Star Wars Horror Zombie Shooter game is something I didn't know I needed. Playing Deathtroopers 1 and 2 made by Stefano Cagnani on Unreal Engine 5! Leave a LIKE and a comment, thanks for watching.
star wars is supprisingly perfect for horror. imagine a crashed ship, few troopers, on kashyyk being hunted by a single wookie preditor style. wookies are hard asf
Well you could say that in the technical terms or other way to say it in scientific terms resurrected targets with no advance brain and body factions other than adaptive behaviour and a desire for hunger on the living in order to spread the infection's influence to a new host/vessel
@@Minecraftassassin-re6og 😄"They're resurrected targets with no advance brain and body factions other than adaptive behaviour and a desire for hunger on the living in order to spread the infection's influence to a new host/vesselnow?" "They're resurrected targets with no advance brain and body factions other than adaptive behaviour and a desire for hunger on the living in order to spread the infection's influence to a new host/vessel now" just in case i am referencing the sequel's "They fly now?"
The way this is modelled got me thinking how nice a Star Wars game using the old Kenner action figures would be, wonder if Lucas/Disney have ever considered it.
The inspiration for this was project blackwing a imperial virus that went horribly wrong abroad an imperial prison ship (which sadly only about 5 people made it out alive the rest were either infected or eaten and the virus never made it out because the infection needed to stay close to the main source of the virus otherwise the current host/vessel dies)
The one jarring thing that I cant look past is the fact they're covered in armour and helmets and blood so none of it makes sense they're not biting each other. Just seems silly when I think too deeply 😂
@@TheRogueWolf they could make a really good game in this vain as you said. This is a good example of how atmospheric it would be so I gotta give the dev props
@@DZB666 you should read the book. I think you are close. They didn't get to release the disease because it spread on a Star Destroyer before it got to its destination.
You can actually see from some of the first books' covers that their helmets are cracked right on through,so those who do eat do have the space to do so.
This genuinely has potential, I only wish It was slightly more lore friendly. Using the plot of say Dathomir and the Nightsisters as the cause. Could even be as simple as the Nightsisters growing tired of the imperial reign and decided to strike back.
Honestly it could be as simple as one of Palpatine’s imperial research experiments goes wrong creating this outbreak at a hidden lab in the outer rim and it got out.
What do you mean “more lore friendly”, these zombie troopers or “death troopers” are created from an imperial virus meant for the death trooper super solider program. Hints of this can be found in the books (there’s two books about this virus), map details in the original battlefront 2 regarding dark troopers, and project black wing, the virus, was apart of the death trooper program. You know. Krennicks death troopers? Yea those guys, who are actually in the movies? Tf you mean “more lore friendly”
I find the night sisters zombies less interesting than the nightwing ones or whatever they were called, but that’s just me (the night sisters zombies are still dope lol)
Battlefront 2 Ewok Hunt was absolutely awesome. In Clonewars there was an episode with infested clones. Would love to see smth like this. In general: If they made smth like Rogue Squad with the Bad Batch that'd be absolutely amazing
The amount of crazy bullshit in the Star Wars universe, I don't know why they haven't done more horror. Even just the "survive the night against ewoks" game mode showed the potential. Hell, they have the Rakghouls among other thing.
Dude I READ THOSE BOOKS growing up! Deathtroopers in 2009, and a couple years later: Red Harvest. Those are some of my favorite books, they keep you on the edge of your seat and I absolutely loved them. Loved seeing this ohmage to them, would love a full on Deathtroopers game set in that universe. If you loved Dead Space, you will love Deathtroopers, I might pick them up on audio just to re-experience them.
If you'd like to see another indie game, check out Angels Fall First. It's early access but is a fully working game and while it has taken them a long time, they are still developing it. 64 player infantry and space combat. Can play with others, but also playable fully offline with bots. General consensus is that this game never got the attention it deserved.
So, for some information, the game seems to be a sequel to the Death Trooper book, as the ships mentioned in one of the droid's narrations is called the Purge. This is the prisoner ship that docked with the Zombie Star Destroyer in the Death Trooper Book, and led to Zombie Wookies as Jack was speculating.
I'm a huge fan of your channel. I just saw that you've tried Destiny 2 and I loved your review of it. That's my game of choice right now. Love to see more of it and you testing out the PVP side of it and what your honest thoughts of it. Especially Gambit. I don't take part in the crucible part because of the way noobs like me are put up against sweats.
Imagine a full fletched game where there's multiple levels trying to escape the death star (or a ship maybe) and last level timed since it's going to blow up. Then you land on Endor and have to survive the Ewoks who slowly shows up. You can also find other stormtroopers. Make them human, give them backstories, have one tell you he had to join to provide for his family. Get rescued by The Empire with just 1 other of your teammates surviving (the one with family) Later you are invading Kashyyk or something. With that mate on team yes. It all goes wrong, The Empire was too greedy with ressources. You get isolated from squad and captured. The rebels interrogate you. You explain you were forced into The Empire. You get put into jail, some cutscenes will play of you getting jobs. Sweeping floors long nights.... But then more and more included you become. You smile to the Rebels as you are serving food, no longer being watched. You get your own place to live and freedom. You enjoy the friendlyness of the Rebels and realise they are right.... Then The Empire blows your base up, some of the new friends you've made dies. You are recruited into the army to save the base from The Empire. Then you go into missions as the rebels. You become a respected soldier. More gear and abilities unlock yada yada. (Maybe you are force sensitive too and Luke notices? Could be a concept.) You become a high ranking and respected officer. Until eventually you stand face to face with your old Stormtrooper friend who you got separated with before your capture.... He changed and says you are now his enemy, being brainwashed by The Empires ideology.... He removes his helmet, both emotional yada yada Either you have to kill him, or the game could end by him killing you.... I really just want devs to make a nice Star Wars thing. Humanising Stormtroopers seems popular (okay also some hate it).... Game could still work without the human thing, but I kinda want a good story too.
If you really want to give fan service it could be Leia who captures and spares you since she sees good in you. R2D2/C3PO could become helpers OR just NPCs at Rebel base. Luke could teach you or there could be a level where you are the only rebel alive to assist Luke, you have to help him fight, infiltrate with him etc. you have tech skills he doesn't, you can open doors, you can coordinate with him. You can hack terminals and make distractions. Many possibilities.... If going with force sensitive you could straight up just be an apprentice too lol. Have Han as a vendor at base to sell smuggled goods. Lando can help make your base grown and improve your income Chewbacca could be another playerable character in a DLC where you fight for the other side. Or maybe a teammate? I just feel like too little is being done with this IP. The game could also be COOP lol. No reason not to. Could even have a lil multiplier if you are going to make fully fletched weapons and gadgets too.
No matter what you do with Star Wars you can't change the fact that people are running around in plastic armour fighting teddy bears and scottish terrier bigfoots.
pretty sure this game is based upon the "Death Troopers" novel, in which an imperial experimant gains sentience and infects an entire destroyer with a black, ink-like liquid which serves to connect them bodies to a hive mind type consciousness
I believe this is actually based of a cannon story in the Star Wars universe. I vaguely remember a comic or novel describing a zombie like virus infecting a star destroyer and Han Solo infiltrating it. I can’t quite remember
Yeah... but it's Disney. It has to be bastardized just because. So no, not until someone comes by and tells Disney to "fuck off" so the film can be made properly.
I'd assume he stole that TIE-Fighter. But you're right, typically they'd be in a black pilot suit. Assuming with how damaged it was when it was floating in space, he likely escaped a space station that was also infected. Likely others sacrificed themselves to make sure this trooper left to find help. But that's my speculation.
I love the slowed style because if EA were to make a Dead Space spiritual successor in the Star Wars universe, it honestly could have been fantastic if it were based on Death Troopers. Just seeing the intro to the demo for the second game with the crash-landed stormtrooper makes me hope the dev(s) get to make a game like this even if they aren't able to make a full-priced Star Wars game due to legal reasons.
Ah got to love slow mo in games. Think they missed a trick though, think how terrifying it would be to be the lone survivor being hunted by hundreds of just normal ewoks. Dropping logs and boulders on you from nowhere, pit traps, and wild beasts. Being swarmed by ewoks with knives. Though I guess you could kill an ewok in a second, just kick its face off.
star wars survival horror - battlefront 2's ewok hunt was terrifying
That was more like Star Wars Vietnam
Fr
that was an awesome mode
All I played when it was out lol. So much fun
oh man, lol memories
Jack just revealed how much he lieks star wars by identifying the R5 droid within 2 frames
lol glad I’m not the only one who caught that
I was like damn ok he's quick with it
confidently and instantaneously. he had them fan boy reflexes.
Wonder how fast it takes him to tell an imp 1 and am imp2
I noted that as well lol
jack is the only stormtrooper that can aim lol
In terms of Star Wars definitely
Dis so true
Dam😂
Take his gun now
Fun fact: stormstroopers have the best aim in the entire galaxy..
@@zacharydrahm825according to the original trilogy they are about as good as an African militia or rebel group
Seeing jack not reloading when low shows how much of a Helldiver he is
star wars is supprisingly perfect for horror. imagine a crashed ship, few troopers, on kashyyk being hunted by a single wookie preditor style. wookies are hard asf
Pause
Pause
PAAAAAUUUUSE
Hol up, pause
Woolie with RABIES!
12:12 "What kind of run is that?"
The run of a man who just completely evacuated his bowels
The books (Death Troopers and Red Harvest) this was based on were great. Star Wars horror that was very well written. Especially Red Harvest
Yeah they were the introduction to certain characters was great too
Also if you haven't already the audio books are phenomenally done
@@nitalosis I haven't listened to the Red Harvest book yet, but the Death Troopers audio book is SO good. Genuinely creepy too lol
@@Oatinator the part with the platform that gets crosse I don't want to say too much but man that was awesome lol
I'm not huge on Star Wars, but the covers of these books intrigued me many years ago. I really enjoyed them both.

13:41 Hearing the old Battlefront sound effect was such a nice touch
The way this is modelled got me thinking how nice a Star Wars game using the old Kenner action figures would be, wonder if Lucas/Disney have ever considered it.
Whats the game?
The Death Troopers book was a great Star Wars zombie story, always thought it would make an interesting video game.
It would also make a ridiculously good mini series
The inspiration for this was project blackwing a imperial virus that went horribly wrong abroad an imperial prison ship (which sadly only about 5 people made it out alive the rest were either infected or eaten and the virus never made it out because the infection needed to stay close to the main source of the virus otherwise the current host/vessel dies)
Did you know the virus was speculated to have been the reason the galaxy was sealed off
I would absolutely love an R-rated horror film in the Star Wars universe. There's so much potential there!
The one jarring thing that I cant look past is the fact they're covered in armour and helmets and blood so none of it makes sense they're not biting each other. Just seems silly when I think too deeply 😂
Honestly, it would work better featuring a single bounty hunter in and around a derelict cantina. That'd be a lot more work, though.
@@TheRogueWolf they could make a really good game in this vain as you said. This is a good example of how atmospheric it would be so I gotta give the dev props
That and the communication that's clearly taken from some other zombie movie or game (it references a "the tri-state area," lol)
@@DZB666 you should read the book. I think you are close. They didn't get to release the disease because it spread on a Star Destroyer before it got to its destination.

Death Troopers is an old and awesome Star Wars novel! 10/10 would recommend!
This genuinely has potential, I only wish It was slightly more lore friendly. Using the plot of say Dathomir and the Nightsisters as the cause. Could even be as simple as the Nightsisters growing tired of the imperial reign and decided to strike back.
Honestly it could be as simple as one of Palpatine’s imperial research experiments goes wrong creating this outbreak at a hidden lab in the outer rim and it got out.
I get you but for me this would be more about the fun experience and an awesome zombie horror game, I wouldnt want it to be cannon
What do you mean “more lore friendly”, these zombie troopers or “death troopers” are created from an imperial virus meant for the death trooper super solider program. Hints of this can be found in the books (there’s two books about this virus), map details in the original battlefront 2 regarding dark troopers, and project black wing, the virus, was apart of the death trooper program.

ewok hunt was terrifying bru
stormtrooper hittin that lego star wars stealth walk animation 😂😂
Finally a good looking game about death troopers 😍😍😍😍
For a small team yeah, the upside down raindrops though hehe
thank you for playing this and giving it some traction!!
"Somehow, they're zombies now"
Death troopers was an honestly super good book
About time a game was finally made
This is a big ein
this was a book/comic back in the 90's and it was amazing. I will 100% be playing this
Death Troopers was one of the more tragic losses in Disney's acquisition.
jackfrags, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
The amount of crazy bullshit in the Star Wars universe, I don't know why they haven't done more horror. Even just the "survive the night against ewoks" game mode showed the potential. Hell, they have the Rakghouls among other thing.
Yeah but it wouldn’t be disney 10 years old friendly
Hey Jack great vid mate keep it up, this game is awesome!
Great find! My son will enjoy this as he is a huge Star Wars fan.
this looks dope af omg i hope the full game comes out soon
I haven’t been this early since the Falcon was owned by Lando
Raindrops are falling upside down! Very cool👍
I see you're explorting the derilict ship Vector, good luck enjoying the sickness. Complimetns of project blackwing
That capt jack sparrow run though 😂😂😂
Umbrella corp has reach space.😂
And time traveled backwards to a long time ago somehow.
(A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....)

just wait till you see the sequel to star wars empire at war
Is that gonna happen?
@@Ulfrich_Stormcock hehe
Made me scream and jump at times, glad it was you and not me playing this thing
I'm too much of a wuss to play horror games, but I'm happy to watch you play it. It looks intriguing and I wish the developer every success 🙂
I love this! So awesome and i cant believe it hasnt been done! Really excited to see zombie ewoks and wookies 🤣💀
Zombiewoks!!
Not to be confused with undead Chinese cookware.
Boy, how I would’ve loved to make a death troopers game-skit with these engines. People are gonna get more and more talented as time goes by
A classic fan fiction that became a novel, very scary story and a decent read

Jack is the last person this excited for Star Wars.
The original game was an indie game called "Cargo" it was about a TV headed monster infesting the ship or smth like that.
12:39 that og SWBF2 sound effect tho gotta love it! Oh man there's a lot of swbf2 stuff.
This looks awesome! Ewok hunt on nightmare fuel lol
I instantly recognized that little beep sound effect from the Jedi Knight series from way back.

I've read Deathtroopers, it's a phenomenal book! Always wondered if they'd ever turn it into a game or movie.
This is exactly what I expected. Near perfect.
I remember there was an official Star Wars mobile game Clash of Clans like game back in the day and it had zombies
Undead Darth Vadar.... Even Palpatine would Cower in fear of such a possibility.
No matter what you do with Star Wars you can't change the fact that people are running around in plastic armour fighting teddy bears and scottish terrier bigfoots.
I read the Death Troopers book, it was rather good!
Jackfrags' channel is the droid that you've been looking for!
This was terrific
Reminds me of the spooky mission in Republic Commando :D
pretty sure this game is based upon the "Death Troopers" novel, in which an imperial experimant gains sentience and infects an entire destroyer with a black, ink-like liquid which serves to connect them bodies to a hive mind type consciousness
Wow, this is the first time I see a Stormtrooper actually hitting something!
This is something a big developer needs to take advantage of
Got to say it - I'm impressed.
We already (kinda) have a star wars Horror game. Its called Star wars Republic Commando. The Ship mission was scarry.😶😶😶😶
It has been done, but not in the world of zombies. The Ewok hunt is absolutely terrifying.
The beginning reminded me of halo combat evolved! You know when you first meet the flood bbrrrr
Something Disney would never allow with their hostage of a franchise but in another universe I imagine it would've happened.
this gives me serious death troopers novel vibes
Project Blackwing, this looks so cool.
I believe this is actually based of a cannon story in the Star Wars universe. I vaguely remember a comic or novel describing a zombie like virus infecting a star destroyer and Han Solo infiltrating it.
I can’t quite remember
It's a fan game based on the book Deathtroopers. I definitely recommend a read.
Never did I think Survival Horror would find its way to STAR WARS 😂 but it works surprisingly well 👍👍
This would make such an incredible film
Yeah... but it's Disney. It has to be bastardized just because. So no, not until someone comes by and tells Disney to "fuck off" so the film can be made properly.
Man the endor at night mission was horror In itself
Hahaha the pink panther walk 😅
Aren't the TIE-fighter troopers supposed to have black armor? Or did that trooper steal that ship? Lore plot thickens
I'd assume he stole that TIE-Fighter. But you're right, typically they'd be in a black pilot suit. Assuming with how damaged it was when it was floating in space, he likely escaped a space station that was also infected. Likely others sacrificed themselves to make sure this trooper left to find help. But that's my speculation.
I was thinking the same thing when the trooper emerged. Then I considered that it might have been related to the first game and that trooper escaped.
I love the slowed style because if EA were to make a Dead Space spiritual successor in the Star Wars universe, it honestly could have been fantastic if it were based on Death Troopers.
Just seeing the intro to the demo for the second game with the crash-landed stormtrooper makes me hope the dev(s) get to make a game like this even if they aren't able to make a full-priced Star Wars game due to legal reasons.

This is horror for real - stormtrooper who actually hits his targets is terrifying
The mighty heel of the Empire will mercilessly prance atop our enemies!
That would have been funny if the Scout Trooper missed unaliving himself lol
Truly glorious
The book that this game is based on is pretty good too.
This genuinely looks better than a triple A game lmaooo
I gotta have this game NOW!!!
The body at the end of the first round gave me Texas chainsaw massacre in space vibes
reminds me of the clone wars episode with the worms on geonocia
“I’m dying” in the most monotone voice ever lol
There’s a book called Death Troopers that is pretty much this game but it’s Han Solo and Chewbacca, iirc, who find the infested Star destroyer ship
Star wars mixed with system shock would be an amazing idea
Wow, Jack playing Horror game
The cover for the book this is based on gave me nightmares as a kid
Blaster rounds coming out from above the gun lol
This gave me the willies, ergo I left. Sorry Jack.
Crazy how you stopped going for headshots and slow mo the very instant you got the E-11.
