Necromatica

Thou art a Necromancer. Consult thy grimoire and raise thy army. Should thy perish, thou shalt return with new power.

To honor dark forces below, bring death to the living and offer their souls to gain new spells and summons.

Necromatica

This is a rough prototype of a real-time strategy game where you summon units and cast spells to defend your Necromancer Tower. Meanwhile, enemy heroes appear from churches and from the Town, trying to destroy you. Once you destroy the town, you win the map. If your tower falls, that's game over. Don't dally too long though, as the enemy grows stronger with every passing minute.

Once you die or succeed at destroying the town, you're taken to an upgrade screen. There you can boost your tower's statistics as well as unlock new spells and units by spending Souls, which are gained by destroying enemy units and structures.

Before you begin, you can choose one of four maps to play on. There's no sound or music yet. There are seven units to try, six enemy units, and five spells to unlock.

How to Play:

If you've ever played a Real-Time-Strategy game before, you know how to play.

• Left Click to Select a unit. Drag a box over a group to select them all.
• Shift-Click units to add or remove them from the selection. Hold Shift and drag a box over a group of units to add them all.
• Control-Click to select a group of the same type of unit.
• Right Click to order your units to Move. Right click an enemy to Attack.
• Press A to start an Attack-Move order, and left click to pick a destination.
• Press S to order your units to Stop immediately.

Your resources are shown in the top left. The top icon is Bones, followed by Mana, then Command, and finally Souls. Your tower automatically generates Bones and Mana, and if you control a Graveyard, that will generate Bones too. To capture a Graveyard, destroy any enemies nearby and park a unit next to it. The purple sparkles and outline means its yours. Destroying structures grants you bonus resources as well, and lots of souls.

Use the Summon and Spells buttons in the bottom right to pull up menus, then click the option you want to use and unleash it with the left mouse button. You can only summon units near your tower. You don't start with any spells, but you can unlock them by spending Souls in the Upgrade Screen.

Good luck, Necromancer!
