As the first release of the Gun Survivor series, this game was a major difference from the main Resident Evil series, substituting the third-person perspective of the previous games to a first-person view. The Japanese and European versions of the game were compatible with Namco's GunCon/G-Con 45 light gun, making it one of the first off-rail light gun games, whereas lightgun compatibility was removed from the North American releaseIt was followed by Resident Evil Survivor 2 – Code: Veronica.
