You play as one of three characters; the Knight Romulus, his younger brother Remus, or Sylvia, Remus' bride and daughter to the king. As the three lay dying, they make a pact with an evil force, and return infused with unholy power, bent on revenge.
As you journey to the king, you must convert foes into zombie slaves. These zombies may be ordered to attack or pin down your opponents, break down barrier/objects, and even form unliving bridges to circumvent obstacles. Zombie minions may also be utilized as inhuman shields, objects to be thrown, and more.
