“While this spooky-cute tower defense game is a bit 'barebones,' it makes for a casual good time w/ its charming music, graphics, & mazing gameplay. Modes include a campaign & survival, w/ unlockables.”

“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.”
The Gaming Cavern

“The beauty of The Necromancer Cometh! is that you never get bored of playing it. Despite not having beaten all the levels yet, the game doesn't make me want to give up, even after failing a level ten times. I don't remember many games that have made me feel this way before.”
8.5/10 – Somos Gaming

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 your enemies must find a path through your maze. Forcing your enemies to take a longer path is key to your success!

There are currently 3 game modes to choose from:
  • Survivor: Choose from random towers and upgrades and see how long you can last against endless waves of enemies!
  • Campaign: Build a deck of cards to craft the perfect defense across 26 levels! Face off against The Necromancer in an epic life-or-death battle!
  • Freeplay: Perfect your strategy and build the perfect maze in classic TD levels! See how long you can last against endless waves of enemies!



  • Where you place your towers is just as important as what tower you build! Build a maze which maximizes the effectiveness of each tower!
  • Force your enemies to take the long way as you block their path with your towers!
  • Unlock dozens of towers as you play! Mix and match their unique abilities to deal maximum damage!
  • Defend against waves of enemies and mini bosses, each with a unique ability that will test your defenses!
  • Buff your towers to increase their damage and improve their effectiveness!
  • Take advantage of the level features as you build a huge maze through procedurally generated levels!
  • Improve your economy and rake in the gold as you kill your foes!
  • Enjoy the dark-but-playful fantasy theme with a fun ska-inspired soundtrack!

Can you survive when The Necromancer Cometh??
