Gameplay
The gameplay is entirely original and is very easy. The player attacks automatically at the undead coming at him. However, you can swipe your finger in the direction you would want your hero to move. Many added features like evasive rolling, heavy attacks, special moves and abilities can be used easily for helping in killing off more undead. Abilities are special powers which are activated for powerful attacking moves, giving temporary stat bonuses like increased defense or attack or summoning powerful pets who fight along with you against the undead. Abilities require soul stones which enemies drop randomly along with coins and health when they are killed.
Yep, it’s a bit tough to locate the hero in these two not-so-clear screenshots.
Some stages also feature bosses, which are very tough and super hard to kill. Killing them however is not without its bonuses as you are rewarded with weapon and armor upgrades , which you can use in the forge.
The hero is aided in his undead crusade by many allies who can be called in game to fight the zombies in his stead.These allies, called Captains can be called in any mission a number of times but you can only select one Captain each mission. Captains too level up as they kill undead and also by enabling a special mode in which they receive XP from the other heroes, however doing this will force the other hero to leave your group and hence he or she becomes unusable for the remainder of the game. Heroes are recruited by searching for them through China. Some heroes may even have their own unique special attacks.
Ancient China, ruled by Cao Cao, the sickly brother of the hero offers various opportunities to help in killing more undead. A blacksmith, training sessions to increase your physical prowess, a shop for purchasing different weapons, armors, items,etc. and an unearthly master who teaches you awesome skills to murder more undead. The game’s mini map has a button for each of the above mentioned features and another one that shows your play statistics.
Undead Slayer, with it’s easy killing and splendid anime action is a fast paced adventure that you just can’t miss.
