About The Unliving

Each fallen foe can be raised into the army, while the necromancer casts spells to help break living defenses. Reanimated creatures bring their own abilities, such as a priest whose former blessings become curses. Each run generates a new world of settlements, traps, secret rooms and artifacts, while living opponents fight back in organized groups and bosses use distinct patterns.
