Necrowizardry
A downloadable game
An epic duel to determine the fate of necrowizardry itself!
Play the Good Wizard Justice as he faces down the Evil Wizard Malevolence atop a (conveniently flat) mountain surrounded by lava. Unfortunately, the school of necromancy basically only contains a single spell: summon basic skeletons!
However, unlike Malevolence, Justice prefers to take matters into his own hands. Summon your mindless skeletal horde, then possess them to guide their blades to the Evil Wizard, and put him down for good! Be warned though, when possessing, your frail wizardy-self is unmoving and vulnerable!
Make sure to possess! Your skeleton does bonus damage when it's possessed! Your projectile as the wizard does very little damage! Use your possession ability!
Tips:
- You can only possess your own skeletons! (the white ones)
- Your projectile does minimal damage, but is great for knocking enemies back to give you space!
- Your spell begins only summoning a couple skeletons at a time. As time goes on, more skeletons will be summoned with each spell!
- Make sure to keep summoning skeletons when the abiltiy is off cooldown!
- Switch back constantly between going on the offensive with your skeletons and switching back to the wizard to evade and reinforce your ranks!
- Listen out for the evil wizard’s voice cues, telegraphing his projectile attack! They kill your skeletons instantly, so be ready to dash!

A good fun short game, with goofy voice lines! Takes not that long to beat, which is fair imo. Personally, I struggled a bit with the framerate but that probably is because of my old pc, but it was still okay, even with all the skeletons around.
I don't really get much of a chance to play around as a skeleton, but it is a neat idea to control them! I just keep getting noticed by the enemy's skeleton which makes me panic. That said, it's good fun to have a weird out of body experience that way and attack the enemy while I have the chance~! The game sort of continues when you win, but that's just what I imagine having limitations can do. I still have yet to die with the victory screen! ha~!
All in all, a good fun time~! I love those skeletons tbh.
