The game MediEvil Resurrection begins a hundred years earlier, where legend portrayed Sir Daniel Fortesque as the greatest hero of the kingdom of Gallowmere — a knight who led the king’s army to defeat the evil sorcerer Zarok and his army of the undead. But the truth was far different.

Daniel was nothing more than the first to fall at the launch of the battle’s first arrow, while Zarok remained alive, weaving his schemes from the shadows. Now, after a century of oblivion, the evil sorcerer has returned to spread darkness once again, casting a spell to resurrect his army of the dead. But by accident, he also awakens the corpse that had hidden behind the illusion of heroism — none other than Sir Daniel Fortesque, the skeletal knight who is granted a second chance by fate to prove his courage. Armed with his battered sword and a soul that has never tasted glory, Dan sets out on a perilous journey through mysterious graves, cursed forests, and haunted cities in search of the Anubis Stone — the ancient artifact capable of defeating Zarok forever. But the journey will not be easy, as Dan will face shadow demons, enchanted pumpkin kings, the souls of fallen soldiers, and even death itself.

With every challenge, he comes closer to his true goal — not just defeating Zarok, but earning the title that was falsely given to him a century ago. In the final battle, as the kingdom stands on the brink of destruction, Dan faces his old foe in a last fight that will write the final chapter of his tale — to either have his name rightfully engraved in the Hall of Heroes, or return to the shadows of oblivion forever. The game takes players on a unique journey, blending classic adventure with fast-paced action as players take control of

Sir Daniel Fortesque in MediEvil Resurrection for PSP, navigating through varied stages where he battles hordes of bizarre monsters and terrifying creatures. His mission is to stop Zarok’s evil. The adventure begins with simple weapons like a sword, but as you progress, you’ll discover a diverse arsenal — from flaming spears to magical bows and swords, and even severed arms that can be used as weapons. After defeating enough enemies and collecting the hidden Chalice of Souls in each level, Dan gains access to the Hall of Heroes, where he is rewarded by a legendary hero with a new weapon or other useful items.

The game isn’t limited to combat — it’s also filled with environmental puzzles that require clever thinking, such as finding secret keys and using special abilities to unlock new paths. There are also soul chalices — special challenges requiring you to collect a certain number of defeated souls to access the Hall of Heroes, where legendary characters grant you stronger weapons to aid your quest. The Resurrection version added some new elements compared to the original release, such as mini-games that provide side challenges, and a multiplayer mode that increased the variety in gameplay. However, the game’s core remained true to its comedic tone and fun-filled adventures.

If you’re a fan of the original game released in 1998, you’ll notice that Resurrection reintroduces the same story but with several major changes. The graphics have improved significantly, with redesigned characters and environments that suit the capabilities of the PSP, making the world appear brighter and more vibrant with enhanced visual effects and lighting. Story-wise, some scenes were adjusted and new narrative threads were added. Certain levels were changed or removed entirely, making the game feel shorter than the original — something that didn’t sit well with some fans. One of the new additions was the mini-mission mode — side challenges that gave the game more variety. The combat style was also improved to be more fluid and responsive, making battles feel more dynamic. Overall, this game revived the original in an enjoyable way, with visual upgrades and narrative changes. But it wasn’t a complete replacement for the original — rather, it offered a different experience that kept the spirit of adventure alive with a fresh touch of humor and visual renewal. Thus, the journey of Sir Dan remains one of the most classic tales in gaming — a mix of satire, heroism, and strange encounters — with the skeletal knight standing as a symbol of second chances, even if they come a century after death.
