Undead Knights (Sony PSP, 2009)

Product Specs

Description

Undead Knights puts a twist on typical zombie games in that instead of dispatching never-ending hordes of zombie offenders, it lets players transform enemies into legions of mindless drones for use as an undead army of vengeance. The brainwashed King Kirk Gradis had Romulus, Remus, and Silvia murdered, but the trio have come back from the dead to exact their revenge on the king and anyone working for him. Gamers can play as any one of the three main characters, unleashing ten different combo attacks on enemies, or simply sucking the life out of foes and adding them to a stable of zombie minions. Combat unfolds in a typical hack-and-slash manner, but the zombies add an extra wrinkle, as they can be picked up and thrown at enemies, or ordered to band together for direct attacks and help with solving environmental puzzles. There are five missions in each of the four main game areas, and at the end of each chapter players earn "Dark Energy" points that can be divvied up between the three characters. Those looking for multiplayer action can join up to three friends for Ad-hoc mayhem in the head-to-head "Survival Race" mode, the co-op "King Battle" mode, and the self-explanatory "Zombie Pillow Fight" mode.
