The Necromancer's Tale

“The Necromancer’s Tale isn’t flawless—its combat can be clunky, setups sometimes frustrating, and technical stumbles may irritate—but its strengths in narrative, atmosphere, and choice-driven gameplay make it a memorable experience for fans of story-rich CRPGs.”

“Atmospheric and story rich RPG with a hint of a detective mystery.”

“The Necromancer's Tale is an RPG that moves away from power fantasy to rely on a masterful narrative where every decision has its price. It is an RPG experience that demands time, attention, and setting aside preconceptions such as the heroic figure of the protagonist. It is a title that offers a story that simmers slowly, where every decision—even the most insignificant ones—can have a notable impact on the story.”

“The Necromancer's Tale is a promising, well-written RPG with a fleshed-out trust system and rich characters, but simplistic, clunky combat hinders the game a bit.”

“If you've got a taste for the macabre, you really can't go wrong with The Necromancer's Tale. It makes you work for your necromantic powers but its gripping story will have hooked from beginning to end.”

“Despite its flaws, it is a hidden gem among CRPG titles that every fan of the genre—and of dark magic in general—should play. Beneath its unassuming visuals lies a well-written story and over 40 hours of necromantic fun.”

“The Necromancer’s Tale is a standout narrative RPG that values prose over play, best approached as a richly interactive novel and not a traditional RPG. If you’re here for story, not systems, you’ll find a rewarding, text-heavy journey worth your time, and one that stays with you long after the last paragraph is read.”

“Once you are born, The Necromancer’s Tale begins to blur the line between fixed narrative and player-driven storytelling. Your character’s early years play out with some key events already set in stone, but you’re given meaningful choices throughout. Almost like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, but darker and more immersive. These early decisions don’t just affect the story; they directly impact your character’s stats. It’s a smart and creative way to build your character through narrative instead of menus, and it adds real meaning to the choices you make.”
