“It's just such a tower defense... It's the most tower defense tower defense I've tower defensed in a long time.”
Retromation

“If you’re like me and are a huge sucker for any Tower Defense game that can catch you in its clutches and refuse to let go, then you’re in the right place. The Necromancer Cometh! combines fascinating mazing techniques as well as awesome ‘towers’ and enemies to create a game that I honestly couldn’t put down. It’s one of those games that you don’t buy unless you’re ready to enjoy the heck out of it and want to play all the time.”

About This Game

The Necromancer Cometh is a mazing tower defense game with roguelike and deckbuilding mechanics.

Mazing is when there are no preset paths or tower build spots. Instead, you can place your towers wherever you like and enemies must find a path through your maze. Forcing your enemies to take longer paths is key to your success!

Choose from random towers and upgrades and see how long you can last against thousands of enemies in the new Survivor mode!

Play through the campaign! Build a deck of cards to craft the perfect defense, and face off against The Necromancer in an epic life-or-death battle!



  • Where you place your tower is just as important as what tower you build! Build a maze which maximizes the effectiveness of each tower!
  • Each tower has a unique ability that you must utilize in order to win! Unlock dozens of towers as you play! Mix and match their unique abilities to deal maximum damage!
  • Each enemy has a unique ability that you must counter in order to beat the level! Defend against waves of enemies and mini bosses!
  • Take advantage of the level features as you build your maze through procedurally generated levels!
  • Enjoy the dark-but-playful fantasy theme with a fun ska-inspired soundtrack!

Can you survive when The Necromancer Cometh?
