Our take on Praise Dead
Its focus on automated combat and minion placement reduces direct tactical control during battles. The design instead puts decision-making into preparation, resource assignments, relic combinations, and progression between ritual attempts.
What is Praise Dead?
Praise Dead combines roguelike runs, automated battles, and worker placement.
Zombies are assembled from parts taken from villagers and monsters, then sent against demon attacks or assigned to resource locations. Their attributes, including strength and dexterity, affect mining, food production, and recruiting villagers. Relics grant bonuses for gathering, combat, or summoning, with more than 50 relics available to combine. Four necromancers offer different starting relics and play styles. Meta progression can be unlocked to make later ritual levels easier and support further customization. Village development depends on placing minions where their abilities produce the greatest return.
