While the Necromancer may control the undead even he cannot escape death with each reincarnation, players must learn from their mistakes, forge new strategies, and overcome the living, all while trying to unravel the secrets buried deep in forgotten corners of the world of The Unliving. In the previous demo, I was able to work with the clunky and dumb AI of my minions to move on to the next pack of enemies whilst remaining healthy in life and in minion numbers, and I was consistently able to get to the last part of the level where you have to defend the Bone Giant besieging the walls. In The Unliving, players wield the dark art of necromancy to command a growing army of the undead through a mystical world, wreaking havoc across humanity’s domains and turning fallen enemies into morbid servants. I'm not sure what to think, but it feels like a step in the wrong direction. Raise the undead, use numerous spells and explore a mystical world, all realised with darkly extravagant pixel-art. The Unliving is a dynamic rogue-lite action RPG with strategic elements. Smite hundreds of those standing in your way and turn them into your tools on the way to a greater purpose. Clerics and lords hope to hide behind high walls, but there’s no stronghold to cover them from your wrath. This storm is you, a mighty Necromancer, a sorcerer who denies death and leads the legions of the dead. Hopefully, it will be just as fun to play as it is to look at.The realm of the living has been corrupted to its core and a storm is coming to change the world order. Judging by the trailers, the game certainly looks polished and enjoyable. The Unliving will arrive on Steam Early Access sometime during the first half of 2022, so this demo should tide players over until then. Fortunately for those curious enough to try the game out, publisher Team17 and developer RocketBrush Studio just put out a demo for The Unliving on Steam.Īccording to a press release, the demo provides players with “a sneak peek at one of the levels, a boss challenge involving escorting an engorged undead ally towards an objective, and 40 abilities and undead upgrades to try out.” The press release details a few of the abilities and upgrades that players can expect to see, “including blood wave, which hurls a wave of bones at enemies, damaging them while also pushing them back, and blood tide, which turns spilled blood into chimeras that crawl to enemy forces and explode.”īoth the press release and the Steam page list some of The Unliving’s key features, which include transforming “enemies into obedient undead minions” and sacrificing those minions “to release powerful spells.” Players can enjoy the game’s “highly detailed pixel art” as they play, and “cryptic notes, coerced information, and ancient artifacts” are available for those interested in the lore. The Unliving, a real-time strategy game starring a necromancer that commands an army of the undead, aims to cater to this exact fantasy. But fewer games ask players to control a zombie, let alone an army of them. Countless games see players fighting against zombies. Because of zombie-related media’s sheer prevalence, many may understandably think that creators and developers have completely sapped the concept of any further potential for expansion. If one tried to count every piece of media featuring zombies, they might end up dead themselves.
