Featuring a very cool pixel-art style The Unliving from RocketBrush Studio and Team17 combines top-down action-RPG slashing with real-time strategy. With the gist being you can raise the dead to fight for you - a lot of them - as you attempt to take back what's yours.

Here's the trailer which showcases the above - it looks very cool in action. Evoking the sustained chaos and tension of They Are Billions with pixel 2D roguelite action-RPG, err, action.

In The Unliving, players wield the dark art of necromancy to command a growing army of the undead through a mystical world, wreaking havoc across humanity’s domains and turning fallen enemies into morbid servants. While the Necromancer may control the undead even he cannot escape death; with each reincarnation, players must learn from their mistakes, forge new strategies, and overcome the living, all while trying to unravel the secrets buried deep in forgotten corners of the world of The Unliving.

“The Unliving is the first title RocketBrush Studio has developed in its entirety as a team," said Aleks Rublev, Founder, RocketBrush Studio. "We’re thrilled to have Team17 on board to help us realise the vision we have for this ambitious undead title. We can’t wait for players to be able to experience commanding an increasingly powerful army of the dead to crush their enemies on the scale we’ve created in game.”

The Unliving is currently in development for PC.
