hello everyone and welcome to action rpg i'm your host aaron and for today's video we're headed to the world of the unliving now this is a game that i have made multiple videos on in the past i talked about the demo i talked about when it's releasing i streamed it a few times but that was months and months and months ago so i thought it's time to revisit it now the reason why i've come back to this game one i absolutely love necromancers they are pretty much my favorite class across all action rpgs or mmos on top of that we now have a new updated demo for the game and we have a release date in october so october 2022 this year the unliving is coming and we have this new demo so we're gonna check out a run right now and see what is different because this game did have a lot of flaws in the past as far as ai wasn't very smart the controls weren't very good a lot of crashes and problems with it so we're gonna see if it's any better now before we begin before we start this rogue run hoping today is the day i have earned your subscription moment today is the day you make the decision to push that little red button i would really appreciate it help just the channel forward in 2022 we have a goal of 20 000 subs and we are less than 2 000 away channel's been on fire i would appreciate it alright we go so first thing right off the bat when you log in and again this is the new demo you can go to steam right now the unliving and download it for free your new kind of cave i started exploring and it took me a second to realize oh what are all these markings on the ground the ground of your starting location is a new passive skill tree see it all on there all the little engravings and stuff and then this is where you go if you want to start you don't have to hit a button you just highlight over the portal so here's your little starting skills or passives and then as you go you come over here like i've already unlocked a few and then as you can see here if i had two of these green things right now i've only got one i could hit r and it would take us to the next level which is this okay so right off the bat the game is already better because there is a progression system now i would consider this game a rogue like and i know there's a lot of rogues out there but roguelike with rogue light elements because of this new progression system so we will have to wait and see how robust that really is all right let's go play video stand on your portal loading now i will say i don't want to just like degrade the game right at the beginning it has crashed on me twice which isn't a good sign because this game was kind of unstable in the past so i mean that's not a great sign okay here we go you got our little skulls here you hit r you are a necro this is a game focused around your minions now if you haven't played this you can control your minions i want you to go there nah go there nah go there not just follow me okay on top of that and when you highlight over one of your minions it shows up a little ring around it and then it's like a little skull pulsating or you know i look at it like you're gonna eat them if i right click right now i can blow up a minion which would be kind of like a mobile corpse explosion which will do damage to enemies now depending on what minion you raise when you blow them up different minions do different things so if it's like a high-end big n or um big minion that you raised they're gonna do a special skill when you blow them up if you have a little healing minion it's going to be casting and when you blow it up it's going to heal all yours the point is because there's a lot more to it than literally just running around with your minions now when you come across one of these i don't think of it like as a heart you know go over it hit r and on here it's going to give you a couple of options and now this is completely random you never know what is going to pull up sacrificial rune hurls nearby bones into the living this is a yeah sacrificial rune or a spell sacrifice to undead without spending life force the sacrifice reduces produces no ash so we will take trap knowledge all right so now this is over here this is uh minion skills your skills which my face is covered alright so let's go shoot some dogs yeah die die you die run okay so every time you kill an enemy they got this little green skull that pops up you hit r and your army is bigger go get them now a lot of the times enemies that shoot and hurl things will attack you and not your minions something to think about all right our army is getting massive all right so let's float this fence so that we can get to them i learned really early on a lot of times you're just running around and you find yourself trapped in by the fence and then they just murder you and go get him go get him come on see there's a little glitch here see this some reason my minions will not attack see whatever reason they're stuck by the trap by the fence i think that's a pathing issue the minions want to attack them up or uh down to up when they should be going left to right i don't like that all right let's keep going are they guarding anything up here no i want those guys yep so first little glitch not good all right how about down here lucius we have they have a little sorcerer sorceress there i want that corpse all right thank you until the whole blue is dead so you cannot revive the corpses until you've killed the whole pack okay so i'm going to show you this right now see how a lot of my minions are dying i got the little healer one sacrificed him or her and it helped give them some life do we want that big one go get him this is one of those games where you just feel like you see so much potential get him eat him i could shoot two archers out of energy all right minions got him shoot one left got him now we get the big boy i'm out of minions until everyone dies uh run away dude i'm one hit away from death i got nothing left gonna stick and move probably should have been more careful earlier him oh no no get back here oops are glueing up come on follow me go a different direction is there a different direction backtrack a little bit here oh come back they're on the hunt for life all right get away dog shoot that dog oh all right get in there oh my gosh that was a terrible run oh okay that was honestly horrible absolutely dreadful i'm gonna try one more quick run obviously not very good at this game not very good for being a necro fanatic all right and spell spell sacrificially i'm gonna try to really focus on not dying this time all right to me taking no damage stick and move now i played this game before on the old demo where i literally had an army of like it would felt like a hundred i'm gonna do better this time the archers in the back all right got a chest gold gold is good if you come across a vendor in the game all right this is better we got fighters in the front archers in the back no way is it a glitch part of the game look at this look at this well [Applause] thoughts on the unliving this game is coming out in october in its current state it's not ready think about this for a second i have played this game decent amount today game has crashed twice and now while recording this kind of not really first impression but update video we see this i can't recommend it yet lots of potential continue to work on pathing continue to work on minion ai and please please get the game stable beyond living until i tell you otherwise don't download this game what does everybody think is it a good concept i feel like i wasted your time or maybe i didn't waste your time because now you won't waste your time playing it let me know your thoughts in the comment section below look at that we had a decent little army there too 23 undead anyways if you haven't had a chance to check out my patreon please take a look it other than subbing financially wise that is the best way to support me you become a vip in my discord you get in the kind of special little group direct access to me depending on the tier we could play games together we can make content together you get to check out the weekly blog
