NecroCity: Prologue is a part of the full version of NecroCity and is completely free. The most important is that prologue allows you to get into the world of NecroCity so you will be fully ready before the final product release!
Welcome to NecroCity: Prologue, 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.

Can't say much about this game, as it kept breaking during the tutorial, so I never got to play it. It looked cool I guess. But that's the only nice thing I can say about it. Also, the writing was so bad, I had trouble understanding some things. I don't think they had a proper translator.

This game is AMAZING. It is so fun and it isn't even done yet? I cant wait to see what else gets added. <3 If there's anything I may ask to add? A little more time between waves and maybe more resources. I was getting attacked before I had any troops or towers ready and wouldn't have time to explore the map would have to restart Medical tent? or Morgue Tent, to heal troops in the area, maybe a dead doctor or a "Plague Doctor" to walk around and heal units and slight buffs. Spells? I saw the skill tree had some but I thought a lich could use at least one spell? Necromancer unit? can raise 2 weaker unarmored skelly? with upgrades it can get more like 4 or 5, and eventually the skelly's get some armor but not as strong as the main skelly's. The resource deposits are kinda crazy far away, either add both: more depots closer to the main castle Or, add a bunker / HQ / Outpost you can make it a cemetery building upgrades and room inside the building upgrades, like for example, you could make 6 bows and then get archer barracks on the castle, walls could get lava holes upgrades so resources expand work area Hero inventory Ideas for enemies and more allies / Counterparts / units Goblins …

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

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.
