Corpse Killer is a full-motion-video (FMV) shoot-'em up. It seems the evil genius Dr. Hellman has found a way to raise the dead and created an island of zombies. The player is an elite special forces soldier who has been parachuted onto the island; it is up to them to shoot their way through the undead hordes and stop Dr. Hellman.
The game is played from a first-person perspective. Various zombies pop up in front of a video background and the player must shoot them down either by moving a mouse cursor on-screen or by using a light gun.
The Saturn version has a few different features, including extra power-ups and additional enemy footage.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a horror-themed action game where players explore a zombie-infested tropical island to confront a mad scientist. You must defend your home base, navigate dangerous locations, and gather resources to prepare for a final siege against Hellman.
Story
FIGHTING THE DEAD
THE ISLAND
CAY NOIR
The tropical island of Cay Noir was once populated by a mysterious and extinct race with an advanced knowledge of the processes of Life and Death. The ruins of their villages bear mute testimony to the ancient wisdom that still may be tapped deep in the volcanic caves of the island. Hellman's breakthrough relied on just such knowledge.
ZOMBIETOWN
The walled city known facetiously as Zombietown is what still remains of the lost race's largest village. Hellman's minions have converted it to their use and it's swarming with bloodthirsty corpses.
The critical battle locations in Zombietown are the entrance gate, the swamp, the village, and the magnificent fortress. The fortress is a most difficult 3-part siege to be undertaken only when fully prepared.
DATURA
GRAVEYARD
The Graveyard is your home base. If you don't protect it, zombies will come to raise the dead. The more they raise, the less likely your chances of surviving and getting to Hellman.
There are other locations on the island which will be useful for gathering information and inventory. Go when you feel the need, but watch out for renegade zombies.
