About The Unliving
The Unliving follows a vengeful Necromancer sweeping relentlessly across the land, smiting his enemies and reanimating fallen foes in pursuit of an antidote to restore his broken soul. Each new run sees the Necromancer return stronger than before, learning from his mistakes with each failed attempt, and offering a new chance for humanity to fall. In the brutal and procedurally generated world, players will slay armies, beat epic bosses, collect powerful spells, and gather resources to restore his citadel, all while uncovering the secrets of the Necromancer, and his faithful followers.
