Retro RPG with a comedic twist
NecroWorld is a paid 2D turn-based RPG developed by Kaitlyn Kitty and published by NecroCatic Games. It blends classic RPG mechanics with a comedic narrative, featuring characters from other NecroCatic Games titles. It presents players with an open world, with a distinct retro visual style for people who enjoy comedic RPGs.
NecroWorld’s host of quirky yet edgy characters aims to provide a standalone RPG experience within the NecroCatic Games universe. Its main gameplay revolves around recruiting characters, exploring a hostile open world, and engaging in turn-based combat. The game intends to blend familiar RPG mechanics and humorous storytelling with adult themes.
Explore and recruit unique characters
NecroWorld puts a twist on the open-world genre with diverse maps and a day-and-night cycle. It also features a Retro Sideview Combat system and turn-based battles. It includes two dozen recruitable characters, with some characters lifted directly from other games, as a homage. Customization-wise, it provides a large selection of weapons and armor. The game features hand-drawn, doodle-style enemies and bosses, with battle rewards involving unique items and standard experience points.
The game’s narrative involves a lot of exploration and character recruitment, featuring characters from previous NecroCatic Games titles. The game includes turn-based combat with a retro visual style as a throwback, but still keeps some modern elements to it. The soundtrack ranges from upbeat battle themes to atmospheric exploration music and is sufficient enough to hear a new song with every battle.
While having some cute visuals, it is strictly not for younger gamers, since the comedic mature content may not appeal to all players Additionally, players might find the gameplay loop repetitive in the long run, as with other turn-based games, making it unappealing to people who want something new. Nonetheless, the game's system requirements are minimal, allowing for smooth gameplay on most setups, and the software doesn’t need to be updated.
A great modern classic
NecroWorld offers a blend of classic RPG mechanics and comedic storytelling for players who enjoy retro-style games. The game's mechanics, including open-world exploration and turn-based combat, aim to provide a varied and engaging experience. However, the comedic mature content and potential for repetition may not suit all players. Thankfully, it can run well on most hardware and older software versions.v
