The upcoming retro revival Undead is already building anticipation, and now fans can get an early listen to its Undead end credits theme. The track, a collaboration between 8 Bits High and Sekret Teknik, will play once players complete the game. This sneak peek offers more than just music—it gives a taste of the raw energy and atmosphere the developers are bringing to both the Commodore 64 and PC versions of the game.
A Game Risen Again
Undead is no stranger to history. Originally developed for the Commodore 64 back in 1990–1992, the project has been resurrected and reimagined for a modern audience while staying true to its roots. Players take control of Jon, a half-human, half-cyborg fighter, in his brutal mission to rescue captured scientists. Along the way, he faces a nightmarish mix of zombies, cult bikers, and demons straight from the depths of hell.
The game’s combat system shines with variety. From melee strikes and brutal grabs to hurling enemies like bowling pins, the mechanics are designed for relentless action. Add in supercharged weapons and branching level paths, and it’s clear that Undead aims to deliver high replay value.
Built for Speed and Impact
One of the standout design choices is immediacy. With a “quick press fire to play” interface, there’s no slog of menus, cutscenes, or tutorials. Instead, players are dropped straight into the chaos, just like classic arcade hits. Hand-crafted bitmap graphics, hundreds of animation frames, and a ranking system that dynamically adjusts difficulty ensure every run feels fresh. Multiple endings and hidden secrets reward persistence.
The Undead end credits track ties it all together, carrying the same intensity as the gameplay itself. With its groovy retro vibe, the song doesn’t just celebrate victory—it reinforces the old-school energy that Undead promises to deliver.
If you want to experience that final tune before you’ve even survived the zombie hordes, the video preview is worth a listen. But beware: it may leave you itching to face the chaos yourself.
