* SceneryGorn: The Ruins stage is given a major overhaul in the Genesis/Megadrive port, going from a crumbling temple full of stone pillars and stained glass into a giant, SlasherMovie-inspired cabin with a red-brick façade and rotting hardwood floors that are liberally sprinkled with gore, bloody weapons, and severed limbs & heads, the latter of which can also fire projectiles at you.

''Undead Line'' (also titled ''Undeadline'' in certain foreign releases) is a vertical-scrolling, medieval-themed RunAndGun style arcade action game developed by the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis.

In the dawn of time, a war between the gods before creation of men results in the creation of various living weapons, which was later sealed away to prevent them from being used again. The times of war in the past would be known as Ragnarök.

Fast-forward to the present in the Kingdom of Gitane, a demon lord named Count Brahzen is seeking the Great Demon, the Spirit of Roshufa, to revive the monsters from ancient era.
The wise King Fahrenheit II of Gitane immediately orders for his best warriors to go on a quest to defeat the Count and his monsters, a challenge answered by three heroes, a Warrior, a Wizard, and a Kunoichi, which player(s) can select to battle the forces of evil.

!! ''Undead Line'' contain examples of:
* AssistCharacter: You have quite a few, including a fairy who flies around automatically hitting your nearby enemies, and another power-up that summons a trio of baby dragons that shoots fire for you.
* BattleInTheRain: It will rain halfway through in the cemetery stage, just as you're busy slicing up zombies, skeletons, and assorted undead.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Giant insects, including oversized bees, flies and centipedes, are recurring enemies in the forest and swamp areas.
* BlobMonster: You can fight weak, green puddles of living slime in the caverns. They die in one hit by any weapon.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1e/e1/8a/1ee18a4e6811a65d81d0cebcb498ae94.jpg alternate cover]] depicts the Grim Reaper in a far more stereotypical fashion, having his iconic scythe, which he doesn't wield during his boss fight.
* CreepyCentipedes: Man-sized centipede monsters are a recurring mook enemy.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Most of the enemies, and all of the bosses, who blows up repeatedly once their health is depleted.
* DemBones: Walking skeletons expectedly appears in this medieval-themed game, in the graveyard and the tunnels.
* FighterMageThief: The three default playable characters, the Warrior, Wizard and Kunoichi, in that order.
* FletchetteStorm: If you're without any power-ups, your default weapon will be an endless stream of throwing knives which you have an unlimited supply of. You can even upgrade it multiple times with the SpreadShot so you're hurling blades in '''six''' directions!
* FlyingFace: One of your enemies are flying ectoplasmic skulls who can damage you by touching.
* {{Gashadokuro}}: You fight a gigantic floating ''half''-skeleton monster (the upper half) as one of the boss. Said skeleton can [[PowerFloats float]] all over the damn place and spam crescent-shaped projectiles that homes in on you.
* {{Golem}}: The first boss is a gigantic rock golem who alternate attacks between stomping you and summoning [[DishingOutDirt giant rock projectiles]] to smash you up.
* GratuitousNinja: One of the three playable classes is a scantily-clad kunoichi, in a European-inspired HighFantasy setting.
* TheGrimReaper: Unsurprisingly, the boss of the Cemetary, appearing as a gigantic hooded skeleton with abilities to [[CastingAShadow cloak itself with darkness]] and sic balls of dark energy that drains your health. What's unusual though is that this version of the Grim Reaper ''doesn't'' have it's scythe.
* TheHeavy: Count Brahzen, the leader of the demons who intends to unleash monsters all over the kingdom. He's also the second-to-last boss, the Great Demon he summoned appearing immediately after.
* HockeyMaskAndChainsaw: In the final stage, you can fight humanoid enemies in hockey masks (despite the medieval setting), though instead of chainsaws they DualWield knives. They're also among the more dangerous enemies, needing three hits to kill, having MercyInvincibility and the tendency to pursue after you repeatedly.
* HomingProjectile: The crescent blade power up turns your default knives into curved blades that can home into nearest enemies. Late into the game, it turns out the giant skeleton boss can use the same projectile as yours, the difference being his crescent blades chasing after you are ''huge''.
* LethalLavaLand: The "Rock" stage, which is set inside a volcano, with occasional lava projectiles coming from below. Said level ends with a boss fight against a LivingLava Fire Elemental with a fiery face made of flames, which attacks you at the exit.
* MercyInvincibility:
** You're granted these the moment you respawn after dying.
** Then there's the hockey-mask wearing enemies in the final stage, who needs to be killed thrice. When taken down the first time, they're invincible (preventing you from repeatedly pummeling them) until they get up and resume pursuing you.
* MuckMonster: A huge living pile of sludge appears as a boss in the sewer, with tentacles made of slime lashing out at you. It can break into smaller piles of living slime before [[PullingThemselvesTogether reforming into a monster]], until you defeat it.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: The Cemetary is filled with undead enemies. And there's a section where you have to literally cross a field of tombstones while fighting the undead - accidentally destroying stray tombs will result in the grave spawning ''more'' undead to attack.
* {{Oculothorax}}: Giant floating eyeballs are one of the many enemies you can encounter.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: A hostile dragon shows up as a boss, whose attacks alternate between [[BreathWeapon breathing fire]] and flapping it's wings, which somehow causes projectiles to fly out at you.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Your enemies includes ghosts and ectoplasms of various shapes and appearances, but they can be killed by any weapon, including your default throwing knives.
* PlayingWithFire:
** The Fire Spell can incinerate half a screen in front of you, and is especially useful for taking out large number of enemies together.
** The Dragon and Fire Elemental bosses both use flame-based attacks, obviously.
* SwordBeam: A power-up converts your projectiles into these. Among your enemies, the skeletons in the graveyard can somehow fire identical beams from their swords.
* TakenForGranite: The Great Demon TrueFinalBoss turns into stone after being defeated, with the game's end credits being plastered over his petrified form.
* YouHaveFailedMe: In the aftermath of the boss fight against Count Brahzen, the moment the Count is defeated he then gets vaporized by a beam of light by the newly-awakened Great Demon. Cue the last boss.
