  • A realtime game where you play a necromancer with the ability to bring enemies back from the dead. While it's fun to lead around a mass of slimes, your minions are pretty dumb even by the standards of undead and mostly just get stuck in corners or in the way of your attacks, so in effect you have a choice of either having minions or using your own magic. There are quite a few bugs and unfinished aspects of the game - there is nothing to stop you from leaving the map, enemies/minions with healing auras sometimes 'drop' them and enemies/minions also sometimes move through or get stuck in walls. The game has sprites which are appealing individually, but don't combine too well; for example the walls and the floor tiles do not align. Controls are straightforward and easy to pick up. Roguelike elements are extremely limited; the levels are simply a repeating grid of exactly the same room over and over again so there is not much meaningful procedural generation and the game doesn't even have permadeath - dying simply returns you to the start of the level.
