Sword Of The Necromancer Anime-Inspired Opening Cinematic Revealed

It looks like Sword of the Necromancer is getting prepared to impress folks when it launches later this year!

Grimorio of Games and JanduSoft have shared a new anime-style opening cinematic for the upcoming roguelike action game – which launches for Switch in December 2020. As reported previously, the game will let players summon their fallen enemies to fight for them within a sprawling dungeon!

Check it out below, along with the official press release:

Sword of the Necromancer is a dungeon-crawler action-RPG with roguelike elements where you can revive your defeated enemies to make them fight alongside you. Turn your foes into allies using the forbidden powers of the Sword of the Necromancer and help the rogue Tama reach the dungeon’s depths in order to gain enough power to bring her beloved priestess Koko back from the dead. Gather a small army of monsters, equip yourself with weapons and relics, and level up to take on the guardians that stand between you and your goal.

Each try gets you closer to the Necromancer. Upon death you’ll lose all your equipped weapons and monsters, but you will retain part of the level you achieved in your run. As you delve further into the dungeon you’ll uncover more of Tama and Koko’s past. Don’t want to go it alone? Then use the Flask of Homunculus to create a copy of yourself and play with a friend in local co-op! Additionally, there are IR codes that can be scanned to make the game easier. Or harder. The choice is yours!
