Lord of the Dead (2015)

Overview

“How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.” ― Bram Stoker, Dracula

Lord of the Dead is a tribute to the classic hex & counter microgames from the 70s & 80s such as Chitin: I, Rivets, and Ice War. In this game, you play an evil Lord of the Dead with vast necromantic powers, or a mob of common folk and farmers who have been alerted to his approach. Your object as the Lord of the Dead is to fight your way through the village and reach the cemetery, where you can raise an undead army. Your object as the townsfolk is to stop the villain from defiling your ancestral burial grounds and raising up his horrifying army.
