Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a forgiving campaign, since hunter deaths are permanent and a destroyed base ends the current run
- Players who prefer steady pacing, since battles become harder and more frequent farther from the base

Our take on Hunters Of The Dead
The game trades broad strategic scale for pressure centered on a base and a small hunter roster. Sending units to heal or train reduces the force available for defense at that moment, so preparation competes with immediate protection.
What is Hunters Of The Dead?
Hunters of the Dead combines survival, roguelike progression, tower defense, and hunter management.
Players rescue fellow hunters, explore buildings for resources, complete quests, and search for Dracula while defending a base from an undead army. Hunters can be sent to hospitals for healing or graveyards for training, but they cannot defend the base while assigned. Moving farther from the base brings tougher and more frequent battles. If the base falls, resources gathered can be spent on upgrades before restarting. The game includes permadeath, randomly generated cities, quests, weapons, and hunters, plus five hunter classes, 16 upgrades, two unlockable difficulty levels, and hunter management during battles and on the map.
