This was really fun! I was very engrossed playing it, it's very simple yet perfectly challenging!

Lovely low poly art and fun gameplay. It took me a while to figure out how to use the resurrect spell. I'd suggest placing the graves closer to the player to start with and also play a negative alert sound when it is used on an invalid location to make it clear to the player she is doing it wrong. Getting points for how many houses, peasants and knights you get would also give it some more replayability.
Really clean low-poly art and fun gameplay! I hope that you continue to work on this game in the future!
The low-poly art and hoards of the death remind me of Death Inc. It's a great game if you haven't heard of it yet. Good Job - I thoroughly enjoyed playing it.
I really dislike that skeletons can't attack (acts only as living shields).
Aside from that over all like in all (graphic, sounds, gameplay). I would probably preffer to move using wsad.
Big like for burning houses - Really nice effect.

Hi,
Right clicking enemies orders your skeletons to attack them.
the undead prevail! wow, this is really fun, has huge potential. great job!
Had fun playing it, I like how you can resurrect the undead and turn them into your army!
Funny game but too damn hard thus disappointing to play. Could have a lot potential if you improve the controls and the guards/zombie dynamics.
Holy crap! Amazing game :) Very fun concept. I love RTS style games especially when you get to play as a commander. Great job!!!
nice graphics and lighting...lacking hit animations though made it less enjoyable, but overall good job
Well made! I still managed to glitch thru the wall though. even though you fixed that?
Very good game! I really enjoy the graphic style too :)
@snade
That's really weird. Can you tell me where you glitched through?
Yesss! Very cool dude. I really wanted a command to tell my skeletons to attack the closest enemies (and one to cancel it so they go back to just shielding me) simple and great game!
@HiVE interactive
Thanks man! You can call your skeletons back by clicking with the middle mouse button.
Overall a really fun game. Raising your skeletons and going to town is easy and works great, no real problems.
You might just win this thing! Great job!
Nice, take a while for me to find out how to resurrect)
Love the style of the game. Although the gameplay is basically very simple, you need to be quite careful in assessing if you can take on those soldiers, as they are quite strong. Well done!
Very good game, add some music and sound would be perfect
Nice game, clean art and easy to figure out. Did find it a bit hard as I think skeletons should auto attack and clicking them would not always register. Graves would sometimes miss raycast and no be able to cast resurrection.
Hey, very cool game, this can be easily continued with different types of monster, ennemies... Good work !
Cool Art, its nice that you kept it simple and polished it with a very simple scope. Seems bug free and does what you intended =)
Incredibly fun amassing an army of skeletons and setting fire to houses!
THe chess-piece style of the creatures is very fitting considering you're a lich and everyone is/can be your pawn.
Very Interesting, love the graphics style, although the game is difficult due to the speed that guards run at. good job man. Also, movement would have been better with WASD or arrow keys
Damn! This is funny! I really like the gameplay mechanics and I played a lot!
The graphic is clean and nice and the audio well suited!
The game is also a little difficult to beat! Well done! :D
Best game i've played so far. I'd welcome some tutorial on ressurecting, because I was smashing all enemies by my self and it seemed unbeatable.
Great job! :)
I didn't find it incredibly challenging, but this was mostly because I figured out that you can lure individual guards away from the others and pick them off one by one, so I had lots of skeleltons by the end. I still enjoyed it, though.
It took me a bit to figure out that you can order skeletons to attack but when I did it got way more fun.
The low poly art is pretty cool.
had a lot of fun with this, good job!
Great game! It was really challenging. Art was lovely too. I genuinely wanted to play more levels! top quality
THE UNDEAD PREVAIL! this was way more fun than expected...
Really nice game, loved it!
Really enjoyed this. It's a bit simplistic but I understand the restraints of a jam. It's something I was easily able to find funny and enjoyable.
That was a lot of fun, but I really couldn't beat it. Tried a few times and just can't figure out how to not lose three skeletons per guard. haha. Ah well, great job. :)
GG it's a copy of an older game, it runs and plays well.
Spooky
Scary and great idea, but it's too difficult.
Fun to play, not to difficult but still offers a challenge. I'd say this is my favorite entry of the ones I reviewed. Only problem is no music.
Simple but fun. I actually felt quite upset any time one of my zombies got killed >:(
Amazing work for just two days. Congrats!
Really cool, enjoyed this one!
low-poly art is awesome =)
I love the low poly art =) It's pretty fun but it would be awesome if there were a music.
This is a lot of fun and very much on theme :) Congrats :D
I like the art style you went with. It's simple, but effective. Cool game overall. Nice work!
I liked so much this entry, the guards really kicked me out! I'm gonna try it once again with full horde :P
Lovely art style and I liked all the units sliding around like miniatures :3 Interesting mechanics of building up your horde and attacking decisively. Impressive to make so much for a solo compo entry!
This was really fun, it took some time before i figured out how summoning worked but after that nobody could stop my undead army :)
I never knew I wanted a zombie army at my command until I played this game. Great concept!
Hey! Thanks for creating a game.
What we liked:
Having a big hoard of skeletons follow you around is really fun, and it was nice to be able to direct them where to attack. The art style was nice and the objectives (kill all the things) were clear from the start.
What could be improved:
It wasn't entirely clear how to direct the skellies to attack. Once I worked that out the game was really really easy. Fun, but very short. A bit of music would have really added some atmosphere to the game and the sounds were limited but worked well enough in the game.
It was really fun! And nice graphics too.
Really nice game. It remind me the level of Warcraft 3 where you play as Arthas and you need to slaughter infected citizens. You could add people inside the houses to make them interesting to destroy.
fun, nice design, clean game
Awesome virus-style game. Love these things. Was very satisfying building my army up and then crushing the castle! ;) Good job.
Really cool game! I like the direction you took with the theme, and you had very tight rts mechanics which I think I've seen so far who has managed to execute that correctly in Ludum Dare.
Really fun and challenging.
Actually reaction from zombie would have been cool in order to avoid mass murder by a poor soldier.
Could be more fun with archer and other kind of zombie, skeleton, and also upgrade for creature by choice or automatically with xp point when they fight.
It lack of screams and war sound great.
The undead prevail! I had fun, looks sweet, felt like a monster, good job!
This was really fun. I enjoyed the board game aesthetic.
Great low poly models and a nice clean environment. Simple controls and task, was fun to play. Did not hear any sounds at all, maybe a bug on Firefox for Mac not sure.
A few attack FX and some basic animations you could make a nice game from this, you got a good solid base to something bigger.
Well done.
Really nice graphics :D Loved the low-poly art.
nice, love the low poly style.
-CH
Clean, Smooth, well put together and really fun to play. Excellent Work :)
High scores all around, great work man.
Great game idea! loved the gameplay
The idea of playing a powerful lich on a quest to increase your power and is a lot of fun, everytime you kill one of those pesky guards or villagers and raise their skeleton to be added them to your army of darkness is a joy.
My main complaint would be the lack of some features like pathfinding for the skeletons and enemies and more enemy variety but that is understandable considering the time frame, the game obviously has a lot of potential to be expanded.
Cool game mate! I love the art style :P Super cool. Some music would add a lot. The gameplay was quite balanced too - I wasn't able to defeat the castle guard :P 4/5!
Loved that entry, the controls were simple and having a lot of skeletons felt powerful. Good job!
We had some very similar ideas about how to approach this theme :)
I dig the art style. It would be nice if the skeletons had a little autonomy or it was more clear that the skeletons were attacking something and not just standing around. Was there a point to burning down the houses, or was it just cool to do?
Very addictive game, it was super fun and I really enjoyed the game. Some replay value added to the game would be nice!
What a fun game! I love the way the games progresses, either you get stronger and stronger or you get wiped out and have to rebuild. Reminds me of my days of playing Diablo 2 with a necromancer :)
Nice Idea, and good game.
this game is hard. I liked gathering as much people as i could, but it was just so hard not to attract the guards before i was ready to fight them. :-)
Pretty fun game, balancing your army and such. A bit annoying when they got stuck on trees but I guess they are only mindless undead!
Pretty fun. Clicking to attack and walk was a bit awkward. satisfying to build up a horde. Liches are cool.
Really nice game! I included it in part 18 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/U5AMORGkiRk
haha I liked the gravestones :)
Enjoyable and polished entry :)
