❤ Core Gameplay Loop

As a stranded necromancer, you take on the objective of assembling and upgrading an undead army to defend your central tower from increasingly difficult enemy waves.

❤ Minion Creation and Customization

The ability to mix and match skeletal, zombie, orc, harpy, elemental, and even robotic body parts allows you to fine-tune your army to suit your playstyle and the challenges you face. Each body part brings its own set of stats and special attacks, encouraging experimentation to produce the optimal creature combinations.

❤ Exploration and Resource Gathering

Between defending your tower, you can control individual minions to explore the randomly generated game world. This allows you to collect additional body parts, discover upgrades for your tower, and uncover new enemy lairs to conquer. The exploration and resource gathering aspects provide a steady progression loop, as you can use the spoils of your expeditions to strengthen your army and increase your chances of survival.

❤ Tower Defense and Minion Management

While you can directly control a single minion, the majority of the gameplay involves managing the autonomous behavior of your undead horde. You must carefully position and distribute your minions to effectively defend your tower from the relentless enemy waves. The limited unit cap and the initially challenging AI of the minions (which has been improved over time) require you to strategize and adapt your tactics to ensure your tower's survival.

❤ Progression and Replayability

The game features a meta-progression system that allows you to unlock and upgrade persistent abilities, spells, and structures within your necromancer's lair. This encourages you to continue exploring and experimenting, as each successful run provides resources to further strengthen your necromantic arsenal for future attempts. The randomly generated world and diverse minion-building mechanics contribute to the game's replayability, as you are incentivized to try new strategies and approaches with each playthrough.

❤ Community Feedback and Updates

Early user reviews highlighted some issues with the minion AI and unit control, but the developers have addressed these concerns with subsequent updates. Many players now praise the improvements made to the minion behavior and the implementation of a 'hold position' command, allowing for more strategic and satisfying tower defense gameplay. The developer's responsiveness to community feedback has been well-received, and players are eager to see what additional content and features may be added in the future.
