About this game
Oath of the Necromancer is a summoning-based rogue-like rooted in Greek-Egyptian myth!
Raise the dead, grow an army and conquer all that stands in your way.
Raid, pillage and raise more to join your cause - the destruction of the old tyrant's forces.
Do so in the name of Serapis - a once powerful God now in need of help.
Amass a worthy army, up to the thousands.
Raise powerful warriors, mages, archers, beasts and monsters.
Cover your armies weaknesses by strategically shaping your army.
Every playthrough let's you try new combinations and variations.
Built for replayability, each run will let you make many strategic choices.
Will it be enough to bring down the tyrant's forces?
Find new synergies every time you set foot in the tyrant's realm.
Recover powerful relics that grant game-changing upgrades,
improve your necromancy, enhance your summons, or become a destructive battle-mage.
Return with your spoils of war to grow permanently stronger and improve your chances of slaying the old tyrant.
Your people need a place to settle. Rebuild Serapis' temple, expand it, and find yourself with more allies.
Help your townsfolk, mingle, and watch your community grow over time.
The old tyrant left many to wander the deserts.
Word gets around - remarkable allies may move in and aid in your cause.
Find the remains of ancient heroes and bring them back to life, some of which you may remember.
Find out how the heroes take their newly granted second chances, and of how much help they can be.
Perhaps... you can change their fate?

June Update: New Unit Upgrade System & Balance Changes
Rise to the occasion! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45328926/6f8b1a6833ffabb0eb71401d594016bb4052146b.gif Heya all! We're back for a smaller update for Oath of the Necromancer. It includes Settings, save data, quality-of-life changes, and Version 1 of the new Unit Upgrade System - to give a taste of what's to come: A full overhaul of the stats & upgrade system. The goal is to let you play how you want. Have every single possible unit in your army? Or invest everything into the Skeleton Troll? The update already goes in that direction, until the full overhaul hits live for the next patch. In the meantime, we rebalanced the game to a more challenging degree. We hope it raises decision-making, learning the map, and intense, nerve-racking moments! We added a lot more behind-the-scenes stuff, that we can't wait to show off in the future :) Let us know what you think! We re always looking to include your opinions in the game development. You can do so here in the forum, or over on our Discord The path is LIVE NOW As always, thanks for playing, Oathkeepers! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45328926/425863ab30f9201be556838324f534ac5e21a3dc.gifRead full article on Community Announcements (Nyco is dreaming)Patch NotesOfficial
