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, with various zombies popping up in front of a video background. The player must use either a mouse cursor on-screen or a light gun to shoot them down.
For those who own the Sega Mega CD, Corpse Killer offers an exciting experience with its FMV graphics and intense action sequences. Some bonus features include extra power-ups and additional enemy footage in the Saturn version.
