About Necrolance
The King of Nangarth is Missing!
The Dark Necromancer has risen from the grave and has plans on taking over the land of Nangarth! The King of Nangarth has gone missing so it is up to you to find him and defeat the Dark Necromancer once and for all! Be warned young warrior, the necromancer is fierce and has sent his best servant, The Great Dark Warrior Thorg of Winstin, to do his bidding. Armed with your trusted lance and whatever weapons you may find, it is up to you to overcome all the fiends that Thorg and the necromancer put in your way. The fate of the world depends on you. Are you up to the challenge?
Gameplay
Necrolance is a single player, 2D platformer based off the style of a Gameboy Color game. In the game you play as both the protagonist and as the necromancer’s knight, Thorg. The protagonist’s campaign is more action based whereas Thorg’s campaign is slightly more puzzle based (only slightly). In the protagonist’s campaign, you are given a lance as your main weapon and can carry a secondary weapon. Secondary weapons are typically dropped by weapon wielding enemies that you defeat (either from mini-bosses or normal enemies). In addition to wielding different weapons, you can also buy upgrades throughout the game with currency that you collect through the levels.

Basic but bretty blayable5 found this helpful
Necrolance is a fun little chill game! It's very reminiscent of retro games from the Gameboy era and there's absolutely nothing wrong that! The controls are extremely tight, the levels are fair, expansive, and have a bit of exploration. Multiple items to find, weapons to use, and another character to master! Definitely a GREAT pickup for the price.

it's ok
Necrolance is a fantasy themed 2D retro pixel platformer, one of thousands polluting Steam. This one has you running around with a stick that you can charge through blocks with, and there's boss fights and stuff. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution is locked and can't be changed. While this is far from the worst 2D retro pixel platformer I've suffered through, as a genuine attempt to make a game seems to have taken place, it's still very low quality and too hard to recommend.
Not bad!
