Prepare to wash the mouth of your army with soap as they can't help but engage in zombie bashing dialogue over a raging metal soundtrack that helps your channel your inner anger. If you can deal with the gut-wrenching, Smack-talking, fluid-spitting, and limb amputating ways of your army, you can embark on your journey of vengeance to defeat the king. The Dark Hero Persona: This game atypically allows you to be the "evil" main character serving as an anti-hero figure. Create a Zombie Army: Defeat as many enemies as you can to transform them into your own personal soldiers. Combo Attacks: Choose up to ten different combo attacks to fight your way through varied enemies ranging from animals to soldiers.

    Undead Knights is not going to appeal to everyone. Its combat is unrefined and the hack n' slash mentality will get old for those who demand a bit more depth and strategy to their games. However, those just looking for a replayable and ridiculous portable action game won't go far wrong with Tecmo's latest offering. It's got buckets of blood, armies of loyal zombies and characters that feel like complete and utter badasses.

    It's a lot of fun to be commanding corpses rather than running from them. [Mar 2010, p.88]

    Undead Knights' frustrating control moments and sometimes dull design elements don't completely outweigh its violent charm. The gruesome, dark premise is slick and the underlying gameplay is definitely enjoyable in short bursts.

    An unusual product: a little bit of God of War with some drops of Overlord and Pikmin. Still, this game is not brilliant, 'cause of the creepy graphics and the iterative gameplay.

    It's mindless fun, but fun nonetheless. [Holiday 2009, p.83]

    Too simplistic for a strategy title and too clumsy for a pure action game, Undead Knights is a mishmash of poorly executed ideas that will disappoint even the most ardent zombie fan.

    There are some interesting ideas here, but in practice the game is overloaded with cut corners and blunting repetition. [Mar 2010, p.97]

    I'm not a fan of these kind of games. But this one has a good meaty gameplay. your screen is always full of enemies and that is fun!
