Never Mourn

Yet another abandonware Early Access scam.

[h1][b] TLDR: Good early necromancer gameplay, but being abandoned in Early Access means you should avoid this. [/b] [/h1] [h1]PROS: [/h1] ➕Has some great necromancer gameplay [h1]CONS: [/h1] ➖Abandoned in Early Access (?) ➖Very clearly in a beta state [h1] [b] Final Verdict – [EA/10] [/b] [/h1] Another prime example of the risks of funding a game in Early Access is Never Mourn, which has seemingly been abandoned. This is a shame, because the few games I played, it has some neat features that I really liked. The necromancer-style gameplay is great here. Shifting constantly between offensive spells to take down priority targets then swapping over to healing to maintain your army or spawn in new minions, this is a good gameplay foundation that I’d love to see expanded upon. Unfortunately, the game is very clearly in a beta state. Typos everywhere, UI is barebones, animations, monsters clipping through environment….and it looks like most of this will never be resolved. As far as I can tell, devs mentioned an update coming at the end of 2025, then its been radio silence for months. No update in ~18 months. Even their Discord is pretty dead. This is an easy avoid, as it seems…

Abandonware. Showed promise

idk if they are working on the game. looks to be abandoned. i have a few issues. the spells suck. many of them activate a targeting mechanic. this slows you down. you cannot do anything while targeting except pick target. if you try to cast prior to having a target, nothing will happen. then if you keep pressing it nothing will happen permanently even if you have a target. it gets stuck. someone coded a targeting mechanic to only make the game worse. just do nothing. only do something if a target is available. that way, i can avoid being slowed. i can avoid being locked in a do nothing mode. and i can avoid the other issue of trying to switch the other staff mode, which is the only way out of the targeting mode. but you are constantly trying to figure out wtf you need to press. do i need to press switch staff mode twice, then the spell twice to cast the spell? oh wait, i did that too fast. the game didnt see the target. now i cannot cast even with a target. small cast, nothing happens. switch staff 3 times now to exit lock mode, switch staff mode, switch back. it is just garbage. there are spells that there is no target mode for. make all spells like that. …

feels bad to put this as negative cause it showed a ton of promise, for a summary of the game its kinda like if pikmin was a roguelike. that said, the last news from the devs was back in September of last year with the devs saying 1.0 was 'coming soon' only to be here now, which tbh even if disregarding if the 1.0 had come out when they said the game just hasn't had a lot of additions when it comes to variety

Its been 16 months, its safe to say the game is abandoned, which is a shame as the next update was supposed to be 1.0.
