Overall, I enjoyed reviving the fallen enemies to aid me in battle and the score for this game is pretty good. Sword of the Necromancer has some interesting ideas but it doesn’t quite come together to stand tall against other titans in the roguelike genre. The combat lacks satisfaction and the game feels a little light on items in the build I played. It feels like there is more to come though with potential future updates. Maybe with time, it will become more than just a good roguelike experience.

Sword of the Necromancer certainly had potential, however, in the state the game is in, it is difficult to recommend it. Looks like the game is in its early stages of development, as it seems to be incomplete and without knowing very well its reason for existing. Aside from the story and the main idea of summoning defeated monsters, very little of the game is worthy, which is a shame.

For a game that is so focused on telling a compelling story, the use of roguelike mechanics in Sword of Necromancer not only feels out of place but also drags the game down to a point which only the most invested or stubborn ones will reach the ending.

Even though this roguelike RPG isn’t above average, it does a great and welcome job in how it normalises the relationship between its main characters.

Sword of the Necromancer is a solid Rogue-Lite action RPG title that has a clever resurrection mechanic, but otherwise doesn’t do much new and different. That said, what Sword of the Necromancer does, it does pretty well and makes it one of the more enjoyable enters into the genre.

Sword of the Necromancer offers some new ideas, however they are just so minor that the game just doesn't stand out from its competition at all.

Sword of the Necromancer is a satisfying experience that leaves you rooting for the characters and reviving all of the monsters.

With the rise of popularity and quality in roguelikes across the board in the past year or two the bar has been raised with expectations and unfortunately I consider Sword of the Necromancer a casualty of that shift...
