Mark Brenner: Who doesn’t love a game where you get to play as the necromancer, raising people from the dead to do your bidding as you slaughter townsfolk to create an even bigger army. Spreading your plague has always been a wholesome past time. You know, fun for the whole family. The necromancer is almost always portrayed as the bad guy, an evil fiend with a taste for destruction. Despite the fun concept, there is a decided lack of necromancer themed titles because of the microscopic market. I haven’t played a necromancer themed game since Diablo 2. Going into Nekro was an adventure in itself.
If you were a backer or fan of the early access kickstarted game Nekro, it appears that the game is no longer being developed.
In this review, Michael gives Steam users a preview of Nekro on Early Access, a real time strategy game that could have easily been a mod for Warcraft 3. - "the game has such a simplistic feel in terms of actually playing the game, that I feel like it could almost be considered a Warcraft 3 mod on its own rather than it having become a real game. Not to say that it was a mod, but given the playstyle, and the map functionality, it seems almost like it should have been."
There is something quite delicious about being evil within a videogame.
Normally we are tasked with saving the world, but in this early access preview the name of the game is wanton destruction - Writes Derrick Ritchie
