The Unliving is a dark fantasy action RPG coming to Steam later this year. More precisely, on October 31, the initial announcement has been shifted for just 5 days, when The Unliving will enter its Early Access period on Steam. The Unliving will feature procedurally generated worlds with endless runs and tons of enemies, artifacts, and secrets.
In a recent press release, Team 17 stated:
The Unliving brings together an unholy alliance of roguelite and real-time strategy gameplay to the genre, creating a unique experience that places players in command of their very own army as a powerful necromancer who reanimates fallen foes and commands them to join the ever-growing and sinister horde of undead. In the procedurally generated environments of The Unliving, death is only the beginning; with each failed attempt the Necromancer returns ever stronger, with new knowledge and skills, and a rekindled desire to bring down his fury on the living.
The Unliving Key Features:
- Turn enemies into obedient undead minions: Reincarnate fallen foes into loyal soldiers that obey every command
