In all, Sword of the Necromancer is a fun roguelite with a heartfelt story. The usage of the titular blade adds a whole new layer to the roguelite genre, in that gamers will need to strategize about what enemies to take out first in order to have them fight on their side. If the genre interests you but you need a good story to feel at all invested, then this game is for you.

Overall, Sword of the Necromancer is a rewarding roguelike that not only puts women in front and center of the game, but their love for one another is what fuels the game’s very existence. It’s the perfect blend of dungeon crawler and visual novel, and I sincerely hope that Grimorio of Games continues to create such rich, and fulfilling games like this one.

Sword of the Necromancer is a gem of a game. While visually it can look a little repetitive, the game is honestly a ton of fun. I think this one may be a game people remember for a long time.

Sword of the Necromancer es un fantástico e innovador roguelike que cuenta la historia de amor entre dos mujeres que deberán luchar por salir adelante en la cripta del nigromante.

Sword of the Necromancer manages to bring something new to the flooded rogue-like genre while providing a heartwarming story. It has a multitude of options to allow players to tailor the game to their liking. It’s breadth of mechanics allow for tons of experimentation that will keep you coming back until you finally get the true ending.

Sword of the Necromancer je chytľavé akčné RPG, ktoré má síce jednoduchú grafiku a hrateľnosť je po čase repetetívna, no aj napriek tomu obsahuje veľmi vydarený a svieži prvok vyvolávania padlých nepriateľov do boja. Ak nejakú príšeru zabijete, môžete si ju vyvolať do boja na svoju stranu, čo má za následok zábavné boje a zaujímavé taktizovanie. Príbeh je tiež neokukaný a celkovo sa jedná o príjemnú indie hru.

Sword of the Necromancer is a game that will scratch a very particular itch for fans of rogue-lite experiences that feature more narrative than the genre is known for. The gameplay mechanics deliver one cool idea, the monster resurrection, but fail to make full use of it, especially when players need to deal with bosses or the more capable enemies of later levels. I wanted the game to give me more reasons to use the monsters I revived, to understand them, to build strategies around the ones I chose to carry around.

Although Sword of the Necromancer has a number of unequivocal blemishes, the core concept of summoning fallen creatures and having them fight alongside you is rather compelling. Fortunately, Grimorio of Games seems responsive to player feedback, and has already added an optional bag to assist with inventory management. If the team can work on AI pathfinding, Sword of the Necromancer might not be sorcery, but does have its charms.

Está claro que no es perfecto, y que tiene ciertos puntos que podrían ser mejorados. Pero también hay que reconocer que todo lo que hace lo hace bien, posee buenas ideas como la necromancia. Y todo con sencillez, con coherencia, y bajo un universo que nos ayuda a meternos de lleno una bonita historia de amor con un encanto muy especial.

Sword of the Necromancer is a fun roguelike, with a unique enemy revival system that sets it apart from other titles in the genre. Unfortunately, a lacklustre combat system and unoriginal story mean that it doesn't quite match up to the absolute best roguelikes out there.

Overall, what Sword of the Necromancer may lack when it comes to a unique visual design and level variety, it makes up for with the narrative hook and satisfying monster-summoning combat. Whether you’re hacking your way through your foes using weapons or a carefully selected menagerie of monsters, combat feels good and you’re only ever one boss away from more story content. With player-assists now available for those who would prefer a tough hack-and-slash experience, and several upgrades that improve the flow of the roguelike experience, it’s easier to progress without long slogs between new narrative beats. Make no mistake, it’s still a tough game that’ll punish you for reckless play, but the gameplay now feels more in line with the developers narrative ambitions.

Sword Of The Necromancer es un buen juego, tiene sus fallos, pero, aun así, logra ser una experiencia más que disfrutable. Sumérgete en la mazmorra del nigromante y lucha junto a tus enemigos para salvar la vida de Koko y dar un final feliz a una hermosa historia de amor.

Sword of the Necromancer is undoubtedly built upon a solid foundation but it lacks the level of complexity necessary for repeated playthroughs that its predecessors and colleagues have in spades. With a needlessly repetitive storyline and an extremely limited inventory, this rogue-like relies too heavily on faulty AI that renders revived monster allies helpless while doing little to facilitate alternate playstyles. Sword of the Necromancer is visually pleasing and functionally operable, but I question its longevity when compared to current industry standards.

If you are looking for a 2D dungeon crawler with some rogue-lite options, Sword of the Necromancer might just scratch that itch, but for me the legend didn’t quite live up to what I had hoped.

To enjoy Sword of the Necromancer requires you to be invested in the narrative, but to do that, you’ll have to get through gameplay that lacks many refinements that a roguelike needs. The system of bringing monsters back alive to fight for you is limited because you have to manage only four slots of items, which often shadows the game’s most unique systems. As charming as this game looks, it doesn’t ever become a challenging adventure or an interesting experience.

Sword of the Necromancer macht wirklich Spaß, kann aber mich persönlich nicht bei Laune halten, was einfach daran liegt, dass ich nach einer ganzen Weile die Lust verloren habe, das Spiel immer wieder von Anfang an spielen zu müssen. Stirbt man beim dritten Endgegner, darf man den ersten und zweiten Endgegner erneut spielen, da sämtlicher Fortschritt verloren geht. Wäre die Geschichte darin so spannend erzählt wie das Intro begonnen hat, wäre es vielleicht noch tragbar, so war es allerdings doch eine Tortur. Wem das aber nichts ausmacht und Dungeon-Crawler mit Rogue-Lite Elementen liebt, sollte dem Spiel eventuell eine Chance geben und zumindest die Demo bzw. den Prologe spielen, der kostenlos auf Steam erhältlich ist. Hier bekommt man schon einen guten Eindruck, was einen so erwartet.
