The Unliving is a dark fantasy action RPG coming to Steam later this year. More precisely, on October 26, The Unliving will enter its Early Access era on Steam. The Unliving will feature procedurally generated worlds with endless runs and tons of enemies, artifacts, and secrets.
According to the official press release:
Team17 and RocketBrush Studio have today revealed that dark fantasy action RPG The Unliving will be launching into Steam Early Access on 26th October. Combining rogue-lite and real-time strategy gameplay, The Unliving offers up a unique spin on the RPG genre and follows a powerful Necromancer out to wreak havoc across humanity’s domains by smiting enemies, before resurrecting and commanding them as a horde of sinister undead.
Featuring procedurally generated worlds and endless runs that offer their own set of enemies, artifacts, and secrets, the Necromancer must learn from each failed attempt in order to succeed in defeating the opposing forces of humankind. As they wield powerful necromancy and lead their army of reincarnated fallen foes, players will burn cities to ash and slay epic bosses, all the while avoiding death’s permanent embrace time and time again.
