About this game
THE NECROMANCER COMETH!
The Necromancer Cometh! is a Dark Fantasy Pathbuilding Tower Defense Adventure with fun fantasy characters, spooky enemies, strategic deckbuilding, and limitless pathbuilding.
BUILD YOUR OWN PATH!
In TNC!, there are no preset paths or fixed tower spots—you decide where to place your towers. Your towers will block your enemies, who will then try to navigate through the maze you create, seeking the shortest path to their goal.
Your challenge? Force them to take the longest, most treacherous route possible. Every twist and turn you design could mean the difference between victory and defeat!
EMBARK ON AN ADVENTURE!
Embark on an epic campaign where strategy meets survival. Navigate and conquer ruthless environments, each with its own unique challenges and enemies. Master the mechanics, towers, and strategies as you beat map after map, uncovering the lore behind TNC!.
Along the way, unlock powerful abilities to prepare for the ultimate showdown with The Necromancer himself.
Do you have what it takes to survive when The Necromancer Cometh?

MASTER MAZE-BUILDING!
Where you place your towers is just as important as what tower you build! Build a maze which maximizes the effectiveness of each tower!
Build huge mazes with hundreds of towers and force your enemy to take the long way! There is no limit to what you can build in TNC!
Defend against waves of enemies and mini bosses, each with a unique ability that will test your defenses!

Devlog: The Siren Cometh!
Meet The Siren, a new boss enemy and harbinger of doom coming to The Necromancer Cometh soon! The Siren is a terrifying force of nature, capable of summoning fierce creatures from the forest to fight for her. As The Queen of the Forest, all of the forest creatures must obey her bidding! The Siren draws your fire, forcing all towers to prioritize attacking her above all else. If you let her summon unchecked, the battlefield will quickly spiral out of control. Focus your fire, or risk being overwhelmed by the forest’s wrath! Originally the Siren was intended to be the main villainess of a second campaign, but we decided it would better to roll her into the main campaign and make that campaign even more epic. With the addition of the Siren comes a ton of new enemies for you to fight. Prepare for a new kind of challenge! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44195944/c73a077c007f19ada20e1ac8b3a6ddbf44e4759a.jpgRead full article on Community Announcements (Dang Rascals)AnnouncementsOfficial
