![]() So, basically, those interested in playing a lot or have issues beating the story, can collect specific pieces of gear, give them a marginal boost, and if you’re playing as intended, have a single run where you might win due to better gear. Resurrected monsters, the actual sword of the necromancer, and certain resources like my four attribute grimoire do nothing. To make matters more fun, only specific items found on runs and put into your inventory can be upgraded. Of those I can add to a weapon, most of them are negative attributes like damage -50 percent. After two successful runs and quite a few unsuccessful ones, I had the ability to craft roughly six attributes out of a possible 60 or so. These can be used to enhance gear at the forge at the start of the dungeon, though the sheer amount of resources is baffling, to say the least. For example, pots, boxes, and other breakable items in rooms can give you resources. ![]() After a couple of failures, this can be disabled, which I strongly suggest doing, it makes the poor choices even more confusing. If you play the intended way, each unsuccessful run results in equipped items being lost, along with half of the levels you obtained. Not just because of how unenjoyable it is but due to the sheer number of conflicting elements. At times it can feel generic or unoriginal, but this is the least of Sword of the Necromancer’s problems.Īs a huge fan of Roguelike games, such as Enter the Gungeon and to a lesser extent Dead Cells, Sword of the Necromancer I found myself disappointed by this experience. Progression unlocks more to the story, ultimately explaining everything before and after where the game began. Motivated by love, Tama tries to transverse the crypt in hopes of bringing back Koko but gets more than she bargained for. Sword of the Necromancer starts with Tama coming to a crypt where a Necromancer is said to have the power to, well, bring back the dead. Sword of the Necromancer combines action-RPG with rogue-like and throws in some necromancing for a neat combo, though is it enough to sell the concept? They can’t market themselves as a major experience like an AAA can, nor do they have established mechanics to guarantee sales or franchise to cash in on, so they live and die based on how fun or unique they are. I love playing games from smaller developers because they tend to bring a lot to the table.
