Undeadline - Intro

The intro to Undeadline for the MSX2. This the english translated release by Woomb. Undeadline is a walking vertical shooter with a few RPG elements. In the game you can increase character’s level as you gain fairies (experience), pick up items and weapons, and in every stage exploring is required to find certain items to get you through a stage. The highlight of this game are the characters, each satisfying your sword & sorcery fix. You can choose between 3 characters Leon (fighter), Dino (wizard), and Ruika (ninja). Each character has their own unique defense ability and preferred weapon of choice, so any one you choose will require a different approach when you play. I really didn’t like to the game at first, but I’ve grown to love it. It’s not your usual shmup where getting to point A to B is just shooting and passing by through open space. No, you got to explore in this game and everything hinges on you being at the right place in time. What I mean by this, there are weapons, hidden chests and fairies all over the place and there are enemies and physical barriers to get in your way. If you don’t manage to pickup a certain weapon or item you’ll definitely cripple your chance of success.
