Gamers take the role of Taka, who has ventured deep into the mountains in a desperate search to find the power of the Necromancer, and return her beloved Koko to life, no matter the cost.
In this way, Sword of the Necromancer begins with a tale as old as time itself. The game does have a soundtrack that fits both the concept and the mechanics.Loss can be one of the most powerful driving forces in the world, and media regarding this is plentiful, from the much beloved Shadow of the Colossus to the recent Avengers: Endgame, those suffering from the loss of a loved one can often be driven to fantastic and desperate measures. The story cutscenes are also limited and the fonts used for the dialogue are somehow out of place. But there’s little in the way of beauty or charm for the world and moving across the dungeons means seeing the same layouts again and again. The main character and her enemies have clear visual identities and are kind of cute. Sword of the Necromancer is a very retro-looking game, clearly designed to appeal to those nostalgic for titles launches around twenty years ago. This makes the game more varied and exciting but also seems to lead to quicker deaths. I tried to use just the sword and only rely on monsters for the other three slots. This means that it’s almost always at most one monster that can be used in battle. There are also powerful other items that can be obtained and upgraded. The sword uses one, a bow or another longer reach weapon is almost a necessity. But they also die relatively quickly if the player does not back them up or when they face one of the end-level bosses (who almost universally have cool designs).īut the biggest problem is that the four action slots are too limited. Monsters can even become more capable as they gain experience, making them even more useful. There’s quite a bit of narrative in the game, focused on the interactions between the two, but the dialogue is a little limited and the two characters never become very interesting during the short story cutscenes. She dies and the main character needs to use the titular sword and its death-defying power to make things right. She also has a bond with a royal priestess called Koko.
The main character of the story is an adventurer named Tama, who has a past as a thief. I played the game via Steam but it is also available on the Nintendo Switch and all available versions of the Xbox line from Microsoft and the PlayStation from Sony. Sword of the Necromancer is an action rogue-lite created by Grimorio of Games and published by JanduSoft. The fight is not hopeless but my allies are almost certainly toasted and I don’t know how easy it will be to replace them. As I evaluate my ideas the character I control continues slashing with his own sword and dashing around to avoid attacks. I drop my bat ally, hoping that it will keep at last one of them busy, and then contemplate using a knight I have stashed for emergencies.
A weird sorcerer is trying to fling fireballs at me, a slime is moving around lobbing green go towards my allies, and I can’t decide which one to deal with first.
