Oh yes, there is much horror and surviving in Pikmin.
Of course ED had inadequate zombies, cuz it's not a survival horror game, it's a barbecue. It's about chopping limbs off everything like the sick beings we are, and looking for the next door to open. There was hardly any trouble surviving in the first place.
See, Chris Redfield had that pathetic survival knife, not to mention the sheathed knife that was stuck on his vest that he or any player never figured out to use. As it turns out, the knife is not very good at dismembering zombies, so Chrissy boy really did have to do some work to survive, which is why it's probably called a survival knife in the first place. On the other hand, every melee weapon in ED was great for turning monsters into grocery store meat. So generally your character had a higher combat potential than the monsters, unlike Chris who's a wuss. Your ED characters didn't need to survive the monsters so much as the monsters had to survive YOU! Given ED's story with the opposing sides/alignments of monsters, this makes some sense since you set out to destroy them.
