Tampere, Finland, February 21st 2019 – multiplatform game developer and publisher 10tons announced today that the “necromancer simulator” Undead Horde will be available for Windows on Steam Early Access on March 6th 2019.
“Undead Horde is a dream come true for many of us as it combines elements from our favorite games like Diablo, Overlord, Pikmin and even the canceled Nekro which looked promising. Undead Horde is part action RPG and part RTS which results in fun and fresh gameplay. After over a year in development, we’ve been super happy to see the game being picked up by streamers during the last two weeks.”, said Sampo Töyssy, the lead developer of Undead Horde at 10tons.
Undead Horde is set in a fantasy world where the living have driven the undead into exile and the main protagonist Orcen the Necromancer was imprisoned in a magical urn by the paladins. The story starts as a cavalier chicken accidentally breaks the urn and releases the prisoner. Once free, Orcen needs to raise the dead to form his army and take back the world from the paladins and the living.
The main hook of Undead Horde is that the Necromancer can re-animate almost any dead creature he encounters. His army comes from multiple sources including the corpses in the battlefield, graves, and ultimately summoning statues. Statues must be unlocked before they can be used. The only limiting factor is the command capacity of the Necromancer. The command capacity can be increased in various ways.
In addition to necromancery, the Necromancer can use various weapons and items. The items provide numerous options for boosting the minions and the necromancer. Items are procedurally generated and an endless amount of interesting items and combos can be discovered.
Undead Horde is built using 10tons Ltd. proprietary game engine technology and is primarily targeted at PCs and current & next generation consoles. Plans for mobile versions will be announced at a later date.
