About Sword of the Necromancer

✦ AI summary

Delve into a monster-filled dungeon with the Sword of the Necromancer, reviving defeated enemies to build an army and fight alongside you as you battle toward resurrection. Roguelike progression, procedurally-generated weapons, and local co-op action combine with an emotional story of love and forbidden power.

What would you do to bring back someone you love?

Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon-crawler action RPG with Rogue-like elements where you can revive your defeated enemies to make them fight alongside you.

Turn your foes into allies using the forbidden powers of the Sword of the Necromancer and help Tama reach the dungeon's depths in order to gain enough power to bring Koko back from the dead.

Gather a little army of monsters, equip yourself with weapons and relics and level up to take on the guardians that stand between you and your objective.
  • Turn your foes into allies: use the Sword of the Necromancer to revive defeated monsters and make them fight alongside you.
  • Gather weapons and relics: each weapon is different from the others thanks to the procedural weapon generation system, which gives them various effects and attributes.
  • Fight with all your might: defeat your enemies using a variety of weapons and objects and dominating the fluid head-to-head battle system.
  • Level up: enhance your character by fighting enemies and upgrade your stats. Improve your summoned monsters by fighting alongside them.
  • Death is not the end: Each try gets you closer to the Necromancer. You will lose all your equipped weapons and monsters, but you will retain half the level you achieved in your run.
  • Learn the truth: Discover Tama and Koko's past as you advance through the dungeon.
  • Local co-op play: Use the Flask of Homunculus to create a copy of the playable character and play with a friend in local co-op game.

"Legend says that, deep within these mountains, a heretic decided to violate the will of the gods in order to achieve eternal life.

The heretic succeeded in this aberrant attempt, and created a tool for forbidden rituals that could grant immortality… and even bring back the dead.

Over the years and centuries many have tried to get that power for themselves, but all they found in the Necromancer’s crypt was their demise.

They say that the tool the Necromancer created is also a weapon…

The Sword of the Necromancer
”

Tama is a former rogue that is tasked to escort the priestess Koko in her pilgrimage around the continent. During their travel Koko dies, and Tama carries the corpse to the Necromancer's crypt, where legends say there dwells a power that may resurrect the dead.

Filled with despair, Tama will enter the dungeon with the aim of obtaining the forbidden power of necromancy, ignoring the dangers that lurk in the shadows.

This game is genuinely unfun. Wdym "roguelike"? Not one mechanic that is at least rogue adjacent. I've played tons of dungeon crawlers by now and this gotta be one of the worst. Prove that not every Indie game is good. Reviving your enemies sounds nice, but the execution is completely botched. You revive one, use it, it gains a few levels and dies either within the run or at the boss. Only way to not lose it is not to use it. Ok so for the boss you need to do your meelee attack anyway. But meelee sucks in this game. Constantly soft targeting an enemy I am not fighting (like an add instead of the boss), dumb triple attack combo that does 0 damage. At first I wanted to struggle through and git gud but like come on. This is not worth it, it's just not fun in general. Don't buy this. Go play Moonlighter, or Cult of the Lamb or Hades, or Wizard of Legend. These are at least fun to play.

[b]Sword of the Necromancer[/b] is a really fun little dungeon crawler with a great mix of action, exploration and summoning. You can summon any creature you killed to fight beside you! The story is weird but has some good voice acting. The pixel art and atmosphere are also really nice. Simple, addictive and well worth playing if you enjoy dungeon crawlers! The credits list is looooong...

I just don't understand why it's even an option to drop the sword of the Necromancer on the ground and replace it with some random trash item. That's the core mechanic of the game? They don't really want you to summon it seems. They take up one of your only 4 items slots, one being the Sword of the Necromancer itself, which is needed to summon, so you are basically only working with 3 slots. That include consumables, and ANY other equipment including passive gear. I just really don't understand the thinking on that. It makes it more difficult I guess??? In a very unfun way. You also lose everything upon death, but not in the fun rouge-like sense. You can squirrel them away if you survive runs, so you are decreasing the potential of the next one, instead of building up. This game needs an overhaul.

The gimmick gets boring fast, especially because the mob AI is so bad.
