Corpse Killer is an FMV-based shooter game for the Sega CD system. The protagonist is a highly skilled special forces operative, who lands on an isolated tropical island. The antagonist, Dr. Hellman, has discovered a means to resurrect the dead, leading to a zombie-infested island. The player must navigate through swarms of undead to confront Dr. Hellman. Although primarily a first-person game, the player eliminates zombies using an on-screen cursor or light gun against a video backdrop. The Saturn variant includes additional power-ups and supplemental enemy footage.
Corpse Killer is a full-motion video shoot-'em up. You play as an elite special forces soldier, who parachutes onto a remote tropical island. It seems the evil genius Dr. Hellman has found a way to raise the dead, and created an island of zombies. It's up to you to shoot your 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 you shoot them down by moving a cursor on screen or by using a light gun. The Saturn version has a few different features including extra power-ups as well as added footage of enemies.
