We’re not just talking about a perspective swap along the way to develop a richer atmosphere. And while I could forgive it for its lack of originality, I cannot fathom a reason (sans an absence of creativity) why it would make me run through the same story twice. Try as it might to spice up its list of tropes with a dash of progressive sexuality, Sword of the Necromancer isn’t taking home any trophies with the plot alone. After a fatal run-in with with an old friend, Tama must fight her way through the fabled crypt of the necromancer to find a higher power that can bring Koko back from the dead. The latter tasks the former with joining her as she experiences the world at large, and the two naturally fall deeply in love along the way.
Were they forcefully ripped from a heavenly cloud resplendent with harp music to join the cold, mortal world? Do they endlessly regret finding themselves alive again to fight another day? Are they cursed to repeat this process for eternity, beholden to the whims of another? Like those poor souls we dragged back to the land of the living, I found myself asking these same questions as I trudged through one identical dungeon after another in Grimorio of Games’ new rogue-like, Sword of the Necromancer.įollowing a tale as old as time, Sword of the Necromancer tells the story of Tama, a rough-and-tumble bandit with a heart of gold, and Koko, a priestess-in-training who has outgrown her cloistered lifestyle. I have always fostered a lingering fascination with necromancy, but what really piques my curiosity is the perspective of the recently deceased (and more recently revived).
