'Undead Horde 2: Necropolis' Available On Steam Early Access - Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 8, 2022 @ 10:19 a.m. PST

Undead Horde 2 is a necromantic action game with elements from RPG, strategy and hack'n'slash.

Become an Undead King and raise undead warriors from the remains of your enemies. Use your army of undead warriors to rebuild Necropolis after the vile attack conducted by the living.

Take back your land, free the undead souls and secure the future for the undead.

Enhanced minion creation mechanics are the main gameplay improvement when compared to the first Undead Horde. In the first game the player can only raise as minions exactly the same units the player killed, but in UH2 there's a lot more freedom: The player can raise any unlocked unit from the enemy remains. This results in a more controlled experience from the gameplay perspective as the player can fine tune the army composition as desired.

In addition to enhanced minion mechanics the player will rebuild the Necropolis and the choices made there will affect the gameplay as well.

The Undead Horde (2) is marching in! The game is now available on Steam Early Access with a hefty 20% launch discount. At this point there's only a Windows version, but a Mac version will be available at some point. Regarding Linux we think that Proton/Steamplay is mature enough so that we can rely on that for now.

We decided to make the launch discount substantial since we don't want to change the actual base price during the Early Access or after it. However, as the first players need to wait a while for the next piece of content to open, we felt it would be fair to give them a lower price since they're the first necromancers entering the world of Undead Horde 2: Necropolis.

That said, you won't have to wait too long for the new content. We'll try to release the first major update in a beta branch next week. We need to test it there for a while before moving it to default branch, but it'll be available for everyone through the beta branch in any case.

The Early Access version will contain the first chapter of the game and related achievements, enemies, items, units and secrets. Each major update will present new enemies, units, achievements, items and secrets.
