Let's Play Undead Knights

Undead Knights is a hack 'n slash for the Playstation Portable with a rather strange premise. You got murdered, which kinda sucks, but a mysterious creature brings you back to life and gives you incredible strength. You can even bring other people back from the dead and give them incredible strength too! But only after you kill them yourself, of course. These new zombie allies of yours are the game's main mechanic. You can throw them at things, murder stuff with them, and... well that's most of it really. It's not a deep game, but it's fun and very visceral. The story is also surprisingly good.

About This Let's Play in Particular:

I've already bought most of the upgrades, but I saved a few to exhibit when I feel the time is right. I'm only playing through the game one time, as one character: Romulus. The main story is the same for all three characters, with a few different details. Not different enough to warrant fully upgrading two other characters. God, no.

Thank you all for watching!

The thread name - is that a nod to Garth Marenghi's Dark Place?

Edit: Interestingly enough, 'Blood' as a surname is not unknown; in fact, one of Britain's greatest rogues who ever lived had such a name: I refer to none other than notorious Thomas Blood.

I'm liking this so far, it's an interesting concept and I always like to see zombies implemented in a different way to the standard lurching enemy hoard. Does this game get crazy or does it stay at pretty much this level for the rest of the run?

That looks like a lot of fun. Also, Steve Blum's voice is ridiculously good.

Dynasty warriors, heavy metal edition. If I had a psp I would probably get this.

This does look pretty fun. I might pick this up on my vita.

Like all vita owners, I use the thing to catch up on all the awesome psp games I missed out on.

EDIT: And play Helldivers. It don't get no better than Helldivers.

I love that our hero's primary weapon is essentially a chainsaw sword. That's pretty metal.

It's the "special" weapon you unlock for completing the game. It's just an aesthetic change. Honestly it should've been the default.

Yes, it is what it looks like!

Zombie Pikmin :3: kinda. I enjoyed this game and I really like how you described it as not a hack n slash. I liked to use Sylvia because she uses a scythe and that is as metal as the soundtrack :rock:

Yes, but not to such a degree that I think it is important. Most of the time is spent throwing zombies at things, after all.

The glow is a guide, my friend. Though it falls to you to avert catastrophe, you will never fight alone.
Sure is a lot of Blood in this game.

I like it though. I've always said it'd be neat to have zombies in a more medieval setting. Being in command is great too. Now if only it was made for something other than a portable system.

All of the voice acting except for the protagonist's is really good for some reason. It's really weird.

It GETS nuts? Now, I just started, but the first level ended with you making a five-zombie tall undead totem pole and had them fall across a broken bridge so you could walk over it.

I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

It was six zombies. The undead totem he made was six zombies tall. :colbert:

Let's try to be precise in our zombie tallies from now on, guys, not just in this thread but in other threads too.

I don't recall any of the environments really being re-used. I mean, there's a section where you go back through an area you've seen, but there's a valid reason for that and they don't pretend it's a new location.

So yeah, that's pretty neat. Turning the thing that's been your gimmick for nine chapters against you is a pretty neat twist.

edit: When you want to play a different character, do you just swap out at any time or do you have to restart from the beginning?

When your holy fruit is pulsing with malevolent darkness and has an eye on it, maybe it's time to re-evaluate which side you're on.

You basically have to start over, because a non-upgraded character is as good as cannon fodder.
