Finnish developer 10tons has shared the news that its upcoming Switch release Undead Horde will arrive later this week on 15th May.

Receiving "very positive" reviews on Steam since its launch this March, Undead Horde is a combination of action-RPG, real-time strategy, and hack'n'slash genres. As you can see in the trailer above, this one stands out by having players resurrect the dead, going on to command them in all of their evil bidding.

There are true RPG-style features present, too, such as loot collecting, levelling up and questing. This synopsis should fill you in nicely:
