Undead Horde is an action RPG with RTS influenced necromancer mechanics for re-animating and commanding a horde of minions.

“It has been really satisfying to make a game that offers a fresh necromancer-focused ARPG experience. We’re also happy the game was embraced by dozens of content creators and streamers during the last few weeks. Thanks go to all the people who’ve created this magnificient content. Today we’re happy to take the next step and release the game on Early Access. We estimate we’ll be in this phase for roughly two months before releasing the complete version. Hopefully we can make the game even better with the feedback from the community.”, said Sampo Töyssy, the lead developer of Undead Horde at 10tons.
The main hook of Undead Horde is that the Necromancer can re-animate almost any dead creature he encounters. He can also command his army to combat or to follow him.
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.
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.
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.
