Description
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.

User reviews
If aesthetic alone is enough to keep you going, then you may still enjoy this. The art style is gothic, the sound design eerie, and this is yet another example of the strength of pixel art. I also like the writing,
The Necromancer dream is dead. Game had potential but its just another one of those "grind it till you make it rogue"-likes. What interested me at first was the talk of RPG, but as soon as you dip your toes into the
The game has been plagued with bugs since launch and there has been no updates to fix the issues. Team17 has removed it from their list of games and contacting them about a bug they told me through email that the game
This game is a Greek Tragedy: tons of raw potential, very good start, terrible execution, mediocre result. I honestly wanted and still want this game to be a decent 2d version of smth like an Overlord 2, but it doesn't,
As someone who played this game a lot (far more than the profile says as I have played in a "different" way before), I must say that gameplay-wise it is rather... honestly, rather bad. Still has a lot of bugs and areas
So it is an Action Roguelike first and RPG later. The whole horde mechanic is interesting, but uncooked. The horde sometimes just stops attacking, the healer stops healing, and so on. The spells are interesting but
