(Overkill, EX, Zombie Revenge, and others)
DIE, HUMANS!
Type-01, codenamed "Black Magician" is an UDS (Undead Soldier) touted as the "God of Destruction" that the bio terrorist ZED released from his body at the end of Episode 7. He is the final boss in the spin-off Zombie Revenge.
Gameplay[]
Initially (with the exception of not using handguns) all of its attacks are either faster and more frequently used versions of ZED’s attacks, or are modified forms of previous bosses attacks like UDSP-TP II 00 & 01’s vertical missile attack being modified into a barrage of energy blasts. In addition to these attacks however once it’s health drops below 50% it will gain one of three abilities depending on which of the cards the player picked on the computer in the first act of the game. If they picked the yellow card he will be covered in electricity and can then shoot blasts of lightning, the red card will engulf him in flame and let him shoot fireballs, and the black card will engulf him in dark blue magical energy and let him summon zombies for support during the battle.
Trivia[]
- Black Magician derives its name and appearance from Magician, a recurring boss in the original House of the Dead series. In addition, its recycling of prior boss attacks is similar to Emperor from The House of the Dead 2.
- Black Magician shares the same voice as ZED, but with an added sound filter.
- The chapter name Black Magician is fought in, "Dawn", is also the name of the chapter the Magician is fought in from The House of the Dead 2, further linking their synonymity.
- This boss is the only enemy encountered in the game with an assigned Type number. Although, Black Magician’s Type number “01” is different from Magician’s Type number of “0” interestingly.
