Undead Horde looks like Brutal Legend with an attitude and a twist, which is by no means a bad thing. This "necromancer simulator" from 10tons is a combination of action RPG, RTS and hack'n'slash, a cocktail that might just work if they can blend it right.
The main hook of Undead Horde is that the player can re-animate slain enemies and command them, controlling an army of up to 100 undead. You'll battle against the living who drove the necromancers and their undead minions into exile long ago, but now, the undead are on the come-up.
The main protagonist, Orcen the Necromancer, was imprisoned in a magical urn by the human paladins, but through a little luck, a chicken accidentally breaks the urn and releases him. 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 necromancer focused stuff there are going to be ARPG elements like loot, leveling, questing, and an annoying lawful good hero to defeat, which is always a task worth pursuing.
Undead Horde will be out this Wednesday (May 15th) on PC, Xbox One, Switch, and PS4.
