About Hands of Necromancy II
Will you once again don the mantle of the original Necromancer and prove his supremacy, or will you play as the new female up and comer, to show the world the true meaning of the word “power”? Each character has their own distinct weapons, spells, transformation abilities, as well as personality!
No matter your choice, the journey will be difficult and fraught with danger, taking you through stunning landscapes - an ancient castle, an arid desert wasteland, a picturesque village and a dreary cave, just to name a few - each brimming with untold threats! Wield enchanted weapons, cast powerful spells and destroy hordes of enemies, only to raise them as undead servants to aid you in battle, as any true Necromancer would!
Fan-favourite spells from the original game return - the Tornado Spell that hurls enemies into the air, the Ring of Ice that will encase them in frost, and the Unholy Hand Grenade to blast them into oblivion; but the new character also brings her own unique arsenal - a life-draining Dagger, a fireball-spewing Bracelet of Fire, and a Hell Grenade that splits into smaller grenades, over a huge area of effect.
As you grow stronger, you will gain the ability to transform into fearsome monsters with not just brutal attack abilities, but also special powers that help you to traverse and explore your surroundings – slithering through tight spots, breathing underwater, walking over lava or even flying!

Disappointing how the new character's morphs and arsenal aren't as fun to use as the original character's, since most of them are visually superior. A rare case where fun matters more than beauty. Well, she reminded me of my stupid second ex semi-girl/boyfriend anyway, so at least I have a real excuse not to play as her. This one still doesn't have proper checkpoints, but at least this time I didn't get lost often, since it's a lot more linear compared to the first game. And it's just as fun (since I prefer using the same old character, of course.) It'd be better if it was an expansion for the first game, since it's still exactly the same game, except with a new character with new morphs, three new chapters, four new items and a few new enemies, but whatever.2 found this helpful
not very fun. levels a mazes easy to get lost in needing endless backtracking. enemies are great at pathfinding and hitting you, but become useless after you necro them. constant ammo shortage even on easy. it just throws endless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at you to make sure you don't enjoy yourself.1 found this helpful
More of the same except no metroidvania and a new character to play as. Again, can’t wait for Egyptian retro FPS Profaned.1 found this helpful
More of an expansion of the original rather than a sequel. It's more linear and hence more combat focused which is not exactly a good thing as it's just mediocre here (it plays identically to the previous one). It's more like Heretic than the original's Hexen, so if you want this kind of experience the game is cheap and long enough to warrant it's recommendation.
Its good
Didn't get to play the first, but this one is great. The combat flow makes spells feel punchy, the necromancy mechanic is novel and well integrated, and the puzzle mechanics add shapeshifting to keep things interesting (w/ metroidvania style level progression).
