In the game, players follow the stories of two characters, Leon S.

The game is played from a first-person perspective and involves shooting enemies and solving puzzles. It also includes a co-op mode in which two players can play together.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles received generally positive reviews upon release.

The game, along with The Umbrella Chronicles, is included in the Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection for the PlayStation 3.
