These new enemies dodge, wield melee and projectile weapons, and are capable of working collectively. Significantly smarter and quicker than the zombies from previous games, Ganados are a very different sort of foe. Instead, the main enemies are parasitically-controlled humans referred to as "Los Ganados". A typical play-through can result in the player killing upwards of 900 enemies.īecause the game contains no zombies, this installment is a radical departure from the series formula. Previous titles in the series have focused on exploration and conservation of ammunition - in RE4, the player can fire more ammunition and kill more enemies in one playthrough than in all of the other Resident Evil games combined (not including the Gun Survivor sub-franchise, in which the player is deliberately given infinite pistol ammunition). This, combined with an abundance of healing items and ammunition, results in a different gameplay experience from other Resident Evil games. Resident Evil 4's game mechanics have been completely revamped to incorporate fast-paced gunplay, quick controls and shootouts involving massive crowds of enemies in large open areas.
