Welcome to NecroCity, a mix of city building, strategy and tower defense. Defend your undead outposts from the persistent forces of the so-called “good”! Show those living what rattles your bones with an army of skeletons! Show your older brother that you are no longer a child! File your taxes!
That’s right, take on the role of the young Prince of Undead, trying to prove himself. Expand the bureaucratic glory of the Undead Kingdom across all the lands by establishing new outposts. Summon workers, mine bones, capture souls, and protect your Ziggurat at all costs. Place traps, employ ghosts and skeletons, use magic, add mods to spice things up, or ask your friends - Ghouls to help you out. It is up to you to pick the best strategy!
All is quiet in the Undead Kingdom, the land of order and structure, ruled by the bureaucratic Lich King. That is until his younger brother sets out to prove his worth and accidentally gets way over his head. Help the young Prince establish new outposts across the vibrant world and defend them from the stubborn heroes and other varying forces of good.
Build your outposts on varied grid-based maps. Summon adorable skeleton workers to gather and produce resources, and power your building with (Necro)Energy™.

Explore the area, adapt to your surrounding and be prepared to face waves of enemies. Use active pause in the game to develop a strategy. Build extravagant defences, using walls to route your enemies and strategically placing traps. Turn your workers into deadly soldiers by building barracks and towers. Strengthen your defences even further with a range of passive buildings and mods.
With a unique system of mods, you can change the way your very defences work. Add chain lightning to your fireballs or use your enemies’ very own life force to heal your soldiers! Or why not both? Mix and match different mods to better suit the situation you found yourself in.
Meet and befriend a cast of interesting characters. And then send them to fight for you on a field of battle! Discover new allies, listen to them bicker, learn their abilities and upgrade them to make them stronger. Pick when to deploy and use their skills since good timing can turn around the course of a fight.

✦ AI summary

Players report significant frustration with progression and balance issues, particularly difficulty spikes in later stages where resource constraints make objectives feel impossible to complete. While the game offers an interesting dark fantasy twist on RTS gameplay with decent visuals and straightforward mechanics, it suffers from rough translation, UI problems, and unclear explanations that combine with apparent bugs to make the experience feel unfinished and not worth the asking price.

Not recommended Feb 16, 2025
I don't know if its a bug or what, but its basically unwinnable by stage 5. It wants you to summon a hero unit, but doesn't give you the resources to do that.

Despite the name, it's more of a traditional RTS (AoE, SWGB. RoN) than an actual city-builder; levels are mission-based with no long-term progression, your resources are limited to specific spots on the map that you cannot change, and enemies spawn in waves at pre-set intervals. When viewed through this lens, it's not a bad little piece; translation is rough, UI is a bit of a mess, and explanations for some mechanics are lacklustre, but the graphical styling is nice and the gameplay is pretty straightforward (for better or worse). For $10, I really don't think it deserves "Mixed".

NecroCity is a hybrid strategy game developed by Shift Games and published by Gameparic, Games Incubator, and PlayWay S.A., combining city-building mechanics with real-time strategy and tower defense elements. Set in a dark fantasy world populated by skeletons, necromancers, and undead creatures, the game places players in the unusual role of defending an evil empire rather than fighting against it. Instead of heroic knights and noble kingdoms, the player commands the forces of darkness, constructing fortified settlements and repelling waves of invading “good” heroes determined to purge the undead from the land. This inversion of the usual fantasy narrative gives the game a playful sense of humor and helps establish its distinctive identity. The story follows a young undead prince who happens to be the younger brother of the powerful Lich King. Eager to prove himself worthy of his family’s legacy, the prince is assigned the task of expanding and defending territories on the edge of the undead kingdom. While the prince possesses ambition and enthusiasm, he lacks experience, and much of the campaign revolves around his attempts to learn the art of leadership while facing increasingl…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
