Grimorio of Games has announced that Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection, the 3D remake of the original Sword of the Necromancer is on its way to coming soon to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series. This was previously planned as a stretch goal in the sequel’s Kickstarter campaign, but instead, it will be released before Sword of the Necromancer: Revenant to give more time to the latter’s development.
Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection is a reimagining of the original monster-summoning dungeon crawler game that featured top-down pixel art graphics and is based on Revenant‘s engine. Players will be able to relive Tama’s quest to resurrect her lover in 3D, with new ways to battle and renewed mechanics and systems, such as the possibility of customizing the summoned monsters’ AI. The game will also feature remastered high-quality illustrations and voice acting (both in English and Japanese) and new scenes to delve deeper into Tama and Koko’s tragic love story. In addition Beating Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection will also unlock rewards in Revenant once it’s available, including summoning the bosses of the remake as special summons.
Among the features of the game are:
- Turn your foes into allies: Use the Sword of the Necromancer to revive defeated monsters and make them fight alongside you.
- Plan your battles, control the dead: Customize your summons’ behaviour with the Tactics feature.
- New dimension, new battle system: Improved combos and a new companion AI system.
- Level up: Enhance your character and your monsters by fighting together.
- Relive the journey: Discover Tama and Koko’s past as you advance through the dungeon.
- Local co-op play: Play with a friend in local co-op.
