Keep up, people: The Unliving is coming out of Early Access this month, so if you want to be one of those people who like to say, “I was there from the beginning”, make it a reality and support this game from RocketBrush Studio and Team17.
That’s not an order, just saying.
Let us assume you’ve been living six feet under and give you a summary. The Unliving is a rogue-lite RTS where you play a necromancer hunting for a potion to restore his broken soul. One of the perks of his job is reanimating the dead and having them fight for him. Yep, you can do precisely that in the game.
Other key features include:
- Turn enemies into unique undead minions: Each fallen foe has an undead counterpart that the Necromancer can summon to his undead army
- Sacrifice the undead: The Necromancer can sacrifice members of his undead legions to release powerful spells that can change the course of the battle
- Enjoy hand-drawn levels: The world of The Unliving is procedurally generated from a selection of meticulously crafted and highly detailed pixel art chunks
- Death is only the beginning: Through each permadeath players will be resurrected, keeping their progression. Gathered necromantic resources can be used to restore the citadel hub world and power up the Necromancer
- Overcome blessed bosses: Powerful creatures are the last hope of living to take down the Necromancer, each boasts its own fighting style and abilities· Unlock the secrets of necromancy: Meet members of your own necromantic cult, and interrogate enemies to piece together the truth behind the necromancer’s immortality, and the unnatural abilities he wields
Here’s the launch trailer:
The Unliving goes official on the 26th of October on Steam. Again, you can support and buy the game from the store page. If you need a push, you can read the preview here.
