Our verdict on Identity V

Identity V is a free-to-play asymmetric horror game from NetEase Games, built around competitive 1-vs-4 multiplayer matches on Android. Four Survivors cooperate to decode cipher machines, open an exit gate, and escape, while a single Hunter tries to catch them. Its gothic visual style and detective-led story set around an abandoned manor give the matches a suspenseful frame. The split roles make it a fit for players who enjoy teamwork under pursuit, and less suited to someone looking for a solo-focused game or broader listed platform coverage.

Match variety comes from randomized map adjustments and selectable characters with customizable play strategies. The different objectives give each side a clear focus: Survivors coordinate on escape tasks, while the Hunter pursues them. This structure is the game's central appeal, rather than a broad set of game modes described in the product information. Players seeking asymmetric multiplayer suspense should find the premise aligned with that interest; those who prefer cooperative play without an opposing player may want another style of game.

The game is free to download and play, with optional in-game purchases, including randomized virtual items. The published information does not attach a specific starting price to those purchases, so buyers should assess the in-game purchase options directly. Android is the listed platform, and email is the listed support channel. Identity V makes the clearest case for players comfortable with competitive pursuit, distinct team roles, and optional purchases; players seeking a different platform or a game without randomized purchasable items should consider alternatives.
