Critic Reviews
Sword of the Necromancer Review – Undeath becomes her
Sword of the Necromancer is certainly no Hades, but it does stand out in the “dungeon-crawling rogue-lite” genre via its novel monster summoning system. Without this mechanic (or when you’re unlucky enough to be Player Two) you’d be left with a pretty standard hack’n’slash experience that never quite comes together. Between awkward inventory management, frustrating controls, and an overall level of polish that comes under-par, Sword of the Necromancer ends up leaning heavily on its summoning gimmick to stay enjoyable. Thankfully, launching an army of max-level Impchors at a boss is pretty entertaining if you’re willing to put in the work to get there.
