Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to participate in early access to make the game the best version of itself. We believe a game like this needs heavy community involvement to reach its full potential. Our plan has always been to get this game in players' hands and mold it based on their feedback. Releasing this game normally would not communicate with players that there is still work to be done on this game. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game will be in early access for about a year or so. This will give us ample time to iterate on the game and bring it to a solid 1.0 version. From that point, the game will most likely not have drastic gameplay changes, and should mostly see content, balance, and bug fix updates.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will have more content. We plan on adding more characters, treasures, items, potions, and more events to the game. This will allow the game to have more replayability and variance between individual runs.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the early access version is the core of the game that will be built upon. The player can progress through the map battling monsters and building their arsenal of tools. The player should expect to be able to play with 2 characters, find 30+ treasures, 20+ pieces, and 10+ potions along the way to help them. The main battle mechanic is a match-3 board where the pieces come from your inventory to complete actions like attack, defend, etc. Treasures give you passive upgrades, and your character has unique abilities of their own. As you traverse the map, you can encounter enemies, shops, rest sites, and random events that can make or break your run. This game is replayable as the map is procedurally generated, and players get random pieces and treasures awarded to them. There are 3 floors in the game, and expect your average run to take around an hour. This is the foundation of the game, and will be maintained as the game grows.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game will increase when we leave early access. ”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We invite any community members to our discord to report bugs, give feedback, ideas, etc. We want the community to feel like they have a say in the general direction of the game to make it the best experience possible. ”

About This Game

Necro-Matcher is a turn-based match-3 rogue-lite. You traverse a procedurally generated map, fight monsters by utilizing a match-3 board, and build up your inventory using the pieces, treasures, and potions you pick up along the way.

Your inventory of pieces appear on the board. Buying, upgrading, and swapping them changes the effectiveness of your build. Match them to attack, defend, heal, dodge, or trigger something special, while the enemy relays its intent to you. You only get so many moves each turn, so every match is preparation for whatever comes next.

Treasures are passive upgrades that gives your character passive and active abilities in and out of battle. Potions are single-use tools you can use to give yourself a boost. Each character has a unique starting loadout of pieces and signature ability. In this version you can play two of them, and you can find 30+ treasures, 20+ pieces, and 10+ potions along the way. Not every reward will be of use depending on your strategy/playstyle.

The map branches through battles, shops, rest sites, and random events that can make or break a run. There are three floors. An average run takes about an hour, and every run feels different.
