Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon crawler with elements of a roguelike, in which we play the hero who intends to fight a sinister necromancer and bring back to life his dead beloved. Before he can do this, however, the protagonist has to travel through vast underground areas and confront enemy troops.
Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon crawler enriched with roguelike elements. The game was developed by the independent studio Grimorio of Games.
Sword of the Necromancer takes us to a fantasy world. The main character of the game is a warrior named Tama, who lost his beloved - Koko. The protagonist decides venture deep into the dark dungeons to kill the sinister necromancer and, with the power thus acquired, bring his beloved back to life.
The action in Sword of the Necromancer is shown from bird's eye view. We explore the procedurally generated dungeons and engage in dynamic battle;in addition to standard opponents, we also have to face powerful bosses. We use a variety of weapons in combat, including the eponymous sword, which enables us to resurrect our slaughtered adversaries to fight alongside us. As we progress, we gain more and more powerful equipment; in addition, we gain experience points and level up, improving protagonist's stats.
In contrast to classic roguelikes, the game does not feature permadeath mechanics. Yes, after death we lose all the equipment we have gained, but we keep half the experience points we have acquired. In addition, at certain moments we can leave the dungeon, although by doing this we will lose all gained EXP (although in this case we keep all our equipment).
Sword of the Nemcromancer features simple two-dimensional pixel-art graphics.

Game Ratings for Sword of the Necromancer Video Game.
Softpedia: 7.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
The development team clearly understands how important is to ground players into a narrative. But they need to make sure that there's deeper integration between the world and the gameplay to create a successful rogue-lite. Right now Sword of the Necromancer is like one of its monsters, intriguing at first but quickly dropped when it no longer seems useful.
COGconnected: 66 / 100 by Alexander Thomas
If you are looking for a nice, light rogue-like to jump into that doesn’t feel mindless, this is the game for you.
Just Push Start: 2.5 / 5 by Grant E. Gaines
For the most part, Sword of the Necromancer is decent fun in a rather flawed package. I can't imagine anyone could have fun playing with decreased levels and losing gear since even without that stuff it isn't particularly amazing. Toss in lazy enemy names, kiddie pool level depth, and a generic story, and Sword of the Necromancer falls short of where you want to be. Especially when there are so many other games that handle rogue-like elements better. Maybe if it goes on a deep sale it might be worth it but at full price, it's a hard sell.
