  • Summary: The Necromancer's Tale is a narrative-driven top-down RPG where you play the role of a minor noble in the 18th Century, drawn into the Dark Necromantic Arts as you seek knowledge and revenge.

    Great power awaits... along with the weird, the morbid, and a gradual descent into madness.    The Necromancer's Tale is a narrative-driven top-down RPG where you play the role of a minor noble in the 18th Century, drawn into the Dark Necromantic Arts as you seek knowledge and revenge.

    Great power awaits... along with the weird, the morbid, and a gradual descent into madness.

The world is dark and dangerous; courtly intrigue collides with black magic even as chemistry emerges from alchemy.

    A play-through will take between 25 and 50 hours, depending on how much side content and world exploration you engage with, and depending on whether you play the battles or use automatic combat resolution.    … Expand

    Though it does a pretty good job of fleshing out the narrative side of the equation, the base console controls are pretty miserable, and in general the game has a slow and clunky feel.
