Necroking is a turn-based tactics roguelite with vast deckbuilding. You play as a Master of Necromancy. Build your skulls deck, raise skeletons and other scum to defeat settlements desecrated by life.
Players build a customizable deck of over 30 unique undead unit types, ranging from classic skeletons to exotic spiders and demons. As players progress, they unlock new unit cards, allowing them to experiment with different synergies and strategies. Reviewers praise the deckbuilding system's depth and balance, with a mix of powerful staple units and more situational, specialized cards.
The turn-based battles engage players with a satisfying level of tactical depth. Each unit has distinct abilities and roles, requiring players to carefully manage their resources (mana and souls) to deploy the optimal mix of units to counter the enemy composition. The real-time nature of the combat, where players can activate unit abilities at any time, adds a layer of reactivity and quick decision-making.
Every playthrough features a procedurally generated overworld and enemy encounters, ensuring a unique experience. While rebuilding the deck from scratch at the start of each run can be frustrating for some, it encourages experimentation and exploration as players strive to discover new synergies and strategies to overcome the ever-changing challenges.
The game's pacing and difficulty curve are praised, with the early stages feeling manageable but gradually ramping up in challenge as players progress. The ability to unlock and upgrade new unit cards provides a sense of progression and motivates repeated playthroughs. The inclusion of multiple difficulty settings, including a challenging "Unfair" mode, allows players to tailor the experience to their skill level.
