Trailer: Heidelberg 1693 offers up 17th century, German zombies

No, not those other German zombies, the ones in Heidelberg 1693 are very much old-school undead, and set in against a pretty unique backdrop.

Brains, with sauerkraut

Heidelberg 1693 is a challenging 2D Action platformer set in a zombie-infested version of 17th century Germany in which the player takes control of one of French King Louis XIV’s famous musketeers. The game adds a layer of tactical combat to the genre by introducing the weapon of choice of musketeers: the musket. Players will be able to fire one powerful – and very effective- musket shot at a time. The weapon must be used wisely because of its long reset time though. Heidelberg 1693 tells its somber story – featuring real locations and historical figures – across multiple paths and endings.
