Our take on Undeadly
The systems-driven structure trades a defined campaign progression for an open-ended survival mode. Custom builds, weapon combinations, and configurable settings provide variety, but the experience centers on repeated strategic experiments rather than a fixed story arc.
What is Undeadly?
Undeadly is a turn-based survival strategy game about directing a group of survivors through a reality altered by unexplained phenomena.
Each turn advances time, so daylight can be used to gather supplies, prepare defenses, and employ survivor abilities before undead attacks begin at night. Dangerous rifts appear across the landscape, creating hazards and opportunities. Combat options include custom ammunition made from modular payloads and augments, plus configurable triggers for grenades, mines, and bear traps. Ability tokens let survivors take different combinations of roles, such as blending scavenging and medical skills. The current mode is an open-ended freeplay survival experience built around testing different strategies. Gameplay settings can be adjusted, and text-based configuration files provide additional customization.
