Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. It’s rare that I find a mobile game that actually respects the player's intelligence. Undead Horde 2 does exactly what a sequel should: it takes the foundation of the first game—raising the dead to fight for you—and adds a layer of city-building and strategic depth that was missing. The loop of killing an enemy and immediately adding them to your ranks is still the most satisfying mechanic in the game.
The visuals are a bit dated—very early 2010s PC aesthetic—but the performance is rock solid even with dozens of units on screen. It’s not a 10/10 because the combat itself can get a bit 'mushy' and the grind for resources to upgrade the Necropolis can feel like a chore in the mid-game. However, as a premium title without predatory microtransactions, it stands out in today's market. A respectable effort.
