Undead Horde Switch NSP Free Download I knew a necromancer once. A lovely guy, truly one of the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet. He had the most infectious smile and never failed to bring a room alive with his gift of raising everyone’s spirits. Very career driven too, invested in a lot of cryptocurrencies to make a living. Never was very good with women though, only ever wanted them for their bodies. I used to try make him feel a bit more confident by telling him he put the “romance” in “necromance”. He had one long term girlfriend but she dumped him when he told her he wanted to raise a family with her; her departure was soul crushing. He started hordeing after she left and became a bit of a recluse. Playing Undead Horde this week made me think back to those exciting times we had together and more importantly provided me with a great little action RPG to boot. ROMSLAB.COM Best Switch Games

Undead Horde, as mentioned above, is a top-down RPG where you play as a Necromancer on a quest to take back his domain from the ridiculous notion of “light” and “purity” instilled by the Paladins that stole his empire in the first place. To succeed on this quest, you’re gonna need friends. Fortunately, for one that has the ability to re-alive the dead, friends are never too far. That’s the hook of Undead Horde, the ability to summon up enemies you kill to grow your following and lay siege on the land of the living. I expected that within its self to be fun, ordering dozens of little archers to burn down a tower or sending a pack of zombie bears to slaughter a gang of swordsmen always feels satisfying if not a touch simplistic.  DARK SOULS REMASTERED Switch NSP

Quests and Slaying your foes

If anything this game is far more of an RPG than I initially anticipated. Your necromancer will level up by completing quests and slaying foes, allowing you to focus in on what sort of playstyle you want to follow. Upgrading your command cap means you can control more units but then you probably shouldn’t wade into battle yourself. Or maybe you’d rather buff your health and act as a tank for all your zombie pals. There’s a level of player freedom that was refreshing and it only gets deeper when factoring in equipment.

Your necromancer can equip a melee weapon in his right hand, a magical staff in his left, wear two rings of power, carry a deadly book on the waist, an enchanted skull on the other and a mystical amulet around his neck. Jangling into combat, each of these items provides some increase to your power, with rarer loot obviously having the most substantial benefits. The amount of in-depth character speccing I was doing was truly impressive and whilst obviously not as dense and detailed as other games in the action roleplaying genre, Undead Horde offers a remarkable amount of customisation for a comparably small title. Players who prefer more recognisable upgrades probably won’t find much to love here as items are all mostly percentage boosts rather than aesthetic changes made to your character.

RPG and strategy to buildup

Undead Horde is an action game with elements from the RPG, strategy, and hack n slash genres. At first glance, you will say it’s the perfect Diablo clone, but upon further inspection, well, you will be disappointed. The gameplay feels like a satisfying loop and very Diablo-esque, but the main issue lies within the lack of meaningful items. Despite the game having procedurally generated items and weapons to pick up, it does no good if they don’t feel unique; the items are currently routine and conformist.

There’s one factor, though, that makes the Undead Horde stand out: you can re-animate almost any dead creature encountered through corpses in the battlefield, graves, and summoning statues. Statues must be unlocked before they can be used. The only limiting factor is the command capacity of the Necromancer. The command capacity can be increased, though. Even with such a compelling feature, it does not make up for its habitual gameplay. It doesn’t help that there is little to no replayability after making your way through the first and only era. While the developers have promised more replayability through adding eras (new areas) two and three post-release, I’m pessimistic it will make much difference due to the routine gameplay. The character variety changes the loop up a bit, so if the developers went in that direction I’d give it another chance.

However, Undead Horde does shine in its art style and performance. There were no noticeable bugs or hiccups, especially in terms of frame rate. The gameplay felt smooth while looking “cool.” I know I keep saying it but I really wasn’t expecting this much from Undead Horde. A simple, tone-downed hack and slash RPG that will provide players with a surprising amount of customisation and hours of fun killing and collecting different enemies to reanimate. Despite the occasional feeling of repetition, squishy units and odd decisions regarding the colour palette, Undead Horde is bristling with content for you explore and explore. Densha de GO!!

The art style was a perfect fit for what this game was attempting, and without it, the game just wouldn’t be recommendable. While graphics and performance are flawless, Undead Horde has repetitive and routine gameplay that prevents it from reaching its potential. I’d say if you are looking for this type of a game, your best bet is saving up for the Diablo 3: Eternal Collection on Nintendo Switch. Diablo III Eternal Collection Switch NSP
