My experience with deck building games only involves Dominion and all of its expansion except for Seaside, so my review is based on my experiences with Dominion and Resident Evil. After playing Dominion, I felt that there was something missing. Winning a game in Dominion is fairly easy (get money, buy points). After researching for quite some time, I passed up on getting Thunderstone (because the minions are known before you attack) and I also passed up on Ascension (because the pool of cards are limited). Resident Evil was the game I've been waiting for, and everyone who have had a chance to enjoy it with me, will say the same about it.
What I like about Resident Evil, the Deck Building Game, is that in order to win, you have to take risks. The zombies are in the mansion, but you don't know what or who it is unless you "explore". Special items in the mansion, also makes taking risks, much more exciting. Furthermore, the different characters allows for a lot of unique game play. To win the game, you have to build your deck around your character (this is the most fun).
What I don't like about the game is the lack of action cards. Because there are 3 types of game play, the number of action cards are very limited for any one type of game. The cards, as others have mentioned, are warped and not of very high quality, but the game is pretty cheap to replace if needed. And finally, as others have mentioned, the instruction book is poorly written and very lacking. Be sure to join the board game forums and the official RE Deck Building Game forum so that you can your questions answered, because you will have some.
Overall, I would highly recommend this game. Every time this game comes out of the box, it's a guarantee 4-6 hours of game play. Sure there are some flaws with the game, but despite that, it is, in my opinion, the best deck building game. I'm glad I didn't spend money getting the other DBGs out there.

After reading through the rules and having a few trial and error games with friends, I can safely say that we now know how to play and it is a lot simpler than one would first imagine, as some card games can be quite daunting.
This game definitely has all of the elements from the Resident Evil games, and has a lot of little easter eggs for true fans hidden within its flavour texts and card names.
Definitely a game to try, and the expansions really do bring a lot more to this game also.
