TGS 08: Command zombie hordes in Tecmo’s PSP title Undead Knights

We don’t know too much about how the upcoming PlayStation Portable title Undead Knights will play, but Tecmo’s told us all we need to know to grab our attention.

The game will allow you to create and control an undead army in what Tecmo are calling “a new-style invasion action game.” While we have no idea what the actually means, we’re never ones to scoff at playing upper-management to zombie hordes. As the game’s “evil” main character, you’ll defeat enemies and then subsequently use your unique abilities to bring their bodies to life to do your bidding.

It all sounds pretty great, but unfortunately Tecmo isn’t really showing off much of the game yet; the only visuals we have are a CG trailer and images from that same trailer. Undead Knights is set to ship in 2009, so it shouldn’t be long before we start seeing some actual in-game footage of rutheless undead soldiers tearing troops limb from limb.
