……………………
Grimorio of Games is pleased to announce that a remake of the original Sword of the Necromancer is planned as part of the Kickstarter campaign for its sequel, Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant. This would be a full 3D remake of the original monster-summoning dungeon crawler game, which featured roguelite elements top-down pixelart graphics.
Resurrection will be based on Revenant‘s improved mechanics and systems, including the possibility of customizing the summoned monster’s AI, and will retell Tama and Koko’s tragic love story. Delve deep into the dungeon and Tama’s memories and learn about how they met and what they went through, obtain the power of the Necromancer and bring Koko back from the dead!
Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will be given to all the backers of Revenant that get at least the digital game if the campaign reaches its stretch goal of €201K. Remember that backers can also get a free copy of the original 2D game for Steam, and exclusive campaign rewards like a full-fledged Trading Card Game that also grants items and monsters to summon in the video game. That’s three videogames and a card game for supporting one project!
Beating Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will also unlock rewards in Revenant, like the possibility of summoning the bosses of the remake as special summons (the titular Revenants). Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will be developed for the same platforms as Revenant (Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series) and released some time after it.
