    In Solomon's Boneyard, you can play as one of seven young wizards, with over thirty skills to master. The game is a survival two-thumb shooter, where you will face wave after wave of undead hordes, while gaining levels and choosing new skills to fight with.

    The game comes complete with a high score list, and an innovative perks system that will allow you to grow in power the more you play.

    For veterans of Solomon's Keep, the game can be described as "endless survival-horror Solomon's Keep." While you will not progress through a dungeon, you will level up, and gain new and more powerful skills and items while you fight hordes of undead in the boneyard.

    Solomon's Boneyard differs from Solomon's Keep in these ways:

    1. Your mana recovers faster. You start out as a member of the college's junior faculty, boasting more skills than the new graduage in Solomon's Keep.

    2. A new primary and secondary skill set is available, utilizing cold magic.
    3. All the skill welding is available, but you'll need to unlock the bonus characters to get to them. Characters in Solomon's Boneyard cannot get new primary skills, and are stuck with the ones they start with.

    4. Gold is persistent. Any gold you win in a game sticks around forever, for you to buy perks.

    5. The perks system allows you to start your game with your favorite skills, or other bonuses.

    6. You can find powerup bonuses to increase your damage or level up a skill.

    7. Wizards with more than one primary skill can weld skills starting at level 5 instead of level 10.    … Expand

    Solomon's Boneyard is free. There are in app purchases but they are not necessary. This game is easy to pick up since whenever you leave the game, it will let you resume where you left off.

    Solomon's Boneyard is Solomon's Keep minus the dungeon crawling and plus the action, making an already great title even better.

    Solomon's Boneyard smartly hones in on a more action-oriented brand of gameplay than its predecessor, casting the established twin-stick combat and RPG character development elements in a new and attractive light.

    Prequel of Solomon's Keep, in Solomon's Boneyard it's possible to use 7 little wizards, against a young Solomon Dark and his malefic creatures. The wizards attack the enemies with different kind of power, in an endless horde-mode; every character has a personal strategy, so variety and fun is guaranted.

    Fans of dual-stick shooters, survival titles or Solomon's Keep will definitely want to pick this one up.

    Solomon's Boneyard is a great expansion to Solomon's Keep but does not quite reach the same great heights in the crowded survival shooter genre.

    The charming prequel to Solomon's Keep let you choose between seven magicians to beat the crap out of hordes of skeletons and other enemies. Solomon's Boneyard is a bargain and well worth checking out.
