91/100

Undead Horde is a fantastic 'necromancer simulator' that perfectly blends action RPG, hack'n'slash, and strategy. There is an immense sense of power in slaying an enemy and immediately re-animating them to serve in your growing army. You aren't just a solo warrior; you're the commander of a shambling war machine. Whether you're raising human soldiers or giant scorpions, the sheer variety of minions makes every battle a tactical playground.

The loot system is surprisingly deep, with an endless amount of weapons and magical trinkets to customize your necromancer's stats. The world exploration is rewarding, and the humor found in the interactions with the living (and their leader, King Paladin Benevictor) adds a nice touch of personality. It’s a game that lets you play the 'villain' in the most fun way possible, managing your horde while directly participating in the carnage. It’s polished, addictive, and a great twist on the ARPG genre.

Dinsun Review

I’ve always preferred games that let you play as the antagonist, and Undead Horde delivers on that fantasy quite well. The loop of killing enemies and immediately raising them to fight for you is mechanically satisfying and doesn't get old as quickly as I expected. It’s a bit of Diablo mixed with a light RTS, and it works.

The port to mobile is decent, though managing a large army with touch controls can occasionally feel like herding cats. It’s not the deepest RPG in terms of character builds, but the variety of minions you can raise—from simple skeletons to giants—keeps the tactical options interesting. It’s a solid, complete premium experience, which I appreciate in a market full of 'freemium' garbage.

Building Your Horde

Focus on raising specialized units. While standard skeletons are great for meat-shielding, re-animating archers or giant creatures provides the necessary damage output to take down fortified buildings and bosses.
