What is NecroCity?

An isometric, single-player strategy game about a young undead prince trying to prove himself. You gather resources, expand outposts on grid-based maps, and use walls, traps, soldiers, and magic to defend against waves of heroes. Active pause lets you stop the action to plan your defenses.

For you if...

+you enjoy balancing resource gathering with preparing defenses
+you prefer a lighthearted take on an undead setting

Not for you if...

−you want long-term city development rather than defensive missions
−you want multiplayer battles or cooperative base building
