: 70 / 100 by Richard Allen
House of the Dead Remake is a fun, quick romp perfect for a night in with a friend, but will most likely wear out its welcome after a couple of hours. The HD graphics help update the game to the modern era while the addition of unlockable weapons, a horde mode, and multiple difficulties help to extend a rather short campaign, but still doesn't offer much reason to continue playing after you've completed the game a few times. The thing I was excited for the most, the motion controls, ultimately became my biggest disappointment and I can't help but feel that there was a huge missed opportunity to not package the game with a gun peripheral. Still, the core game remains fun despite being released over 25 years ago.
