The Necromantic Arts have been practiced for a long time now in games and I’m curious if any unique or fun takes on this fantasy classic have gone relatively unnoticed?
I just finished Loop Hero and it got me thinking on the Necromancers. My current go to is the Necromancer from Diablo 3. Diablo 3 has become such a speedrunning thing in it’s seasonal format and having your 7 skeletons dash at foes with terrifying speed as you too zoom through the battlefield is fairly satisfying for a while.
Usually necromancy in most video games consist of a few dottering skeletons that you may or may not command and maybe a resurrected minor foe that does whatever it likes. But I’m curious to know from reddit what other takes haven’t I seen or thought of when it comes to this fantasy classic hero?
Ubisoft came out to say they are shutting down services for games, but this isn’t anything new for the industry.
I was a fan of the game Hawken that you can’t play anymore (am aware of the fan project but you can only play a offline training mode).
These companies need to be accountable for shutting their game services down. Let players host their own servers.
Do I expect this to happen? Of course not, but the discussion at least needs to be had.
