Game developers JanduSoft S.L and Grimorio of Games are pleased to announce that monster summoning action roguelike Sword of the Necromancer will be launching on December 10th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions will follow later.
Sword of the Necromancer is a top-down action roguelike with a unique twist: you can resurrect any enemy you kill as an undead minion to fight alongside you! On top of that, there’s a fluid combat system with a smorgasbord of weapons and gear to choose from. As you descend this procedurally-generated dungeon you’ll have to weigh the consequences of what armaments to equip as you amass your army of the undead!
As you descend this procedurally-generated dungeon, you’ll have to make some tough, tactical decisions. Should you fall in battle you’ll lose all your gear and half of your level, so be careful! And if you’re really feeling adventurous, you can clone yourself, allowing for a friend to jump in for some two-player local co-op.
Features as shared on Steam
