Necrosmith

PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch • 2022

Should you play it?

A necromancer simulator. Assemble the dead using different body parts while upgrading your tower, combine the abilities of the different fantastic races to fight your way through the hordes of enemies and overrun the ’chosen ones’. To tell the truth, the dead are pretty, uhm, dumb.
