Undead games

[DoPo]

You were right, I got the wrong game, I actually meant HOMM V, which had a similar system in which you simply got an absurd amount of skeleton archers after a while. Good times.

Ah yes, 5 is also doing well in that regard...to an extent. The dark energy system comes off as a bit odd but when you get over that, it works quite nice, I'd say. It doesn't make the necros outright imba (although they were ridiculously OP at first) but it does deliver them that extra bang you'd expect from necromancy.

Myth 2: Soulblighter.
At least in the multiplayer you can command Thralls.
They don't have to breathe so you can set ambushes in rivers and lakes.

Stubbs the zombie, anyone? Pretty obvious choice.

Indeed. When I got to post 8, I started worrying that the world forgot about it.

Again, it's in the OP. I didn't think it necessary to suggest games already mentioned, especially ones by the TC himself.

why did i get a warning for pointing out that stubs the zombie was already mentioned?!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

In the Metal Slug games you can be mummified, and everything that implies.

Its called low-content posting. If you wanted to avoid the warning you should have edited it into another post.

Dark souls is a good candidate you play as an undead character technically also Prepare to die!

Edit: didn't see dark souls in the OP disregard this entire post!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Lol very suitable for the game. Loved the hell out of that one, was always a malkavian (although that made the first time playthrough awkward XD)

Theres Disgaea in all those games you can play as various undead if you wish well control them at least.

Legacy of Kain has been mentioned but deserves re-mentioning especially blood omen as its awesome and now free.

In WoW you can play as the Forsaken so guess that counts as well.

Plants vs. Zombies as a game mode called "I, Zombie" where you try to eat cardboard plants and brains. It's a lot more slow-paced, challenging, and puzzling than the normal playing-as-plants gameplay is. Plus, you've got to conserve a whole lot more.

The console re-release also has a vs. mode where one play can have plants, and the other uses zombies, and the two duke it out!

Conker's Bad Fur Day has two unlockable zombies for multiplayer deathmatches.

I'm honestly struggling to think of any. Bar ones already mentioned I can't really think of any besides multiplayer modes. There is a mod for Dawn of War that has zombies on one side, which could be awesome, but I think it's dead.

As a side note, I would LOVE to see a Stubbs 2.

EDIT: I forgot, Infectonator! Granted you don't really control them directly and its a flash game, but its still awesome. Seriously, Google Infectonator 2 NOW.

After a few posts I saw that all my options were taken (damned ninjas)
MediEvel is often brought up and its pretty fun or as fun as you get from a demo. (never got the full game)
Timesplitters series has many a zombie and undead monster to play as and I'm totally not plugging the series right now .

 

[Lunar Templar]

wasn't the PC in Planescape:Torment undead?

I present to you [a href="http://armorgames.com/play/505/sonny"]Sonny[/a] and [a href="http://armorgames.com/play/2900/sonny-2"]Sonny 2[/a]. A fairly good little RPG and its sequel. I highly recommend at least trying the first one. (my only problem with this series is that the third game has yet to be made)

 

[Krion_Vark]

hiya simple question this, anyone know any games where you play as the undead? or control them? any genre just so you know. All the ones I can think of are diablo 2, warcraft 3 (and wow), dark souls and stubbs the zombie. so anyone know any undead games, thanks in advance

limecake, by undead I mean anything thats started to rot so not vampires really but Il make some exceptions. Like I said be one or control undead

Okay to rectify something first Undead means anything that is no longer living. If you want people to not mention things that contain Vampires then say ZOMBIES not Undead or Living dead because Undead/Living Dead encompass quite a few different things and does not just mean Zombies.

also Left 4 dead doesnt really count since the "zombies" arnt undead just humans with rabies :/

You do know here you pretty much took out 90% of the Zombie Genre because 90% of the time it is some sort of virus or disease that turns them into Zombies.

I loved those games completely forgot about them until you mentioned it.

Requisite plug for Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. I don't care if it's been mentioned already it deserved another mention. Just don't go without the fan patch.

Also this thing just came out on GOG, I had no idea it existed before yesterday but it mentions an undead faction http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/heroes_of_annihilated_empires

yes, so? in that 90% the undead are undead. In left 4 dead it is quite literally humans with rabies. They havnt died at any point.

and I wasnt just meaning zombies thats why I said undead. I didnt classify vampires like alucard because you dont get the sense that they are infact dead from playing as them. VTMB I counted because they feel like something that has died (notice how i said some exceptions)

so viral zombies still count just not left 4 dead as the only time they have ever died is when you put a bullet in them
