Engaging minion command gameplay with a variety of undead units allowing for different playstyles and build customization.
Satisfying progression and upgrade systems including city building, equipment crafting, and ability upgrades.
Charming art style, humor, and a good mixture of action, strategy, and RPG elements that appeal to fans of summoner/necromancer games.

Loss of the original game’s core mechanic where you could raise any enemies killed, replaced by a more limited preset unit summon system.
Repetitive and sometimes grindy gameplay with limited replay value and uneven difficulty spikes, especially in mid-to-late stages.
Clunky AI and pathfinding for minions, some interface and control issues, and lack of polish in story and quest design.

The gameplay centers on controlling and customizing undead minions with a mix of summoning, strategic army-building, and base development mechanics. While some praise its solid core mechanics, variety of playstyles, and engaging customization, others find it simpler and less deep compared to its predecessor, with occasional repetitiveness and lack of challenge. Overall, it offers an enjoyable and accessible necromancer-themed experience, especially for fans of minion-control gameplay.
- “I really enjoy this game a few hours in and love the Overlord minion control type gameplay; I love that you can choose to be a frontline powerhouse or backline support summoner character.”
- “Gameplay on battles, strategies, builds, and unit combos improved a lot!”
- “Overall it feels like a more complete experience, rather than a goofy distraction, with deeper mechanics and more build customization, including skill trees, attributes, and item crafting.”
- “4) regressed gameplay.”
- “The content is limited and mechanics are underdeveloped.”
- “The horde mechanics are lackluster, and if you want anything stronger than skeletons or chickens, then you can barely call it a squad.”

The story is generally viewed as basic, flat, and somewhat lacking in depth or lore, with many finding it repetitive and short, offering low replayability. However, some players appreciate the lighthearted tone, humorous references, and the inclusion of multiple questlines with clear guidance. While not epic or deeply engaging, the story serves its purpose as a straightforward backdrop for gameplay.
- “This game does not feel like a continuation of Undead Horde's story either, with the characterization of our lead necromancer feeling so different; it's not the same world conqueror sealed long ago, and it's unclear what has spurred his change of heart.”
- “The story is about you being the last hope of the undead horde to restore and rebuild what is rightfully yours from these nasty humans who conquered and destroyed your crypt.”
- “The summoning mechanics and rebuilding necropolis are fun, and the story is good.”
- “The story is practically non-existent - 'living came in and took all the souls from Soulville, go murderize them in return and get the souls back.'”
- “This game does not feel like a continuation of Undead Horde's story either, with the characterization of our lead necromancer feeling so... different... It's not the same world conqueror sealed long ago, and it's unclear what has spurred his change of heart.”
- “Too repetitive, too boring, no lore about the world, no interesting story.”

- “Additionally, the pixel art graphics may not be appealing to everyone, but they are well-executed and add to the game's charm.”

- “Graphics resolution modes don't work.”
- “The game looks kind of like mobile graphics, but the depth of this open world is so big that I search for each secret spot to get all the achievements of the game.”

The game's humor is appreciated for its lighthearted, quirky, and sometimes subtle comedic touches, including Monty Python-style references and amusing callbacks, which add charm without becoming overwhelming.

Overall, the humor enhances the game's appeal, especially for players who enjoy a playful, cartoonish style.
- “The story is very basic and somewhat boring, but the memes scattered throughout made me laugh and smile, showing that the game doesn't take itself too seriously, which is a nice change of pace.”
- “One thing I'd like to highlight: the game also has a quirky sense of humor and a charming pixel art style that adds to its overall appeal.”
- “In conclusion, Undead Horde 2 offers a unique and enjoyable blend of action, strategy, and humor.”

Replayability is generally low, with most players unlikely to engage beyond a single playthrough aside from occasional nostalgia or New Game+ mode. While the challenge mode offers some additional content, it is not enough to significantly boost replay value compared to the first game.
- “Some players find replayability in challenging themselves with the "necrodome" arena or in New Game+, offering additional ways to enjoy the game beyond the first playthrough.”
- “The first game has great replay value, which adds to its appeal and keeps players coming back.”
- “Replay value is somewhat limited as the campaign can only be replayed in New Game+, which may not be sufficient for all players seeking extended content.”
- “Replayability is very low and the story is as short as in the first game.”
- “Replay value is a bit low since you can only play through the campaign in NG+ and that is, for me, not quite enough.”
- “Replay value is 0 though.”

Grinding in the game is somewhat tedious and time-consuming, involving repetitive tasks to gain experience and resources. While not overly bad, it can feel like simplified, prolonged micromanagement compared to similar games. Achievements, especially early on, may also require extended grinding sessions.
- “Take any Diablo game, then take the necromancer class from that game, dumb it down, then add a ton of tedious grinding and what you get is this game.”
- “That is where I spend 1.5 hours grinding enemies to get enough money (50k) but mostly to get enough experience to get to level 9.”
- “But the skeletons don't really keep up, and the micromanagement of how many of each type of unit is tedious.”
