Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection Remakes 2021 Roguelike

For a game released in 2021, a remake three years later might feel unnecessary. However, the Kickstarter campaign for Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant, pitched a 3D remake of the first game as a stretch goal. That goal was met, so here we are with Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection launching sometime in 2024 to provide Revenant with more development time.

While Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection looks different visually, you still venture into a roguelike adventure that has Tama trying to revive her lost love, Koko. It’s not just the visuals that are different; the game will include updated gameplay mechanics such as the ability to customize summoned creatures’ AI tactics. Also, Tama and Yoko’s love story will be fleshed out more with new cutscenes featuring remastered illustrations and your choice of English or Japanese voiceovers. Lastly, beating the remake will unlock a summon in Revenant based on a boss from the first game.

STORY

“Legend says that, deep within these mountains, a heretic decided to violate the will of the gods in order to achieve eternal life.

The heretic succeeded in this aberrant attempt, and created a tool for forbidden rituals that could grant immortality… and even bring back the dead.

Over the years and centuries many have tried to get that power for themselves, but all they found in the Necromancer’s crypt was their demise.

They say that the tool the Necromancer created is also a weapon…

The Sword of the Necromancer”

Tama is a former rogue that is tasked to escort the priestess Koko in her pilgrimage around the continent. During their travel Koko dies, and Tama carries the corpse to the Necromancer’s crypt, where legends say there dwells a power that may resurrect the dead.

Filled with despair, Tama will enter the dungeon with the aim of obtaining the forbidden power of necromancy, ignoring the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
