This update introduces a fusion of necromancy and rogue-lite horror, offering new content and features as requested by the community. Notably, the update includes the highly anticipated Vow of Deicide mode, which presents players with increased difficulty after defeating the final boss for the first time, providing a challenging experience where they can test their undead prowess against relentless adversaries.
Enhanced Gameplay Features
Apex Necromancy brings several notable additions to The Unliving, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. One of the new features is a radar system that highlights points of interest and guides players to the main path leading to each location’s boss. This addition streamlines the gameplay, ensuring players can navigate the game world more efficiently.
Another valuable inclusion is the introduction of a tracker, which displays the proximity of the next soul shard. This tracker optimizes gameplay further by aiding players in locating and collecting important resources.
