The game starts at the scene in the Necromancer Crypt, with Tama standing before Koko’s breathless body and swearing to find a way to bring her back. The tool she needs is the Necromancer Sword, which in the legends can revive any living being. Gaining the sword was surprisingly easy, yet there is always a catch. It works perfectly fine on any monster you encounter but has no effect on Koko. The vision of the Necromancer themselves appears in front of the devastated Tama and mockingly offers her to gain more strength and challenge their authority in the depths of the dungeon.

With procedurally generated dungeons, every playthrough offers a unique experience. Discover new enemies, allies, and secrets with each run.

From now on, the new pieces of the story appear as Tama’s memories and thoughts after defeating bosses of each floor, some newly added pieces can be opened in special rooms. The story is a pretty classic one but also is openly sapphic, which likely boosted the interest to the original game. Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection doesn’t hide behind the words like ‘friendship’, stating from the start that it’s a story about love between two women. It’s nice to have the variety, although in truth it’s highly likely you’ll rarely fuss with your weapons palette. Beyond Galaxyland Switch NSP

Fussing with your collection of monsters is much more intensive and interesting, even as the results are still, unfortunately, really clunky. Monsters have a basic AI system you can fuss with in the menus. It’s a simplified version of the gambit system from Final Fantasy XII, where you can tell a monster to prioritize helping you, attacking whatever, or, if it sees a pressure plate, it’ll go and help you solve a room puzzle without being asked. In theory. In reality, the monsters are still clumsy. I very quickly ran into some clunk with a slime I had programmed to sit on aforementioned plates.

Set their priorities, from targeting specific enemies to protecting you in critical moments.

For some reason, it passed up the one in the center of the room and tried to go for one up atop a platform that its slimy little butt couldn’t reach. When that happened previously, I just unsummoned it, waited for the cooldown, and summoned it on the correct platform. I fully expected the ghostlike sorcerers, being floaty, to not be able to interact with the plate if I gave them that command. I did not expect the lad to levitate straight up to seek some mysterious great platform in the sky. And I was still going to have to wait for the slime to come off cool down. It does muck with the rhythm of the combat section. Beyond Border Switch NSP

What this amounts to is a roguelike dungeon crawl with so little focus it’s almost embarrassing. That’s really not to undermine the no-doubt hard work and passion of the developers, but there’s just nothing whatsoever to get your teeth into in Sword of the Necromancer. It’s hamstrung by one major and completely insane design flaw; you can only carry four items. This would maybe, maybe be OK, but the central mechanic of the game – resurrected monsters that fight on your side – take up a slot each. We’ll come back to this nonsense shortly, but an explanation is in order.

Dodge, attack, and combine abilities to defeat enemies in thrilling and intense battles.

General combat sees you slashing at your enemies ala Zelda, but upon defeat, it’s possible to reanimate their corpses in order to fight alongside you. Resurrected enemies level up as they fight, but they’re easily killed. We’d say it’s best not to get attached to them, but you won’t really need them anyway as their A.I is rubbish and they couldn’t hit the side of a barn – a major problem given that the third boss is the side of a barn. Okay, obviously that’s untrue, but we’re trying to inject some entertainment value into this review of a game that it’s shockingly difficult to write anything interesting about.

It has the ostensible structure of Enter the Gungeon, but with none of the gameplay variation that makes that title so compelling. Kill enemies, get a key, fight a boss, go to the next floor. Between floors, you’re able to send items back to the “hub” area to use, abuse and upgrade for your next attempt, but there’s very little more to it than that. You’ve got a fun, speedy dash move to help you get in and out of enemy range, but it’s very limited and on a cool-down, so you can’t even zip about the dungeon when you’ve cleared it out. That’s such a basic thing and would have made the game far breezier and more fun. Beyond Blue Switch NSP
