About
The realm of the living has been corrupted to its core and a storm is coming to change the world order. This storm is you, a mighty Necromancer, a sorcerer who denies death and leads the legions of the dead. Clerics and lords hope to hide behind high walls, but there’s no stronghold to cover them from your wrath. Smite hundreds of those standing in your way and turn them into your tools on the way to a greater purpose.
The Unliving is a dynamic rogue-lite action RPG with strategic elements. Raise the undead, use numerous spells and explore a mystical world, all realised with darkly extravagant pixel-art.
TURN ENEMIES INTO YOUR UNDEAD ARMY
Each fallen foe can be resurrected and added to your army to create unlimited legions of the dead. These re-animated creatures have their own unique abilities, such as the undead Priest whose blessings in life, will now curse your enemies in death.
UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF NECROMANCY
Meet colorful characters - friends and foes alike. Question members of your own necromantic cult, force answers out of your enemies and even dialogue your own phylacterium - to gather the lost memories of the Necromancer piece by piece and reveal the nature of his immortality. Who knows, maybe you also find out the grim truth about the supreme hierarchies of the Church.

CRUSH EVERYONE IN YOUR WAY
Only some of the living are helpless victims, the rest can retaliate against your forces. They hold the line, move in large groups and wield powerful abilities too. They cherish their lives and will not fall easily, so unleash hell as the Undead Lord to bring them to their knees.
CONQUER UNCHARTED LANDS
The world is randomly generated for each run and is richly populated with an array of creatures, artefacts, secret rooms and deadly traps. Each part of the world is occupied by a variety of living inhabitants - invade villages and slay feeble peasants to reinforce your army or engage in a desperate fight to the death in the swamps against formidable foes.
BATTLE EPIC BOSSES
The powerful creatures of this shadowy world will do all they can to stop you. Each boss has a unique fighting style and set of abilities, meaning deftness in combat and strategic thinking will be crucial in emerging victorious from these gruelling encounters
DIE AND RISE AGAIN
Ability to deny death itself is the greatest secret of the Necromancer. Another mortal strike is merely a setback for him. Take a lesson from your death and don’t let your enemies catch you the same way twice.

Nice concept, story ends with a cliff hanger, but with increasing difficulty there is a lack of challenge, and little to no variation in boss fights, because you can overpower your opponents with upgrades too easily, also there is only two types of boss fights. You can clear all difficulties with first try, once you understand the mechanics. Also control is a bit bugged, half of the time you need to hit the key again or sometimes perform a little workaround, because your mob won't follow you again.
Великолепная игры, если хочешь поиграть за некроманта. Мало таких. Из минусов только то, что игра не развивается, но при этом имеет огромный потенциал. 1) можно сделать компанию, без сброса до 1го уровня 2) создание "кадавров": во время забега собираем "запчасти" боссов, и потом из этого собираем нежить. 3) штурм базы противника, когда ведешь волны нежити на стены, как на первом уровне, но не ограничиваешь себя временем, т.к. мертвецам время не важно)
題材優秀,但是有幾個影響遊戲體驗的問題,1.召喚的死靈AI太弱智了時常會不攻擊近在咫尺的敵人或是朝著你指定位置的反方向攻擊 2.本體脆弱,如果只是這點的話躲在兵團後面就行但是敵人有一大堆穿透兵團的攻擊或是直接跳到你身上還有遠距離狙擊的,兵團根本無法幫你擋住,建議強化AI並添加一些諸如讓兵團替你承受傷害的能力或是讓敵人的遠程攻擊優先攻擊距離它較近的目標
GOOD GAME BUT LOOP SYSTEM İS BAD FOR FUN
The concept is awesome, the pixel art is superb. The gameplay is okay, you raise the dead, send them to fight, you sacrifice them and raise them again, can't expect much out of a necromancer simulator. Buuut I dunno. There's something to be said about how it actually feels and how the balance impacts your enjoyment. Atm the price is okay, and for the price it's fine.
被诈骗了兄弟们,跑!!!
刚玩确实足够新奇有趣,但是越玩越发现这游戏根本没有构筑,作为一款rogue构筑部分却的存在感十分低下,局外强行卡关卡进度,不点完局外开挂通关后还会卡住,十分不理解这样的设计,不推荐,除非对题材非常感兴趣,可以买回来体验两小时然后退款。
aya j'aime beaucoup les jeux avec des invocateur ou des classes permettant un certain contrôle tout en restant assez equillibré, bon jeux, bonne histoire certain aspect font réflèchir du moin pour ma part. je recommande et souhaite un bon jeux a tous !
Looks good, but gameplay just aint it. Rougelite, but outside of spells you don't really feel much difference or from run to run.
Very excited for this and followed through development. Nothing but a disappointment.
