Love it!! Great for any corpse party fan! It gets crazy but kept me interested and invested. As someone who loves the OG Corpse Party, it is SUPER cool to get to see the school in 3D and walk around in it.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive serves as the narrative conclusion to the Heavenly Host saga, continuing directly from Book of Shadows and resolving long-running story threads. The game focuses on a small group of returning characters who risk revisiting supernatural horrors in an attempt to undo previous tragedies. The plot remains the core strength of the experience, filled with emotional stakes, character trauma, and the series’ signature grim atmosphere. It expands the lore meaningfully, though it sometimes leans too heavily on exposition. Gameplay shifts away from the 2D style of earlier titles and adopts a fully 3D presentation. This change introduces both opportunities and issues. Exploration feels more immersive thanks to dynamic lighting and detailed environments, but movement can be stiff, collision detection inconsistent, and the camera occasionally unreliable. The addition of flashlight mechanics, hiding spots, and environmental hazards adds tension, yet these systems are not always polished. As before, the game relies on a mix of story-driven progression and light puzzle-solving. Finding items, triggering events, and navigating death traps remain central to the experience. Wrong turns can lead to instant deaths, a series trademark, but the trial-and-error nature can feel more punishing in this entry due to its slower movement and darker environments. While these frustrations are intentional to some extent, they may test player patience. Presentation is a mixed bag. The fully voiced dialogue scenes and expressive character portraits are strong, maintaining emotional impact and horror ambiance. However, technical shortcomings—such as texture pop-ins, uneven frame rates, and long loading times—can interrupt immersion. Despite these issues, the soundtrack remains consistently effective, balancing eerie soundscapes with dramatic themes that reinforce the story’s tone. The horror itself focuses more on psychological dread and narrative shocks than constant jump scares. There are gruesome moments typical of the series, but the game invests more in its characters' emotional unraveling. Fans invested in the story will appreciate the depth and finality of the narrative, while newcomers may struggle due to the heavy reliance on previous titles’ events. Replayability exists through multiple endings and collectible lore items, but the core experience leans heavily on its story rather than gameplay variety. Once finished, players may find little incentive to return aside from completionist goals. The structure feels designed for one intense playthrough rather than repeated runs. Overall, Corpse Party: Blood Drive succeeds as a narrative finale but falters as a mechanical evolution. Its story, voice acting, and atmosphere remain compelling, especially for long-time fans, but technical limitations and cumbersome gameplay hold it back. It delivers closure and emotional weight, provided you can accept its uneven execution and focus on narrative over refinement.

Take even the most cursory glance online and you can easily find a torrent of hate for this game, but you won't find it here. I enjoyed this game very much by taking my time to savour it and really ensure I was following every development closely. A lot of players fall off the rails with this game because they don't hold on tight enough, or for some reason want it to follow real-world logic rigidly, a strange ask, given that players of this game presumably have at least some experience of the magic-laden Corpse Party universe by now. I highly recommend immersing oneself deeply in the gory warm bath of Corpse Party (2021), Book of Shadows, and Sweet Sachiko's Hysteric Birthday Bash before playing this. Yes, you will lose a lot by not having played those games thoroughly beforehand. I would also encourage you to play this on PC! Wonderful, you're reading this on Steam, so you almost certainly will be. I say the above because a lot of this game's negative reputation comes from the appalling mess it was released in, and left in, for years on console. Oh console, how heavy your sins! This isn't to say the game is a flawless masterpiece now—certainly not, but it's a lot better than the cynics and hate–train bandwagoners would have you believe. It has a fantastic ending and genuinely great story beats all throughout. This game includes some of the best extra chapters in the whole series and when "Harewataru Sora" begins to play in the Epilogue, it really hits perfectly... like the fragile hope that dares to hint at dawn after the oppressive darkness of Heavenly Host. Some puzzles are particularly hard… well, that's always been Corpse Party; the infamous bug pit from Game 1 set the standard for that. Some things are a little finicky to interact with again, that's par for the course. Maybe the new characters upset you? Some villains are irredeemable; not everyone needs to be shades of grey. As for Magari and Kuon, Magari is larger than life but nothing unusual for this series, really. Kuon is very strange, yes, but remind yourself: she was created by the curse to replace Ms. Yui. Feeling otherworldly and unnatural is deliberate—she was literally written into existence by magic. Accepting that is table stakes for the story, so complaining about her "weirdness" feels oddly selective. She isn't an ordinary woman. Perhaps you simply don't like where the story goes and feel strongly that if only you had written it, then it would be different and much better in your humble opinion… Overall, this is a great telling of Kedouin's vision for how the Heavenly Host saga ends, at least for now. I personally think it tells its story very well. Yes, this is one of those "do or do not, there is no try" kind of games: either commit to this as a lover, or don't bother with it—as you'll only get hurt if you go in for a quick fling. 8/10

Corpse Party: Blood Drive - I bought a game, got a Visual Novel instead. Sidenote: I will not be regarding the EX chapters as I could not be asked to read shits I don't care about, I just couldn't. The good: + I generally like the story, except for the fact that they kinda retcon (?) (although I'm pretty sure they leave its origin as ambiguous as possible so they can make shits up later, which, if that's the case then more power to them, I guess), the creation of the Nirvana or whatever, and the weird shits Kuon Niwa does to Satoshi, cannot get over those. + Kuon Niwa's death is much better than that of Mayu Suzumoto. I feel like Mayu's death is more for shock value and to make the game seem more tragic than it actually is, as Mayu herself never really does anything in the game, other than get fucked up by ghosts. While Kuon Niwa's character has been established throughout the game, and her death was to save the world, which makes her death all the more impactful than Mayu Suzumoto's. + I like the 3D style, it doesn't seem easy to translate a 2D game into 3D, and I think they did a pretty good job at it. The bad: + Like the title of the post suggests, it's just a slightly fancier Visual Novel. I don't really mind Visual Novel. Although they might as well present it as such, as there's barely enough stuff in here to be considered gameplay. + Speaking of gameplay, it's an almost direct clone of Corpse Party 1, which is a problem, because the 1st game's gameplay ain't all that good either, it's just a massive fetch quest. There's no puzzle solving, no combat (will be talking about this in a sec, don't worry), no nothing that a fun game has. Although the environmental hazards do spice things up a bit. Though some of them get obscured by the map, which is horrible map design. It's kind of a nothing burger, as at least 90% of my play time is just reading and walking around, hitting triggers. + It's not survival horror (I don't think the devs ever claim that it is, but it has the tagline so I will criticize it for that), as it's not horror, horror is, of course, subjective, but nothing ever really scares me in my 20+ hours of playing the game, nor you survive in this game, surviving includes fighting and flying, and I ain't seeing any of the former. I would LOVE to play a zombie game (one that has proper survival features) that takes place in this universe, but unfortunately, that probably ain't gonna happen. + The fucking gym music, you know what I'm talking about. + Ayumi's character. Apparently, she trusts some random fucker she never met, one who called her names and has nothing to show for the shits he said, more than her friends and, you know, her experiences with the Book of Shadows. It's not a nitpick because if she just tells Misuto to fuck his ass off of her property, then the game wouldn't happen, and she and Yoshiki Kishinuma wouldn't be erased out of existence. Also, according to the (fan) wiki, she doesn't like adults, especially men, not sure how much I trust that but I'll take their word for it, so why the fuck does she even thinks he's trustworthy in the first place. The ugly: + Fetish. You cannot convince me that the writer didn't have some kind of fetish for holding in piss after at least 3 fucking games that have someone doing exactly just that, at least in this game they don't linger on that, which is pretty concerning now that I think about it. + Said weird shits that Kuon Niwa does to Satoshi. Open a fucking hot sprint at his house (apparently getting nothing in return if not for the free pass Satoshi's mother gave her), chew food for him, be naked in front of him, and probably more that I can't bother remembering. Overall, 4/10. I like the game, but you should seriously reconsider if you want to buy it.

tbh it's worse than the previous 2 games.. introduces random ass characters that don't really need to be there, shifts focus to random occult ex machina. only recommend it because it wraps up the story. i dunno man, this one doesn't do it for me. i loved blood covered and BoS but this one falls flat imo.
