with the high-octane action and iconic inventory management of Resident Evil 4
Unlike RE7’s scarcity, Village provides a steady stream of ammunition. The pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle, and grenade launcher feel punchy and satisfying. However, resource management still matters. Lycans (the village’s primary enemies) attack in packs, forcing players to decide between fighting, running, or barricading doors. The Merchant—a creepy, hunchbacked figure named The Duke—returns as a charming vendor, allowing Ethan to buy weapons, upgrade stats (power, fire rate, reload speed), and cook meals from hunted animals to gain permanent buffs.
