About This Demo

Raise the dead. Form your army. Return more powerful.

In Necrolord, you play as a Lich leading a growing undead army through a dark fantasy world. Explore procedurally generated lands, loot powerful weapons, and develop your troops. Your units fight autonomously. The right preparation and well-timed spells can decide victory or defeat.

Your first campaign as Necrolord

Experience the core gameplay of Necrolord: build your army, explore the world, and face the first Inquisition. The demo ends after you defeat this first Inquisition.

Build your undead army

Raise the fallen and assemble an army from different skeleton classes. Combine their abilities, distribute your equipment, and decide which troops to strengthen. Every loss can change your next battle.

Intervene with dark magic

Support your independently fighting units with your Lich's spells. Summon reinforcements, weaken your enemies, and seize the right moment to turn the tide of battle.

Explore, loot, and craft

Choose your path through a world of hostile groups, guarded treasures, and dangerous encounters. Weigh loot against risk and manage your resources. Dismantle unused weapons into Arcanium and craft new equipment for your army.

Defeat is not your end

Reincarnation begins a new run on a new continent. Your army, weapons, and resources are lost, but your spells and Lich abilities remain. Rebuild your forces and use your newfound power for the next assault.

The resistance grows in the full game

This first victory is only the beginning. In the full game, your campaign continues: with every defeated Inquisition, regular enemies across the world grow stronger. Keep developing your army and work toward your ultimate goal: defeating the Emperor.

A look at a game in development

The demo showcases Necrolord's core gameplay. Many sounds, visual effects, and animations are still in development. Balancing is also being refined: the current demo does not yet fully reflect the challenge intended for the finished game.
