What would you do to bring back someone you love?
Turn your foes into allies using the forbidden powers of the Sword of the Necromancer and help Tama reach the dungeon's depths in order to gain enough power to bring Koko back from the dead.
Gather a little army of monsters, equip yourself with weapons and relics and level up to take on the guardians that stand between you and your objective.
Sword of the Necromancer is inspired by Rogue-like games like Enter the Gungeon, 2D Zelda games like A Link to the Past and monster-catching mechanics like those from Azure Dreams. The aim is to create a fluid battle system, with head-to-head combat as its main focus while leaning on monster summons for special actions and attacks.
Last month JanduSoft and Grimorio of Games launched a Kickstarter campaign for Sword of the Necromancer, and with three days to go (ends May 8th), has surpassed 900% of its funding goal, and has already reached all of its stretch goals.
The stretch goals include new game modes (Colosseum Mode, Boss Rush, Dungeon Builder), remastered music, a song by Dale North (Wizard of Legend, Nintendo Minute) and Emi Evans (Nier Series, Dark Souls) and even an animated opening!
